We’re growing and looking to add to our fantastic team in East Amherst. We’ve got an awesome group of dedicated employees and even better clients, so it’s important that we find the best of the best. If you think you have what it takes to join one of the best places to work in WNY,* then read on!
Our Financial Planning Interns provide valuable assistance to our advisory team in the areas of financial planning, investment management, proposal research, client interaction and special projects, all while developing the skills and training necessary to become a Certified Financial Planner™ Professional. In other words – if you want to become an advisor someday, an internship with our firm is a great place to start.
And here’s the cool part. We’re not going to ask you to sell a bunch of products to your friends, family, neighbors or Instagram followers! We’re a fee-only shop – and that means we don’t sell stuff! We spend a ton of money getting our message out to those that need us and match them up with our highly-qualified advisors and planning associates to give them the absolutely best possible client experience.
Interested? Here’s some things you’ll need to qualify.
The Really Important Stuff:
• A mature, positive, friendly, outgoing personality. Be nice, it counts!
• A willingness to help others; clients, employees……. anyone!
• Empathy – and lots of it!
• A thirst to learn, improve, rinse and repeat.
• Excellent organizational skills; ability to multi-task. You’ll be busy; but the work is extremely gratifying!
The Technical Stuff:
• Current enrollment in an accredited college financial planning program with an expected completion date in the next 12 months.
• Proficiency and comfort with technology, including MS Office and CRM software.
• The ability to type. We work on computers so efficiency counts!
• Nice to Have: Familiarity with financial planning software and rebalancing technology.
So what about us? What do we bring to the table?
First – we treat our employees with respect. If you join us, you’re in the family. It’s a tight-knit group, and we think it’s the best you’ll probably find anywhere around. That starts with respect and treating people the right way.
Also, as an intern, you won’t be grabbing the boss coffee or making copies all day long! You’ll be working hard and making a difference in our clients lives! This is a learning position with the hopes of becoming a full-time employee after completion of the internship.
We offer all the regular stuff too: This is a paid position including a competitive salary, quarterly achievement-based bonuses, and generous paid time off. If you are hired as a full-time employee after your internship, we also offer a 401K with match, along with excellent medical, dental and vision benefits. We even offer a paid volunteerism program that pays you to go help other people!
More importantly we offer this: A path to reach your full potential, whatever that path is for you! Want to become a partner some day? We’ve got a path for that. Comfortable staying where you are – works for us too. We think that happy, motivated employees lead to success for everyone.
