Job description

In an increasingly complex world where people are starving for someone they can trust, we stand for something simple: always put the client first. We do well by doing good for those we serve. It’s the ultimate measure. We believe in providing value beyond a doubt and in the notion that time will either expose you or promote you, based on your willingness to embrace change.

We serve financial advisors and investors through three entities, each headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska: Carson Wealth, Carson Coaching and Carson Partners. We provide coaching and partnership services to advisor firms – and straightforward financial advice to the investing public. We all share a common mission to be the most trusted in financial advice.

Develop close, long-term relationships to understand client circumstances, goals, and future needs. Attend client events and maintain ongoing engagement.

Advisory Support & Investment Management

Review current investment products held in advisory and brokerage accounts. Reallocate to appropriate models to help clients meet financial objectives. Promote established investment models and wealth enhancement strategies suitable for targeted clients. Coordinate money movement, strategy changes, and paperwork with the operations team as needed.
