Financial Advisor

We are an independently owned and operated, fee-only financial advisory firm headquartered in White Plains, NY. Founded in 1993, the founder has had the privilege of helping clients navigate the journey of retirement for more than 30 years. With approximately $100M in assets under management (AUM) and 65 active households, he is looking for a Financial Advisor to expand the firm's reach to the next generation and help deepen current client relationships. The founder's mission is to deliver impactful retirement transition planning, personalized financial advice, and investment management services with thoughtful coordination of 401(k) and pension plans. We take pride in an investment philosophy that blends evidence-based equity strategies, thoughtful fixed-income management, and innovative annuity solutions to create lasting financial security. Our founder has developed a proprietary retirement income projection tool that brings it all together, helping clients see and plan for their full retirement picture.

The Financial Advisor will play a pivotal role in ensuring the firm's continued growth while supporting the founder and clients. This is the firm's first advisory hire beyond the founder, a rare opportunity to work closely with and learn directly from a well-seasoned advisor. Initially, you'll focus on understanding the "what's" and "why's" of our business, our philosophies, processes, and unique approach to serving clients. From there, you'll transition into developing new assets under management through your own efforts by leveraging warm leads and untapped marketing channels. After which, while continuing to pursue AUM growth, you may advance to supervised management of a set of existing client relationships while also identifying and helping implement ideas to streamline and modernize current processes. You'll also provide supplemental advisory support to the founder's clients, helping to further deepen and expand those relationships. Your core responsibilities will be to cultivate organic AUM, oversee discovery and onboarding processes, prepare for and participate in client meetings, and manage client expectations and deliverables. You'll assist with preparing financial plans, developing investment recommendations, and researching technical questions, all while collaborating closely with the founder to deliver exceptional client outcomes. You pay great attention to detail and are an extraordinary communicator. You want to be a master of your craft, and you are the type of person who is always looking to better yourself. The successful candidate will bring enthusiasm, intellectual curiosity, and a deep commitment to serving clients.
