Lead Financial Planner (CFP®) – Book Transition & Growth Role

• Wants to serve clients deeply, grow intentionally, and be rewarded fairly

You will operate with significant autonomy while being supported by systems, planning tools, and a firm culture built on trust and responsibility.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver holistic, values-based financial planning (cash flow, investments, risk management, tax awareness, and legacy planning)

• Manage and grow client assets withintegrity, discipline, and fiduciary care

• Act as a coach and guide, not just an advisor—educating clients so they make wise, confident decisions

• Collaborate on firm growth while maintaining ownership over your client relationships

• Help shape planning standards and client experience as the firm scales

• Comfort with modern planning tech and remote-first collaboration
