Job description

The Opportunity: We are searching for a full-time Financial Advisor. You will be joining our five-person team with two existing advisors, two administrators, and a marketing executive. We have a strong client base and a robust pipeline—we need an advisor with a team mentality who is motivated to provide top-tier client service while benefitting from a supportive team. You would be given annual performance reviews with the opportunity of competitive raises. Depending on contribution and performance you may have the opportunity to become a partner after 2-3 years on the team. Hours needed are 8:00am-5:00pm Monday-Friday. We are known for our impeccable face-to-face client service; therefore, this position is in-person without the option of remote work.

Our Company:

Vaught, Spangler & Associates, is a growing team of financial advisors in Chesterfield, VA. LPL Financial is one of the nation’s largest independent broker/dealers – giving us access to comprehensive compliance, risk management, and back-office support. We have implemented cutting edge technology to streamline the mundane, allowing us to focus on what truly matters. Our team works hard to provide exceptional service to our clients and takes time to connect with one another to strengthen our team’s culture.

Our Core Values:

Compassion, confidentiality, empathy, personal responsibility, and community engagement. We take great pride in our mission to help those who need it.

Qualifications:

Current Series 63, Series 7, and Series 65/66 licenses are required. At least one year of client service experience is required. LTC or Life/Health/Annuity licensing will make you a stronger candidate for our full-service firm.

Responsibilities:

• Meeting with and servicing our existing clients alongside another advisor
• Placing trades as directed
• Assisting with the financial planning process
• Using CRM software (Wealthbox)
• Using AI notetaking tools
• Handling client information in a confidential manner

A successful candidate should demonstrate:

• Compassion and empathy for your clients and their financial story
• Experience with the financial planning process
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to manage priorities and deadlines
• A strong work ethic built on a foundation of integrity and trust
• A willingness to learn and grow
• Relationship-driven team player
• Self-motivated with strong organizational skills
• Professional appearance
• Experience with Microsoft 365
• College degree preferred, but not required

Fingerprinting and background check is required for all LPL Financial employees

Our client events usually take place once a quarter in the evening hours. Locations vary across Chesterfield and Blackstone, VA. Your attendance at these events is expected in order to foster positive relationships and meet clients in a more casual setting.

What do we have to offer?

• Competitive annual salary
• Team approach (shared pool of clients)
• Possible ownership track (with tenure)
• Supportive, collaborative, and friendly work environment

Our clients come from every generation and are often referred by a friend or family member. From savvy investors with generational wealth, to middle class retirees looking to stretch their savings, we’re here to help them navigate every stage of life. Before the recommendations and plans are prepared, we listen intently to grasp each client’s unique situation. They may be in a vulnerable state due to loss, anxiety, difficult family relationships, etc. They look to us for guidance, education, and simplification. In turn, we treat clients with the utmost respect, provide timely customer service, and plan events that educate and celebrate their loyalty and friendship.

Job Type: Full-time

Bonus: Available based on company achievement
