Our Firm

We are a financial planning firm built around the deep relationships we have with our nearly 200 clients. We do comprehensive financial planning, initially and ongoing, as well as asset management. But our clients know us best because of the support we give them when something happens in their life; changing jobs, buying a car, or if something happens to their loved ones. Our team has been together for years and we function as one unit, fully supporting each other and our clients cohesively. We believe our dynamic is the secret sauce because it’s seamless for clients. Where one team member has a gap, their partner fills in. It’s unique in many ways, even in the fact that we all sit side by side in one room together, when in the office. We know each other’s strengths and weaknesses, which helps us to define the person we need in this next hire.

 

The Role

We are currently seeking an experienced Financial Planner, with a strong background in planning and relationship management.

We need you to have enough experience in front of clients that you are comfortable and confident in almost any scenario. You are an extraordinary communicator and calm under pressure. You have a high degree of empathy and people trust you easily because you are genuine. You complement your people skills with an ability to track details and remember things, so nothing gets lost.
