Allworth Financial is seeking a high-performing, growth-oriented Senior Associate Advisor to step into a critical transitional role within our advisor career path. This role is designed as a bridge between Associate Advisor and Financial Advisor, providing the opportunity to take ownership of client relationships while continuing to develop the skills required to become a fully independent advisor.
Senior Associate Advisors are entrusted with a defined set of client relationships and are responsible for delivering high-quality, fiduciary financial planning and ongoing service. This role emphasizes relationship continuity, planning excellence, and client experience, while building readiness for full advisory responsibility.

This role is not intended as a long-term position. Designed for progression to Financial Advisor within ~12–18 months. Role placement is driven by business need, with positions aligned to market growth and advisor succession planning priorities. This role is a key step in developing future Financial Advisors at Allworth and plays an important part in maintaining strong client relationships across the firm.
