JKS Financial is a comprehensive financial planning and wealth management practice, serving closely-held business owners, high-income professionals, and high-net-worth retirees throughout the Pittsburgh region. Our team of advisors and operations professionals is built around one standard: every client relationship gets the same disciplined planning process and the same level of attention, whether the client has been with us twenty years or twenty days.
We're hiring a Senior Associate Wealth Management Advisor to own the day-to-day relationship with an established book of clients meeting with them regularly, reviewing and updating their financial plans, and keeping them on track toward their goals. You'll also partner directly with our Lead Advisors on new business: building the analysis and the plan that turns a prospect meeting into a client relationship. It's a role built for someone who wants full ownership of client outcomes without having to build a book from a cold start.

• Manage client onboarding, account transfers, and 401(k) rollovers from start to finish
• Oversee investment portfolio management and trade execution for your client relationships
• Respond quickly and thoroughly to client questions, keeping the relationship warm between formal reviews
New Business & Planning Support • Work alongside Lead Advisors to prepare the financial analysis and proposals that win new client relationships
• Build comprehensive financial plans retirement, insurance, investment, and cash-flow strategy that Lead Advisors present to prospects
• Prepare case materials and illustrations that make a complex recommendation easy for a client to say yes to
Practice Management • Maintain accurate, complete client records in our CRM and planning software
• Help uphold the workflows, policies, and compliance standards that keep the practice running smoothly and audit-ready
Requirements: • Series 7 & 66 (or Series 65) required
• Life, Accident & Health license preferred, or obtained within 60 days of start.
• Prior experience as an associate financial advisor or in wealth management operations preferred
• A genuine desire to own outcomes self-directed, resourceful, and comfortable taking initiative within an established plan
• Strong financial analysis and critical-thinking skills, with the judgment to spot a problem and propose a solution
• Clear, persuasive written and verbal communication you can explain a complex recommendation simply
• Comfortable juggling multiple client relationships and deadlines without losing precision
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and the ability to quickly pick up CRM and financial planning software (we currently use Box.com and industry-standard planning tools)
• A team-first approach you'll be in daily contact with Lead Advisors and operations staff
