  • Build and leverage relationships with other areas of the company to address unique client circumstances in the high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth marketplace and ensure seamless delivery of planning presentation.


Qualifications

  • JD from an accredited program. Additional advanced degree preferred, such as CFP, CPA, or LL.M.
  • Minimum of 10 years of estate and business planning experience, preferably in a consulting role with clients and/or financial advisors.
  • Extensive experience working directly with high-net-worth clients in advanced estate and business planning, as well as tax planning.
  • Deep knowledge and expertise in planning areas including tax optimization, estate and business succession, and wealth transfer strategies.
  • Series 6 or 7 within the first 6 months of hire.
  • Strong analytical skills. Requires excellent follow-up, self-management of daily duties, and ability to collaborate with other professionals.
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complex concepts into client-friendly, understandable, and actionable advice.
  • Proven ability to develop trusting relationships with financial advisors and be a team player.
