Junior Financial Advisor

1 week ago

Kirkland, Washington, United States TalentLink Solutions Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Company Overview:

We are a successful and growing financial planning firm with a seasoned client base and strong reputation. We care for our clients deeply and primarily grow through referrals. We work with people encountering important and complex life transitions. These changing life circumstances often create anxiety and uncertainty–leaving many people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure about where to start. We offer caring and objective guidance while being aware of the unique feelings and emotions being experienced by the people who have engaged us. We are currently a team of 2 supporting nearly 200 households and $400M in AUM. We run lean through outsourcing so that our people are wholly focused on the client experience. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a Junior Financial Advisor to expand our team. We take the word "team" to a whole new level and collaborate to the fullest; very little happens within our client set that we don't all know about.

Position Overview/Summary:

The Junior Financial Advisor provides support to the advisory team, clients and overall firm. This is a unique role that is a blend of responsibilities, intended to relieve the Founder and client-facing team of some responsibilities, continue the proactive services that deepen our client relationships, and provide support to business functions that keep our business running. You will thrive on talking to people, be an active listener and a person that loves to see results accomplished and clients taken care of. You will be involved in coordinating various aspects of our clients' financial matters, ranging from investments, taxes, insurance, and trusts, through their financial plan. Acting as an extension of our advisory team, you will be responsible for data gathering and analysis, input into our financial planning software, complex case research and resolution, and reporting. You will work with our current and prospective clients proactively, you will be managing our COI network, as well as strategize and implement process and system efficiencies.

In addition to technical mastery, you are reliable, dependable, and highly loyal. Your resourcefulness and attention to detail are always accompanied by impeccable follow-through. You efficiently navigate and oversee tasks from initiation to completion, being a true project manager. You can work autonomously without the need for micro-management and hold yourself accountable for completing your responsibilities. You balance that with the ability to listen, be empathetic, and genuinely care for people. You bring a growth mindset and are consistently looking for ways to improve the mastery of your craft, including being coachable and mentored. Most importantly, you are energized by working within a team and have a passion for helping those around you.
