We are seeking an experienced Financial Advisor to work closely alongside our CEO and ultimately become the lead advisor for a number of established relationships, ensuring continuity of service and the same high level of care clients have come to expect. This is not a support advisor position. You are someone who can confidently lead planning discussions, provide strategic advice, and become a trusted resource for clients and their families. You are passionate about comprehensive financial planning and understand that exceptional wealth management extends far beyond investment management. You will help clients navigate retirement transitions, tax planning opportunities, estate and legacy considerations, charitable giving strategies, and the many financial decisions that arise throughout life. You will prepare for and lead client meetings, collaborate with internal team members on planning recommendations, coordinate implementation, and ensure clients receive proactive and consistent communication throughout the year. You will also contribute to the ongoing enhancement of our planning process and help identify opportunities to deepen client relationships through thoughtful advice and exceptional service.

Beyond technical expertise, we are looking for someone who embodies the values that have defined us for decades. You are humble, relationship-oriented, and genuinely enjoy helping others. You understand that trust is earned through competence, responsiveness, and follow-through. You can simplify complex topics, communicate with confidence, and build meaningful relationships with clients from all walks of life. You bring sound judgment, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to navigate sophisticated planning situations while maintaining a calm and approachable demeanor.
