We're Growing. Want to Grow With Us?
Focused Wealth Advisors is an independent financial planning and wealth management firm with offices in Rochester and Buffalo, and we're at an exciting point in our growth. We're adding a Financial Paraplanner to our team — someone who wants to be part of building something, not just filling a seat.
The Role
This is a real position with real responsibility. You'll draft financial plans that our senior advisors refine and present to clients, own the follow-through from client meetings, and serve as a primary point of contact for clients with focused planning needs. You'll work across financial planning, investment research, and client service — which means no two days look exactly the same.
Specifically, you'll:
We use eMoney, Redtail, Holistiplan, YCharts, and the Dorsey Wright database. If you know these tools, you'll hit the ground running. If you know some of them, we can work with that.
The Opportunity
More importantly: this role has a career path. Paraplanners who build strong client relationships and develop their planning skills have a clear track toward an advisor role at FWA. We're not looking for someone to stay in a box — we're looking for someone who wants to grow with us.
What We're Looking For
A finance degree or CFP candidacy is a plus, but demonstrated competence and the right attitude matter more to us than a checklist.
How to Apply
Send your resume and a short note — tell us what draws you to independent advisory and why this role interests you to hhaff@focused-advisors.com . We review applications as they come in and will respond within a week.
