Job Description

Paraplanner

Location: Newtown, PA

Salary: $90,000 to $105,000 (based on experience)

Status: Full time, In office

As a financial firm founded on the golden rule, we are committed to caring for our clients the way we would want to be cared for ourselves. We take pride in getting to know each client as a person, not a portfolio balance, and we tailor their investments to who they are and what they

want to achieve. Our big picture approach to comprehensive planning brings clients the most value, and our unbiased perspective helps us spot the parts of a plan that need a closer look.

We simplify financial planning through education and communication, so clients feel confident in their decisions and have more time for what matters most to them. Our team is friendly, down-to-earth, and good at listening. Our mission is to educate, counsel, and guide clients

through life’s financial challenges, efficiently and with full transparency.

This individual will support our advisors by creating and updating financial plans, pulling reports, preparing for meetings and client intake, and following up with clients. Success at six months means fully carrying out the role and taking pressure off our advisors, ensuring efficiency and staying proactive behind the scenes.
