Financial Advisor - Growth Opportunity (New York)

Sterling Legacy Advisors is a next-generation wealth management firm built for advisors who want to do more than manage accounts - they want to build lasting relationships, deliver truly personalized advice, and have a meaningful role in the future of their practice.

We work with successful individuals, entrepreneurs, executives, and multigenerational families who expect more from their financial advisor than a model portfolio and a quarterly review. Our approach combines sophisticated investment management, comprehensive financial planning, and thoughtful wealth-preservation strategies designed around each client’s goals, values, and long-term legacy.

We are growing our New York team and are seeking experienced, licensed Financial Advisors who are ready for an environment that offers the resources and sophistication of a major financial institution without the layers of bureaucracy that can come with one.

Why Sterling Legacy

Sterling Legacy Advisors is building a wealth management firm for experienced advisors who want more autonomy and the freedom to put clients first.

• Work across the full picture: retirement, tax-aware strategy, risk management, estate, and multigenerational planning.
• Have a real voice in your practice and in shaping the firm’s culture and direction.
• Bring your experience, relationships, and credibility without starting over.
