A Day In The Life Of A Financial Advisor At A Wealth Management Company
A lead financial advisor's day involves prioritizing "time-sensitive" client requests, conducting "review meetings" and initial consultations, and handling post-meeting action items like reviewing estate plans and insurance policies. The advisor highlights the unbiased nature of their firm's recommendations as a key differentiator in the field, stating that "we're really structured in a way so that we can provide pretty unbiased recommendations."

2. Lead Financial Advisors conduct client review meetings and initial meetings with new clients.

What does a day in the life of a lead financial advisor really look like?
That's a good question. First, I check my emails and address the most time-sensitive things. This often includes client trades or urgent client concerns about their life or the market.
After that, I might have review meetings with existing clients or initial meetings with new ones. I also handle servicing issues.
For example, after every meeting, we identify action items. I might review a client's estate plan to see if it needs updating or provide recommendations. I also review insurance policies and give feedback.
I help clients look into different quotes for various things. My company doesn't actually sell insurance, which I really like. We're structured to provide unbiased recommendations.
That's something to look for if you're interested in this career, as not all firms operate that way. It's a lot of different things I can be doing for clients daily, which I really enjoy.
