Financial Advisors Plus was founded on a hunch that general could be far less awful, and Chicago turned out to be the perfect place to prove it. Honest feedback is a gift here, and we try to wrap it kindly before we hand it over.

The number is $108,000 - $163,000; the rest is mentorship, health coverage, paid growth time, and a contract arrangement that respects your evenings.

The search is live, the seat is funded, and we are interviewing this week.

If steady contract work with real stakes appeals to you, the Senior Operations Manager chair is waiting.
