• Coordinate with investment, planning, and operations teams to execute recommendations and maintain client service standards.
• Document planning assumptions, risk profiles, and investment policy updates in line with firm procedures.
• Monitor client portfolios; identify rebalancing needs, tax-loss harvesting opportunities, and other portfolio-level adjustments.

Required Experience & Skills

• 5-10 years as a financial advisor or wealth planner working with HNW clients.
• Strong planning background; ability to lead client meetings without reliance on product scripts.
• Solid understanding of investment principles, capital-markets basics, and portfolio construction in a discretionary or advisory setting.
• Track record of retaining clients and cultivating new ones through trust-based relationships.
• CFP, CFA, or CTFA is a plus.
