  • Provide expertise and support in all areas of client checklists, i.e., education planning, charitable giving, tax planning, executive compensation
  • Research various financial planning topics

Serve as an expert in financial planning topics as well as tools and software used by BSW’s Advisory Group.

  • Stay current on planning recommendations, laws, and regulations
  • Support BSW’s Advisory Group in navigating one-off questions as well as changes to planning recommendations or laws and regulations.

  • Contribute to blog posts on financial planning topics in collaboration with other members of BSW’s Financial Planning department and/or Advisory Group.
  • Contribute to annual projects and goals as defined by BSW’s Advisory Group or Financial Planning department.
