About the Role Were hiring an
Associate Financial Advisor
to immediately take over an existing group of client relationships at our Toledo-based RIA. This is not a sales role, and there are no prospecting or production quotas. Your focus is the creation and execution of financial advice and delivering a high-end client experience for clients already working with our firm.

Build and maintain financial plans using our established process and tools. Deliver clear, practical recommendations on retirement, investments, cash flow, tax-aware strategies, and basic estate structure. Translate recommendations into concrete action items and ensure execution (account changes, transfers, distributions, Roth conversions, beneficiary updates, etc.). Coordinate closely with our operations/meeting prep team to ensure every meeting is well-prepared and every follow-up is completed. Keep Salesforce fully updated with accurate notes, tasks, and client details
no loose ends or mental notes. Identify gaps or opportunities (idle cash, old accounts, missing documents, misaligned allocations) and proactively address them. Recognize when situations require advanced planning or complexity and escalate cleanly to senior advisors with a concise summary.
What You Bring 3+ years of experience
in a financial services role (RIA, bank, broker-dealer, or planning firm). Series 65 or similar license
(or ability to obtain in a clearly defined timeframe), CFP or professional designation heavily preferred. Solid working knowledge of IRAs/401(k)s, brokerage accounts, basic tax concepts, RMDs, Roth strategies, Social Security/Medicare timing, and risk management. Strong written and oral communication skills
you can explain complex topics in plain language, in writing and in meetings. Detail-oriented and organized, comfortable working in a CRM and following a task-based workflow. Comfortable owning relationships and being accountable for outcomes, while collaborating closely with senior advisors and operations.
