We are a growing practice and are looking for someone interested in growing with us. Although many of the tasks would be administrative at first, this is a salaried position with no sales requirements, unlike many other entry-level jobs in the personal finance industry. There is additional bonus potential for introducing new clients to the firm. The Client Service Specialist would gain practical experience in many areas of financial planning, and will benefit from our team approach as they transition to a financial advisor role in the future. We would expect that this individual will eventually take the coursework and exam for the CFP certification.

Position includes paid time off, health insurance, and retirement benefits.
