💰 Associate Advisor | $120K–$140K Stretch + DOE

🔥 Want to build a career as a Financial Planner without sacrificing your work-life balance?

I’m working on an opportunity with an established, fee-based wealth management firm serving high-net-worth clients with comprehensive investment management and financial planning services.

They’re looking for an Associate Advisor to work directly with Lead Advisors, gaining hands-on exposure to sophisticated financial planning while developing the skills to eventually manage client relationships independently.

This is an ideal opportunity for an early-career advisor who wants to deepen their expertise in tax, estate, retirement, and investment planning while following a clear path toward becoming a Lead Advisor.

💡 What You’ll Do

  • Support Lead Advisors in delivering comprehensive financial planning for high-net-worth clients

  • Prepare and update financial plans covering retirement, investments, taxes, and estate planning

  • Research planning strategies and prepare client meeting materials

  • Participate in client meetings and gain valuable relationship-management experience

  • Track follow-ups and ensure client action items are completed

  • Build your technical planning expertise and progress toward a future Financial Planner role

Requirements

🧠 Who They’re Looking For

  • 1–2 years of financial planning experience

  • CFP designation or coursework completed / nearing completion

  • Familiarity with financial planning software such as eMoney or MoneyGuidePro

  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills

  • A client-first mindset and genuine interest in comprehensive wealth planning

  • Someone motivated to learn, grow, and eventually step into a Lead Advisor role

🌟 Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • 💰 $120K–$140K stretch compensation, depending on experience

  • 🏡 Only one day in the office per week

  • 🎉 Family Fridays — finish work at 1 PM every Friday

  • 🏥 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision

  • 🌴 3 weeks of PTO + 40 hours of sick time

  • 🎄 The firm shuts down for Christmas week

  • 💼 401(k) match of up to $8,000 after one year

  • ✈️ After five years, earn 4 weeks of PTO and $5,000 toward a vacation

  • 📈 A clear growth path toward becoming a Lead Advisor

If you're an aspiring CFP or early-career advisor ready for your next move, let's connect!
