Wealth Management Consultation is an area within Wealth Management Advice and Solutions (WMAS) that serves as the planning and investment consultation group supporting the delivery of financial planning services and implementation through investment solutions. We collaborate across WMAS to deliver personalized advice with a particular focus on financial planning, portfolio construction, investment advice, and guidance on complex wealth management topics. The Client Consultation Group partners with branch teams to deliver a comprehensive review and analysis of client's financial planning needs and provides tailored financial strategies to help clients reach their goals.

What you Will Do: Wealth Strategists leverage the extensive resources of our home office to support our financial advisors in serving their clients with complex needs. This position plays a critical role in serving as the primary point of contact between the two groups. You will be called upon as a financial planning subject matter expert, on the firm's full suite of financial planning tools, investment offerings and how they're leveraged to help clients define their financial goals and identify solutions to keep them on-track. Additionally, you will apply knowledge of financial planning disciplines to unique client circumstances and work directly with branch teams and their clients. You'll be joining a team of high-energy associates, with tenure ranging from years to decades, dedicated to personal development, inclusion and diversity, and partnering with financial advisors as part of the client team.

Additional responsibilities include:
• Develop goals-based advice and strategies for clients with complex needs using a team approach.
