Internal Investment Advisor/Investment Advisor Representative (Iar)

United Advisors America | Prosper, Texas | Full-Time | In-Person 

Compensation: $75,000–$100,000+ annually, based on experience and qualifications 

Be an Advisor — Without Having to Be a Prospector 

United Advisors America is a growing SEC-registered investment adviser headquartered in Prosper, Texas. We are seeking an experienced, personable Investment Advisor Representative to join our internal advisory team. 

This is not a traditional financial advisor position. You will not be expected to cold call, purchase leads, build a prospecting pipeline, or develop your own book of business. 

Instead, you'll work with established clients and alongside our network of external advisors through United Advisors America's Co-Advisor Program. 

Our external advisors focus primarily on developing new client relationships and bringing new clients and assets to the firm. In your role as an internal advisor, you will be supporting those relationships by managing the ongoing investment and service needs of clients — allowing our external advisors to devote more of their time to growing the business. 

If you enjoy investments, working with clients, and solving financial problems but would rather spend your time advising and servicing relationships instead of searching for them, this may be an excellent fit. 

What You'll Do 

As an Internal Investment Advisor, you will work directly with clients and external advisors to: 

• Assist with establishing new accounts, documentation, and asset transfers 

• Help facilitate the timely transfer and investment of new client assets 

• Handle ongoing account needs, including deposits, withdrawals, and distributions 

• Monitor and rebalance client portfolios 

• Conduct annual client reviews and participate in other client meetings 

• Respond to day-to-day client questions and service needs 

• Develop investment proposals and portfolio recommendations 

• Tailor portfolios to individual client objectives, risk tolerance, income needs, and circumstances 

• Identify opportunities involving additional client assets or financial needs and coordinate them with the external advisor 

• Participate in investment discussions and provide input on the firm's model portfolios and overall investment approach 

• Maintain appropriate client notes, documentation, and compliance records 

• Provide exceptional, responsive service to both clients and our external advisor partners 

The objective is simple: help our external advisors grow while helping ensure their existing clients receive the attention, investment management, and ongoing service necessary to build lasting relationships. 

What We're Looking For 

Required: 

• Series 65, or Series 7 and 66 combination 

• Minimum one year of investment advisory, securities, financial planning, or related wealth-management experience 

• Solid understanding of investments, portfolio construction, and asset allocation 

• Strong communication and client relationship skills 

• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail 

• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment 

Preferred: 

• Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, business, accounting, or related field 

• Texas Life and Health Insurance license 

• CFP®, ChFC®, CLU®, CFA®, or other relevant professional designation 

• Experience with an RIA or wealth-management firm 

• Experience with Charles Schwab or a similar institutional custodial platform 

Professional designations are valued but not required. We encourage continued professional development and may support qualified team members pursuing industry credentials. 

Compensation & Benefits 

• $75,000–$100,000+, depending on experience, licensing, and qualifications 

• Bonus opportunities 

• 401(k) 

• Health insurance 

• Life insurance 

• Professional development opportunities 

Work Environment 

This is primarily an in-office position at our Prosper, Texas headquarters. Most client interaction occurs by telephone, video conference, or from our office, so travel and off-site client meetings are limited. 

You'll join an experienced, collaborative team in a growing advisory firm where you can build a career around investments, advice, and client relationships — not prospecting. 

• Job Type: Full-time, Permanent • Work Location: Prosper, Texas 75078 — In person • Required License: Series 65 or Series 7/66 combination • Texas Life & Health License: Preferred
