Wealth Advisor
Job Description:
Wealth Advisor
Dallas, TX | Boutique Wealth Management | $200K+ First-Year Earning Potential
The Opportunity
Our client, a growing boutique wealth management firm in Dallas, is seeking a polished, ambitious, and relationship-driven Wealth Advisor to join its advisory team.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced advisor who has built a strong foundation in wealth management and is ready for more ownership, autonomy, and long-term growth.
Working directly alongside the firm's founder, you'll play an integral role in managing established high-net-worth client relationships, leading conversations with prospective clients, and helping drive the firm's continued expansion.
While you'll initially partner closely with the founder, this is not intended to be a long-term support position. The vision is for you to transition into a Lead Advisor role, independently managing and growing your own dedicated book of clients within the firm.
It's an opportunity to combine the entrepreneurial upside of building a book with the stability, resources, and support of an established wealth management platform.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
A Genuine Path to Leadership: Grow into a Lead Advisor role with increasing responsibility for client relationships, business development, and eventually your own advisory pod.
Established Relationships & New Business Opportunities: Work with existing high-net-worth clients while taking an active role in incoming prospect conversations. You're not starting from scratch.
Direct Access to the Founder: Collaborate closely with an established advisor, gaining insight into sophisticated client relationships, growth strategy, and firm leadership.
Meaningful Long-Term Earning Potential: Benefit from a competitive first-year compensation package followed by increasing revenue participation as your dedicated book grows.
Boutique Culture & High-Touch Service: Join a relationship-focused environment where quality advice, exceptional client experiences, and long-term relationships come first.
What You'll Be Doing
Client Relationship Management & Advisory
Partner directly with the founder to advise, manage, and deepen relationships with high-net-worth individuals and families.
Take an increasingly active role in client meetings, financial strategy discussions, and ongoing relationship management.
Develop the trust and confidence necessary to eventually serve as the primary advisor for your own book of clients.
Deliver a proactive, highly personalized client experience with exceptional responsiveness and attention to detail.
Comprehensive Financial Planning
Develop and present sophisticated financial plans spanning retirement, investments, tax optimization, estate planning, and wealth transfer.
Leverage eMoney and Holistiplan to deliver thoughtful, actionable planning recommendations.
Collaborate on portfolio strategy, investment implementation, and ongoing client planning needs.
Translate complex financial strategies into clear, compelling guidance that resonates with clients.
Business Development & Growth
Participate in and progressively lead introductory calls and discovery meetings with prospective clients.
Build rapport, identify planning opportunities, and help convert qualified prospects into long-term advisory relationships.
Cultivate referrals and identify opportunities to deepen existing relationships.
Gradually build and lead a dedicated client book while contributing to the firm's continued growth.
What We're Looking For
Experience & Credentials
5+ years of experience in a client-facing wealth management or financial advisory role, preferably serving high-net-worth clients.
CFP® designation required.
Active Series 7 and 66 licenses required.
Bachelor's degree required.
Strong financial planning expertise and proficiency with eMoney and Holistiplan.
Experience working within the LPL Financial platform is strongly preferred.
The Right Fit
Beyond technical qualifications, we're looking for someone who brings the confidence, ambition, and relationship skills to become a future leader within the firm.
Polished & Credible: You have strong executive presence and can confidently lead conversations with sophisticated clients.
Naturally Relationship-Driven: You build trust quickly, communicate effectively, and genuinely enjoy developing meaningful client relationships.
Entrepreneurial & Growth-Minded: You're energized by new business opportunities and motivated to grow your own book.
Proactive & Accountable: You take ownership, anticipate client needs, and consistently follow through.
Leadership Potential: You're collaborative, eager to learn, and ultimately want to lead client relationships rather than support them indefinitely.
Compensation & Long-Term Opportunity
This position offers a compensation structure designed to provide strong initial earning potential while rewarding long-term growth and client relationship development.
Up to $200K in target first-year total compensation, with additional performance-based upside.
Competitive base salary and performance-based bonus during the initial year.
Progressive revenue participation beginning in Year 2, with opportunities to earn 10–20% of attributable revenue in Year 2 and 20–30% in Year 3 and beyond, depending on client relationships and business development contributions.
Increasing recurring income potential as you build and manage your own dedicated client book.
Long-term advancement into a Lead Advisor position with greater autonomy and leadership responsibility.
Health insurance and retirement plan.
Your Next Career Move
If you're an accomplished Wealth Advisor who enjoys serving sophisticated clients, has a natural ability to build relationships, and is ready for a meaningful path toward greater leadership and financial upside, we'd welcome a conversation.
This is an opportunity to build something of your own while benefiting from the foundation of an established, growing firm.
