Join Us at 55ip & Help the Wealth Management Industry Move Forward

Working at 55ip means standing at the intersection of finance and technology—and at the cutting-edge of wealth management. We’ve been making rapid progress on our mission: to break down barriers to financial progress for financial advisors and their clients. Our Boston and Mumbai based teams have built and brought to market a tax-smart investment strategy engine delivering an intuitive experience and intelligent automation.
