Our Investment in You

We support our advisors with meaningful opportunities and resources, including:

·         A three-person office. You, an Analyst, and a Client Relationship Manager, so that proposal work, client servicing, paperwork, cashiering and scheduling are handled around you.

·         Firm-supplied lead flow. Four proven growth strategies, funded and operated by the firm, rather than a cold-calling list.

·         A structured first year. Month one covers our platform, technology, process and compliance. The growth strategies then come online one at a time, so you are never asked to learn everything at once.

·         Soltis University. Our internal learning platform, with continuing education and ongoing training throughout your career here.

·         Office space provided. Your office opens in a professional executive suite and converts to permanent space as the market grows.

·         Home-office support. The investment management, financial planning, operations, compliance and marketing resources of a $14 billion firm.

·         Mentorship and career development support.

·         A flexible, collaborative work culture.

·         A commitment to supporting work-life balance.

Compensation and Benefits

We pay a base salary while you build, and you move to uncapped variable compensation as your practice grows. There is no ceiling on what you can earn.

·         Base salary: A competitive base salary, paid from your first day.

·         Variable compensation: A share of the gross revenue your client relationships produce.

·         Total compensation: Competitive with market rates and market expectations for the role and your market.

Full compensation details are discussed during the interview process and set out in the offer letter.
