Tax Planner

About RWM

Ritholtz Wealth Management is an RIA headquartered in New York City, with clients and employees nationwide. We've built something genuinely different in the wealth management space, a firm that combines institutional-grade investment management with an authentic media presence, a thriving community, and a culture people actually want to be part of.

Our tax practice is fully integrated into our wealth management offering, meaning our tax planners work hand-in-hand with advisors to deliver cohesive, proactive financial strategies, not just annual returns. As our client base continues to grow, we're adding an experienced Tax Planner to the team.
