CFP® Wealth Advisor – Boston
Tired of being measured on product instead of planning?
Boston's best clients (physicians, biotech and life-sciences executives, academics, attorneys, and multigenerational families) can tell the difference between a salesperson and a true planner. Our client, a nationally recognized and rapidly expanding wealth management firm, is adding planning-led advisors across Boston and New England, and it is built for CFP® professionals who want to lead with advice. Interest in these seats has been strong.
Your responsibilities:
- Deliver comprehensive financial plans covering cash flow, retirement, tax, education, insurance, and estate objectives.
- Advise physicians and biotech executives on practice income, deferred compensation, equity awards, and retirement plan design.
- Model scenarios in the firm's planning software and translate them into clear, prioritized action items.
- Implement investment recommendations through the firm's open-architecture platform, with an emphasis on tax efficiency.
- Partner with in-house tax, estate, and trust professionals on complex cases, including trust funding and gifting strategies.
- Grow through referrals from clients, attorneys, CPAs, and medical and academic networks.
- Mentor associate planners as your practice scales.
What you gain:
-
Your clients stay your clients, supported by national infrastructure.
-
Boston office or remote, from anywhere in the U.S.
-
A planning-first, fiduciary culture with advanced planning software.
-
Deep specialist bench in tax, estate, and trust.
-
Unbiased, open-architecture investments and institutional research.
-
Room to grow with associate planners and a deeper bench.
How you're paid:
- Fee-based, production-driven compensation with a transparent revenue share.
- For advisors bringing assets, transition terms reflect trailing-12 revenue and AUM moved.
- Planners without a portable book can be paired with existing firm relationships.
Qualifications:
- A minimum of seven years in financial planning or wealth management.
- CFP® strongly preferred; CIMA®, CPWA®, CFA, or CPA/PFS also valued.
- Ideally $40M+ in AUM or $300K+ in trailing revenue; all experienced planners considered.
- Series 65 or Series 7/66 preferred.
- Experience delivering comprehensive plans to HNW clients, ideally in medical, biotech, or academic communities.
