Job Description

We are a successful, woman-owned wealth management firm focused on helping clients navigate complexities in life—financial or otherwise. We offer wealth management and financial planning services to a select group of clients in the high-net-worth space, with an emphasis on providing excellent service and having deep client relationships. Building the life you want is a journey, not a destination. It’s about taking small steps that lead to meaningful change.

We are a small and close team, with every role covering a wide range of functions, and you understand that being part of a small team means assisting in any way that moves the business forward, so you are always humble and willing to help in other areas.
