To be successful in this role the individual must be able to communicate planning concepts in a simple, non-technical way and must be comfortable working with individuals and families ranging from affluent to high- and ultra-high net worth. The successful individual should approach clients with a goal-oriented approach; to that end, the individual will need to learn about the various products and platforms (investment, insurance, charitable, educational) available to Private Client Advisors in order to help identify issues and opportunities to engage with clients.
