Job Summary

The Family Wealth Advisor is accountable for the overall client relationship, including ongoing advice, planning, and regulatory compliance. Importantly, many responsibilities that would typically fall to the advisor at other firms — including portfolio implementation, trading oversight, performance reporting, and day-to-day account administration — are supported by dedicated Portfolio Managers and Portfolio Administrators. This team-based structure significantly reduces administrative burden and non-revenue-generating tasks, allowing the Family Wealth Advisor to focus the majority of their time on client-facing activities, relationship development, and strategic wealth planning. The ideal candidate is highly client-centric, possesses excellent interpersonal skills, and can effectively prioritize and manage their time within a collaborative team environment.
