We believe that every dollar saved represents a lifetime of hard work and aspirations, and every dollar invested has a job to do for our clients. That's why we are committed to managing our clients' investments by truly understanding them as people first and then delivering advice, strategies and solutions to help them feel confident about the plans they are making, whether for today, tomorrow, or in the great unknown future. Our goal is to build long-term relationships based on respect, integrity, and a belief that our responsibility is to help people make smart investments decisions in every stage of their lives.
Our culture is grounded in our CORE values: Client First, One Team, Respectful Candor, and Endless Curiosity. These values guide everything we do, for our clients and each other.

In addition, you will engage in NO marketing activities. Your role will be to serve the client's best interests, providing outstanding financial advice to those who request it. You'll receive continuing advisor education on topics vital to our clients. You'll have a dedicated team of Client Service Managers and innovative retirement planning tools and software, to help you deliver the right advice to your clients. 

We are looking for an experienced Financial Advisor with a consistent track record of effectively serving clients and able to run a growing practice ultimately helping our clients achieve their financial goals.

Edelman Financial Engines takes a market-based approach to pay. The anticipated total target cash range for this role is $125,000 – $350,000, comprised of base salary and bonus. Your bonus potential is directly linked to your performance and success in growing sales and client relationships.
