Senior Wealth Manager - Bluerock Wealth Management

Your Future Team 
Bluerock Wealth Management is an established and successful financial advisory practice which is part of the larger Hightower network. Our practice is an ensemble, where team members collaborate as one on behalf of our clients. We believe our collaborative relationships and approach create results for every client we serve. 
  
Shunning the legacy “sales” driven model and culture that has dominated financial services in years past, we place the utmost emphasis on meeting our clients at all the ups and downs of life’s journey, by providing reliable, thoughtful, and straightforward advice. We deliver this advice by a purposeful construction of a well-diversified team, valuing diversity of backgrounds, and skills. It is through this ensemble approach we attempt to create ever increasing value to our clients. 
  
This is a fiduciary fee-only practice. Our comprehensive approach covers the full spectrum of wealth management, including investing, financial planning, and tax mitigation. We employ a holistic, data-driven and inclusive approach. Make a plan. Make an investment. Make a difference.   
  
We are looking for a Senior Wealth Advisor (SWM) to help bring our mission to life. The SWM is an important team member and directly delivers value to our clients. We care about finding great people, putting them in a role to accentuate their strengths, and charting a path together that supports your goals. By being flexible today and in the future, you don’t need to feel locked into a fixed path or role.
