Job Description
Job Overview You'll be the technical engine behind a boutique family office serving founders through the sale of their businesses. While the lead advisor owns the client relationship, you'll own the problem-solving—building financial plans, managing portfolio execution, and running down solutions so nothing falls through the cracks. This isn't a traditional paraplanner role. You'll dig into complex planning situations, coordinate with bankers and attorneys, troubleshoot on behalf of clients, and bring solutions back to the table.

- Coordinate with CPAs, estate attorneys, bankers, and other professionals on client behalf
- Troubleshoot client needs and find solutions—financing, insurance, account issues—without being asked twice
- Prepare materials and analysis for client meetings
- Step into technical conversations with clients when needed What Exceptional Looks Like
- The lead advisor stops worrying about the details because you've already handled them
- Outside professionals enjoy working with you and respond quickly
- You bring solutions, not just problems
