Summit Wealth Group

About Summit Wealth Group

Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Summit Wealth Group is an independent, fee-based wealth management firm with 11 branch offices across five states. Our Lakewood office has served the Denver Metro area since 2009 and is led by Senior Financial Advisor and VP Josh Jerele, CFP®, recently recognized on Forbes' Top Next-Gen Wealth Advisors list.

We take a planning-first approach to wealth management and believe great client relationships are built through trust, accountability, and thoughtful advice. Internally, we refer to our team as the "Summit Family," reflecting our commitment to supporting one another, taking ownership, and building long-term success for our clients and employees alike.

The Role

This role is built around relationships, not prospecting. You'll work directly with an established group of clients, lead review meetings, deliver financial planning recommendations, and serve as a trusted resource as clients navigate important financial decisions.

You’ll have the opportunity to deepen client relationships, support multi-generational planning, and help clients bring more of their financial lives under one roof. Working alongside an experienced team, you’ll take ownership of client relationships while helping deliver an exceptional planning and service experience.

Success in this role is measured by the quality of your client relationships, planning outcomes, service excellence, and contribution to the team.

For advisors looking to grow their careers, Summit offers a clear path to Lead Advisor, Senior Advisor, and future leadership opportunities. As your responsibilities and impact grow, you may become eligible for additional compensation opportunities, including revenue sharing, profit-sharing bonuses, and participation in the firm's Profit Interest Plan.

• Maintain accurate client records and planning recommendations.

Operational Leadership

• Work closely with advisors, compliance, and operations teams to deliver high-quality client experience.
• Delegate and oversee administrative workflows as experience and tenure grow.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to support team members.
• Take on increasing responsibility for client relationships, team development, and office operations as part of your career progression.
