The firm is known for its high standards of professionalism and service, with advisors averaging more than 25 years of experience. Through relationships with Equitable Advisors, LLC and Equitable Network, LLC, the team offers a broad range of securities, investment advisory products, annuities, and insurance solutions. Canopy Financial Group is not a registered investment advisor and is not owned or operated by Equitable Advisors or Equitable Network, but works within their framework to deliver compliant, client-focused guidance. Applicants can expect a culture that prioritizes integrity, regulatory compliance, and long-term client relationships.

Role Description

Canopy is offering a unique opportunity for an established Financial Advisor who wants to focus on enhancing the lives of a book of existing clients. Your time will be spent with existing clients instead of prospecting for new clients.

We are looking for a Financial Advisor to serve as the servicing advisor for a group of client households, providing ongoing financial planning, investment guidance, and strategic advice. This role is responsible for maintaining and deepening existing client relationships while helping clients navigate complex financial decisions across all stages of life.

Working closely with the firm’s lead advisor, the Financial Advisor leads client conversations, coordinates planning strategies, and ensures that each client receives clear, disciplined guidance aligned with their goals.

Success in this role requires strong collaboration with team members to deliver a seamless client experience. The Financial Advisor must maintain accurate and detailed records of client interactions, proactively identify opportunities and communicate recommendations to clients, follows through on action items, and consistently reflects Canopy's high standards of professionalism and client service.

Fingerprinting and comprehensive background checks are required.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary advisor for assigned client households, leading review meetings and maintaining consistent, proactive communication.
• Develop a deep understanding of each client’s goals, values, and financial priorities, building relationships grounded in trust and long-term partnership.

• Coordinate with internal team members to ensure a seamless and responsive client experience, including preparation for client meetings and timely follow-up on planning actions.
• Provide guidance across key planning areas including investment strategy, retirement planning, risk management, and cash flow planning.
• Analyze each client’s overall financial picture including assets, liabilities, and tax considerations—to develop integrated planning recommendations.
• Collaborate with clients’ external professionals, including CPAs and attorneys, when appropriate to ensure financial strategies are coordinated.

Qualifications

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in finance or business or equivalent relevant experience.

Experience

• Minimum of 5 years of experience as a financial advisor.
• Fingerprinting and comprehensive background checks are required to ensure our fiduciary responsibilities to our clients are upheld. Only applicants with clean or nearly clean records should apply.

Licensing

• Series 7 and Series 66 licenses required.
• Minnesota Life and Health Insurance License required, or ability to obtain within 6 months of hire.

Skills

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Intellectual curiosity and commitment to ongoing professional development.
• Ability to manage multiple client relationships with strong organization, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through.
• Experience using a CRM (e.g., RedTail, WealthBox, Salesforce) and financial planning systems (e.g., eMoney) to maintain organized client records, track planning activities, and support a high level of client service.
• Base salary range: $90K – 120K/yr (dependent upon experience).
• Performance-base pay potential: 50% of annual base salary.
• Simple IRA with company match.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• Opportunities for professional growth and advancement through mentoring and training programs to enhance skills and knowledge.

The role is ideal for individuals who want to build long-term client relationships by anticipating client needs, guiding individuals and families through important financial decisions, and providing clear financial advice that helps clients remain confident in their long-term strategy. EOE, M/F/D/V
