Job Description

Company Overview

We are an independent, fee-based investment advisory firm located in Worcester, MA. We specialize in active management and capital preservation, managing approximately $650 million for high-net-worth individuals, families, and institutions. We’re not your ordinary firm. What sets us apart is our commitment to delivering honest, no-nonsense financial advice that empowers clients to protect and grow their wealth in a rapidly changing economic landscape. We challenge conventional financial systems, prioritize transparency, and reduce our clients’ fear and anxiety by incorporating financial therapy–like principles focused on safety, security, and growth. We have a top decile growth trajectory and a national client base that’s not limited by our geography. You’ll be joining a close-knit, mission-driven team that takes pride in doing meaningful work and showing up for each other. We foster a culture where your contributions matter, your ideas are valued, and your work directly supports the success of our clients and our team.

Role Overview

Our advisory team is growing, and we are seeking a dedicated Financial Advisor to support our lead advisors, manage client relationships, and provide tailored financial planning and investment solutions.

You will support the discovery and onboarding process with prospective and new clients, prepare for and participate in client meetings, provide clear, actionable advice in line with our firm’s mission, follow up on any action items, and take ownership to manage client expectations and deliverables. You are the opposite of a traditional advisor, have enough experience in front of clients that you are confident in almost any scenario, and are excited about advancing your career in a growing, forward-thinking firm.
