Job Description
We generate the clients. You advise them. No cold calling. No seminars. No prospecting quotas. No product sales. No book you have to bring with you. Covenant Wealth Advisors invests heavily in marketing and referral relationships, and qualified families with $1 million to $10 million+ in investable assets are booked directly onto your calendar. Your job is to meet them, decide together whether we're a fit, and then be their advisor for the next twenty years. If you're a CFP® who is genuinely good at planning and tired of being measured on how much business you drag in the door, this is the seat. About us Founded in 2010. Fee-only, fiduciary, independent. $1.05 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2026 , serving 575+ client households across Virginia and the United States from offices in Richmond (primary), Reston, and Williamsburg.
We do one thing:
help people age 50 and older plan for and enjoy retirement, by integrating retirement income planning, tax planning, and investment management into a single coordinated strategy. Seven CFP® professionals, a CPA on staff, associate advisors, and a dedicated operations team. What you'll do Serve as the primary advisor for your client families — retirement income planning, Roth conversion analysis, Social Security timing, tax optimization, investment management, and estate coordination. Meet with pre-qualified prospects who come to us through our marketing and referral network, learn what they're trying to accomplish, and determine whether we're right for each other. Partner with our in-house CPA, EA, associate advisors, and paraplanners on complex situations — you are not doing this alone, and you are not building plans at 9 p.m. Contribute to how we do the work: better processes, better client experience, better outcomes.Your tools:

Compensation Base salary:
$110,000 to $167,500 , depending on experience and the amount of revenue you may currently manage.Bonus:
Quarterly revenue-sharing bonus tied to firm growth, generally 10% to 15% of base salary. 401(k) with 4% employer match. Future qualification for our unit appreciation plan where you benefit from the growth of the company Health, Vision, and Dental insurance Paid parental and maternity leave; dependent care FSA. Generous PTO. Professional development budget and ongoing training. Charitable gift matching.Hybrid schedule:
four days in the Richmond office, one day remote. Who does well here People who find the planning work itself interesting — the tax return, the withdrawal sequence, the survivor scenario. People who want a full career of client relationships, not a full career of business development. People who take real time off. We mean it; our second core value is "Enjoy Life and Family." Who doesn't: advisors whose primary motivation is maximizing personal production, and advisors who want to sell products. Neither is available here. Our values Integrity- Enjoy Life and Family
