About the role
Financial Advisor – Federal Retirement Planning | Charlotte, NC (Hybrid) Most advisors build a book from scratch. This role starts with an audience that already knows us, and with data that points you to the people most likely to be ready. We’re looking for an established financial advisor who excels at winning new client relationships and wants to level up. That means a warm audience, a marketing engine behind you, and targeting that tells you where to start each day.
The opportunity:
Targeting. Every lead is scored on engagement and self-reported wealth signals. You work from ranked leads and ranked former prospects, not a raw list. A warm federal audience. More than 10,000 current and former federal employees have opted in through our Well-Fed newsletter and 5-star rated book, and our FEDucated webinar series. The audience grows with every webinar. Advisory first. Lead with Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) and retirement-plan rollovers into advisory relationships, positioning insurance and annuities as the second step where appropriate. Support. Marketing and back office are handled, so your time goes to clients. The timing. More than 1 in 4 federal employees are 55 or older (OPM, 2024), the age when retirement and TSP decisions begin. About 317,000 left federal service in 2025 (OPM).

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.
