A bit about us:

We are a collaborative wealth management and financial planning team managing approximately $870 million in client assets. Our team includes six financial advisors and 14 dedicated support professionals across financial planning, client service, and operations.

We believe great financial advice goes beyond investment management. Our approach emphasizes comprehensive financial planning, investment strategy, and tax-efficient wealth management to help clients make informed decisions and achieve their long-term financial goals.

We serve a diverse clientele, including high-net-worth individuals, high-income professionals, business owners, and families with complex financial needs. Our team works collaboratively to deliver personalized advice, build lasting client relationships, and provide an exceptional client experience.

We are committed to building a team-oriented culture where advisors share knowledge, support one another, and prioritize client outcomes over internal competition.

Why join us?

• A planning-first approach. Focus on delivering meaningful financial advice, including retirement planning, investment strategy, and tax-efficient wealth management, rather than product-driven sales.
• An established client base. Step into a meaningful advisory role with existing client relationships and opportunities to deepen those relationships over time.
• Collaborative team environment. Work alongside experienced advisors, dedicated paraplanners, administrative professionals, and operations staff. Our shared-service model allows advisors to focus on clients and financial planning rather than administrative tasks or trade execution.
• Attractive compensation. Earn a competitive base salary, performance-based bonuses, and additional profit sharing. Compensation recognizes contributions to new asset growth, financial planning, recurring revenue, and the success of the broader team.
• Business development opportunities. Benefit from internal referral opportunities, including relationships connected to tax and accounting services, with additional business development initiatives planned for 2027.
• Professional growth and mentorship. Collaborate with senior advisors and leadership, participate in regular advisor meetings, and continue developing your financial planning expertise in a supportive environment.
• Work-life balance. Enjoy a consistent weekday schedule with no expectation of building a practice in isolation or managing every operational detail independently.

• Demonstrated ability to build client relationships, communicate complex financial concepts, and identify planning opportunities.
• A collaborative, advice-oriented mindset with a genuine interest in helping clients achieve their goals.
• Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, business, or a related field preferred; other educational backgrounds will be considered.
