Financial Planner

Your career is an investment that grows over time!

Wealthsimple is on a mission to help everyone achieve financial freedom by reimagining what it means to manage your money. Using smart technology we take financial services that are often confusing opaque and expensive and make them transparent and low-cost for everyone. We’re the largest fintech company in Canada with over 3 million users who trust us with more than $30 billion in assets.

Our teams ship often and make an impact with groundbreaking ideas. We're looking for talented people who keep it simple and value collaboration and humility as we continue to create inclusive and high-performing teams where people can be inspired to do their best work.

About the role

As a Financial Planner you will be responsible for supporting our Premium and Generation clients with their financial planning needs.

Role responsibilities:

• Always put the client first.

• Work with 40+ clients a week helping them plan and make the right financial decisions.

• Deliver high quality fiduciary financial planning advice at scale.

• Maintain strong follow up so clients can actually experience the benefits of financial planning.

• Help clients consolidate their assets at Wealthsimple through impactful advice.

• Be on the front lines talking to prospective and current clients getting them excited about our products and services.

• Communicate most of the time via phone and video with clients (superb phone skills are a requirement).

• Work cross functionally to bring financial planning advice into our products and communications.

Skills you bring:

• Must have a CFP or IQFP designation to be considered for the role.

• Experienced in financial planning for clients with corporations.

• At least 4 years experience in a similar role.

• Focused on client relationships (you love giving advice!).

• Growth mindset implements feedback effectively.

• Great team player (collaboration is key).

• Self starter who can identify and own their own targets.

Nice to haves:

• Bilingual in French and English strongly preferred.

• Additional designations such as TEP are an asset.

Application deadline: Friday April 12th 2024.
