Senior Wealth Advisor (Cleveland, OH)
Ready to Lead and Shape the Future of Wealth Management?
We’ve partnered with a highly respected wealth management firm both nationally and locally, deeply embedded in the community, to find a Senior Wealth Advisor to join their growing family office team. This isn’t just another wealth advisor role; it’s a unique opportunity to step into a leadership position with the potential to inherit a substantial book of business from day one. You’ll serve as the quarterback, leading the charge in managing complex wealth strategies for ultra-high-net-worth clients while being supported by a collaborative, expert team.
Why This Role Stands Out:
This opportunity offers more than just managing wealth—it’s about driving growth and delivering exceptional client experiences. You’ll have direct access to a portfolio of high-net-worth clients and be at the forefront of succession planning as senior advisors transition out. Supported by a deep bench of tax, legal, and investment professionals, you can focus on building relationships, expanding your expertise, and making a lasting impact.
Key Responsibilities:
- Act as the primary relationship manager for ultra-high-net-worth clients, providing tailored financial planning and wealth management strategies.
- Lead clients through complex planning, including estate, gift, and trust planning, while collaborating with their attorneys and other advisors to implement comprehensive solutions.
- Manage and nurture long-term client relationships, ensuring ongoing confidence and retention by meeting their financial goals.
- Provide expert guidance on areas such as retirement planning, insurance, business planning, education funding, and tax strategies.
- Collaborate with a team of professionals across investment management, tax, and financial planning to deliver holistic advice.
- Participate in building new client relationships and expanding the firm’s reach through strategic partnerships.
- Mentor and educate junior team members, sharing knowledge on complex financial planning topics, tax strategies, and client relationship development.
What We’re Looking For:
- 7-10+ years of experience in financial planning, accounting, legal, or related fields, with a proven track record in wealth management.
- Certified Financial Planner (CFP) required; Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is a plus.
- Expertise in complex planning strategies and solutions for high-net-worth individuals.
- Strong leadership skills, with the ability to mentor and collaborate within a team while driving results.
- Deep knowledge of investment products, macroeconomics, and tax strategies to meet client goals.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to simplify highly technical concepts for clients.
- A passion for delivering exceptional client experiences and growing a book of business.
Compensation & Benefits:
- Competitive base salary ($150,000 to $185,000) based on experience, with significant bonus potential.
- Target bonus up to 30% of base salary, with the flexibility to exceed target based on performance.
- Additional bonus for bringing in new clients (25% of first-year fees and 10% trailing fees).
- Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and more.
- Opportunities for growth and succession planning, with potential to inherit a substantial book of business as senior advisors retire.
