We serve financial advisors and investors through three entities, each headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska: Carson Wealth, Carson Coaching and Carson Partners. We provide coaching and partnership services to advisor firms – and straightforward financial advice to the investing public. We all share a common mission to be the most trusted in financial advice.

Evaluate strategic fit and rationale for potential deals. Conduct financial modeling and valuation analysis to support deal structuring. Support due diligence efforts, including business and financial assessments. Assist in developing deal structures, succession plans, and transition strategies.
Transaction Execution & Reporting: Prepare presentations and summary materials for acquisition proposals and term sheets. Support end-to-end transaction processes from initial analysis through execution. Coordinate with internal stakeholders to ensure alignment and progress on active deals.
Process & Pipeline Management: Develop and maintain internal tools and tracking systems for active, inactive, and closed deals. Monitor pipeline activity and provide updates to leadership. Identify opportunities to improve processes and increase efficiency in deal tracking and execution.
Relationship Management & Collaboration: Support the development and maintenance of relationships with external partners and stakeholders. Collaborate across teams to align priorities and advance strategic initiatives. Navigate ambiguous situations while balancing multiple stakeholder interests.
Other Duties: Perform additional tasks, duties, and responsibilities as needed or assigned by leadership to support departmental and organizational objectives.
What You Need
In exchange for your expertise, we offer a base salary, bonus potential, 401(k) plus matching, health benefits, and a great working environment. This is your chance to play a key role in the continued success of our company. Our culture is fast-paced, collaborative, innovative, and focused on healthy living.
