Job description

We are seeking an Associate Financial Advisor (AFA) to work alongside a Personal Financial Advisor to manage the relationships of roughly 50 to 250 “best fit” client households in our Dayton, Ohio office.

Our practice has grown from $16 million AUM in 2011 to $580 million today. We have been recognized as a Private Wealth Advisor Practice and have received the Forbes Best in State Management Teams award along with many individual Advisor awards.

Over this time, we have continually screened our clientele for quality individuals who are willing to receive advice and good people we enjoy working with. Our knowledgeable advice and proactive service approach has been rewarded with much growth from our clients. We anticipate this growth to continue, and we want to ensure our clients continue to receive industry leading service and advice.

The AFA will begin by assisting our Personal Advisors by working with existing and new clients. The Personal advisor will lead you as you hone your skills and prepare to manage an existing base of clients. As an AFA, you will be instrumental in creating and delivering a unique client experience that defines and differentiates our practice.

Although the qualifications listed below are necessary, the primary quality we seek is an individual that will work well on a team. Someone who can primarily focus on the team’s goals versus personal success. By doing so, we believe personal success can and will be achieved.

Required:

• Bachelor’s Degree

• FINRA Series 7 license

• FINRA Series 66 (or 63 & 65 combined)

• Insurance License (life, accident & variable products)

• 4+ years financial planning experience

• CFP designation preferred and should be willing to acquire APMA, CFA or CIMA designation.

Key traits of a successful associate financial advisor:

• Ability to meet with clients and present planning strategies

• Ability to source prospective clients

• High level of interpersonal skills

• Initiative in business development

• Entrepreneurial perspective and desire to grow the business

• Ability to recommend suitable investment products and services

• Success at planning and managing resources (time, people, budget) to run optimal practice

• Ability to adhere to rules and regulations as stated and required by advisor, Ameriprise Financial

• Ability to support and provide guidance for compliance within the advisor’s practice

Please note that you have not read anything on "investment management". That is because the primary job of a good Advisor is to grow individual relationships and give ongoing quality advice. In our practice, "investment management" is done as a systematized team approach. Our clients receive investment management advice as a collaboration from all qualified team members.

Benefits of working with Beyond Wealth Advisors

• Competitive Salary based on qualifications ($70,000-$85,000)

• Bonus potential

• Year End Longevity bonus (Some people call this a Christmas bonus; Our structure is progressive and expands the longer you remain with the team)

• 401k Retirement Plan – 100% matching up to 5% of your contribution after your first year of employment

• Group Health/Dental/Vision Coverage (We pay 60% of premiums)

• Progressive PTO & paid Holidays

• Paid Maternity/Paternity leave

• Paid Sabbatical every 5 years

• Equity opportunity

We want to make sure we are as explicit and clear about the potential with our practice as possible, because the basis for all relationships is built on "honesty". From start to finish there is nothing more important. We seek to be clear and honest from the beginning. If you find this refreshing and this is the type of relationship you seek (for the long term), let's get started!

At Ameriprise Financial, we’re not just in the business of helping clients with their financial goals – we also help our advisors and employees reach their true potential by embracing an inclusive and collaborative culture. We celebrate the unique qualities and reward the contributions of our talented, passionate employees. If you’re motivated and want to work for a strong, ethical company that cares about you and your community, take the next step with Ameriprise Financial.

This position is with an Ameriprise Financial Franchise owner.

Ameriprise Financial is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, genetic information, age, sexual orientation, citizenship, gender identity, disability, veteran status, marital status, family status or any other basis prohibited by law.
