About the role

Acorn Financial Services manages over $1.4B in assets by acting as a single, proactive fiduciary team. Your mission as a Principal Wealth Advisor is to act as the overarching financial quarterback for multi-generational families and business owners. You will fuse investment portfolio management with in-house tax and estate planning to protect your clients' life work and execute unified, outcome-driven wealth strategies.
Who You Are: You value people over hype: You know real businesses aren't built on trends; they are built on trust. You invest deeply in client relationships and lead with integrity. You thrive in disciplined execution: Big ideas matter, but execution wins. You bring intense focus and structure to complex portfolio management and business succession planning. You possess unimpeachable character: You are a true fiduciary. Your thoughts, words, and actions are always aligned with the best interests of your clients and the overarching mission of the firm. You grow through feedback and challenge: You constantly seek to sharpen your advanced planning acumen by leveraging the specialized knowledge of the firm's in-house CPAs and attorneys.
What You Will Do: Design and execute bespoke investment architectures that strictly adhere to the client's individualized risk tolerance and multi-generational objectives. Proactively identify structural gaps in a client's financial life and bring in Acorn's legal and tax specialists to seamlessly close them. Guide enterprise owners from peak accumulation through complex pre-sale structuring to their post-liquidity "second act". Transfer and aggressively scale an existing book of high-net-worth business using Acorn's content-driven acquisition strategies and integrated service models. How We Measure Success Successfully integrate and grow a UHNW book of business Successfully integrate 85%+ of your managed client base into Acorn's in-house tax and trust services within the first 24 months. Maintain exceptional net promoter scores and a client retention rate exceeding 98% through hyper-personalized, fiduciary stewardship.
What We Offer: We provide a world-class growth infrastructure. Instead of competing with outside CPAs and attorneys, you will have them down the hall, empowering you to offer an unmatched, holistic value proposition that easily wins and retains $15M–$50M+ client accounts.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
