Financial Services Associate

Who We Are

In an increasingly complex world where people are starving for someone they can trust, we stand for something simple: always put the client first. We do well by doing good for those we serve. It’s the ultimate measure. We believe in providing value beyond a doubt and in the notion that time will either expose you or promote you, based on your willingness to embrace change.

We serve financial advisors and investors through three entities, each headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska: Carson Wealth, Carson Coaching and Carson Partners. We provide coaching and partnership services to advisor firms – and straightforward financial advice to the investing public. We all share a common mission to be the most trusted in financial advice.

Who We Want

A Financial Service Associate is a critical component in helping our company provide services to clients. This may occur through direct communications with clients or in assisting a Lead Planner in the preparation and delivery of services. An associate must be knowledgeable about a client’s situation and how our services, strategies, and the fit of different financial instruments help a client; and he must be able to explain to a prospect or client how all fits together.

An Associate must also be comfortable in communicating with clients for the capture of information, scheduling of appointments, follow-up from meetings, and have a desire to actively participate in the management of client affairs.

In addition, they should be aware of situations when we might be able to help another prospect. Then they must learn how to comfortably introduce themselves and our company’s skillset to form a new relationship.

Aggressively pursuing this job performance will result in additional compensation and advancement within the business.
