  • Enhance brand awareness and reputation to attract clients and talent.
  • Build scalable referral programs and COI programs to fuel growth.
  • Partner with our Chief Practice Officer to enhance client acquisition and retention efforts.
• Inorganic Growth (Mergers & Recruiting)
  • Partner with our Chief People Officer to design and execute our lift‑in (single advisor) recruiting strategy to attract top‑tier talent aligned with our culture and ownership model.
  • Partner with our CEO to source and negotiate mergers, guide deal execution with an emphasis on culture, and talent acquisition.
  • Develop and maintain relationships with potential partners, COIs, and industry leaders.
• Strategic Leadership & Collaboration
  • Serve on the Executive Committee, contributing to firm‑wide strategy and resource allocation.
  • Direct a team of marketing and business development professionals.

• Entrepreneurial mindset balanced with fiduciary discipline.
• Collaborative and culturally sensitive; able to align with and embrace firm's mission and values.
• Strategic thinking with a focus on execution.
• Excited to accelerate growth within our model, not to redefine it.

Who Thrives Here

An ideal candidate will be motivated by our mission to empower families to take control of their financial lives, live their values with clarity and peace of mind, and actualize their dreams. We seek out a wide range of talented team members who share our values and vision. We value intellectual honesty, collaboration, and compassion. A strategic partner once called us “a cocker spaniel”: professional, loyal, warm, and relentlessly devoted. We like that.

Physical Demands and Work Environment:

Primarily sedentary work in an office with minimal distractions; walking throughout the office. Learn and memorize tasks; execute tasks independently; apply knowledge and use judgment to manage situations. Occasionally exert up to 10 pounds of force to lift, carry, push, pull or otherwise move objects.
