  • Act as a trusted advisor for clients, offering guidance on tax-efficient investment management strategies, retirement planning, estate planning, insurance solutions and charitable giving.
  • Develop and present customized, sophisticated financial plans for ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families, ensuring that all aspects of their financial lives are considered and optimized.


Portfolio Management & Performance Review:

  • Manage and oversee complex client portfolios, ensuring alignment with clients’ long-term financial goals, risk profiles, and evolving life circumstances.
  • Conduct regular portfolio reviews with clients, providing updates on investment performance, market trends, and any necessary adjustments to their financial strategies.
  • Proactively assess clients' financial plans and make strategic adjustments in response to economic shifts or personal life changes.


Client Relationship Development & Retention:

  • Foster deep, long-term relationships with clients, serving as their main point of contact for all financial planning needs.
  • Maintain continuous, proactive communication with clients to ensure they are informed and confident in their financial strategies, while also identifying new opportunities for improvement.
  • Expand the client base by acquiring new high-net-worth clients through referrals, networking, and cultivating professional partnerships.


Leadership & Mentorship:

  • Provide leadership and mentorship to junior advisors and support staff, offering guidance on complex client cases and helping them develop their professional skills.
  • Act as a subject matter expert for the firm, collaborating with colleagues to ensure the highest standards of service and advice are delivered across all client interactions.
  • Play an integral role in firm-wide business development initiatives, contributing to strategic planning and long-term growth objectives.


Compliance & Industry Knowledge:

  • Stay current with the latest financial market trends, legislation, and industry developments to ensure clients’ financial strategies are compliant, effective, and take advantage of new opportunities.
  • Ensure all recommendations and financial plans adhere to fiduciary principles and meet regulatory requirements.
  • Utilize advanced financial planning software (e.g., eMoney) to support accurate and robust financial strategies.


Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience as a Financial Advisor, with at least 3+ years of direct experience managing high-net-worth client relationships.
  • Proven track record managing large portfolios and overseeing AUM of $5+ million per client.
  • CFP designation required; advanced certifications (CFA, CPA, ChFC) preferred.
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or a related field; MBA preferred from an accredited college or university.
  • Expertise in investment management, tax planning, estate planning, and financial strategies for ultra-high-net-worth individuals.
  • Proficiency in financial planning software, such as eMoney.
  • Exceptional leadership, communication, and relationship-building skills.
  • Highly organized, with strong analytical and decision-making abilities.


Benefits:

  • We offer a competitive compensation package, including base salary, performance-based bonuses, and equity opportunities.
  • Comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off.
  • Opportunities for professional development and career advancement within a dynamic and growing organization.
