Wealth Advisor

The incoming advisor will inherit and manage these relationships while building a long-term practice through referrals and new business development.

• Coordinate with the firm's planning, research, investment, trading, and client service professionals.
• Identify opportunities to deepen existing client relationships.
• Generate referrals and develop new client relationships over time.
• Collaborate with senior advisors during the handoff and transition of client relationships.
• Deliver a highly personalized client experience while maintaining the firm's planning-focused approach.

• Demonstrated ability to independently manage affluent and high-net-worth client relationships.
• Strong financial planning and relationship management background.
• Comfortable presenting recommendations and leading client meetings.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the desire to eventually originate new business.
• CFP designation required.
• Series 7/65/66 or comparable licensing preferred.
