Job Description

Wealth Advisor

Department: Insurance & Financial Services

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: New York

Compensation: $90,000 - $350,000 / year

We partner with a curated network of RIAs, Independent Broker Dealers, Wirehouses, Regional Firms, Multi Family Offices, Trust Companies and Boutique Wealth Firms across the United States.

Our clients rely on us to identify Financial Advisors who fit their culture, planning philosophy and long-term client strategy.

We do not represent just one firm. We represent options. When you work with us, you are not applying to a single role. You are entering a vetted ecosystem of firms where we facilitate introductions and secure interviews.

Whether you want stronger payout, better platform support, succession planning, more autonomy or a planning-driven environment, we help you identify the best fit for your goals.

We are seeking experienced Financial Advisors who want to explore new opportunities without navigating the market alone. This role is ideal for advisors who want:

• A choice between multiple firm types
  
  
• A confidential and efficient way to explore opportunities
  
  
• Access to firms that do not publicly advertise openings
  
  
• A fast-tracked interview process with decision makers
  
  
• Guidance on compensation structures, transitions and platform differences
  
  

We support roles ranging from early career Financial Advisor to Senior Wealth Advisor, Private Wealth Director, RIA Lead Planner and Personal Trust Advisor.

Key Responsibilities

Responsibilities vary based on the firm and model selected. Common responsibilities include:

• Providing financial planning, investment advisory guidance and portfolio recommendations
  
  
• Managing client relationships, onboarding and ongoing service
  
  
• Building and maintaining a book of business within fee-based, advisory or hybrid models
  
  
• Collaborating with internal planning, investment and trust teams
  
  
• Developing new client relationships through referrals, COIs and inbound leads
  
  
• Meeting and upholding compliance and fiduciary standards
  
  
• Supporting or leading planning engagements with the firm’s planning tools and software
  
  
• Coordinating investment strategies with in-house or external investment teams
  
  

We place advisors in full-service environments with strong marketing support as well as entrepreneurial platforms that offer greater autonomy and higher payout options.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

Ideal candidates often bring the following background:

• Two to thirty or more years of advisory or wealth management experience
  
  
• Licenses such as Series 7, Series 65 or 66, CFP or CFA depending on the firm
  
  
• Transferable AUM preferred, although we also support non transferable advisors in trust and service roles
  
  
• Experience with planning, client management and long-term advisory relationships
  
  
• A preference for fee-only, fee-based, hybrid, W2 or 1099 models depending on the firm
  
  
• A client focused and planning focused mindset
  
  

If you are not certain which firm type is the best fit, we will walk you through the differences.

This is more than a single job posting. It is access to a full range of advisory opportunities.

By working with Stone Hendricks Group you receive:

• Multiple active opportunities through one confidential conversation
  
  
• Direct introductions and scheduled interviews with hiring managers
  
  
• Tools to evaluate payout grids, equity opportunities, platforms and compensation structures
  
  
• Support during compliance reviews and transition steps
  
  
• Guidance for advisors with transferable books, non transferable books and planning or trust backgrounds
