The Wealth Advisor position is a unique opportunity to collaborate with a growing team of experienced, innovative wealth advisors. Our goal is to deeply understand each client’s definition of financial well-being and work as a team to implement plans that achieve peace of mind. The advisor’s role is to be able to listen empathetically, obtain the knowledge to provide solutions, communicate solutions effectively and implement plans with the rest of the team to achieve the client’s desired outcomes. Solutions typically involve multiple areas of financial planning including – investments, estate, tax, and retirement planning. The advisor is not required to be an expert in each of these areas but needs to be able to both understand the recommendation and have the ability to communicate well with the experts, and most importantly, the client.
