Associate financial planner

About Beyond Wealth 

At Beyond Wealth, we believe financial planning is about more than just numbers—it’s about empowering people to live their best and most unique lives. We’re a boutique, fee-only wealth management firm based in Overland Park, KS, serving high-achieving professionals and business owners across the country. Our clients are driven, curious, and intentional—most begin working with us between the ages of 35 and 55, as their income and financial complexity increase significantly. From initial wealth building to retirement planning and beyond, we remain dedicated to supporting our clients on every step of their financial journey.  

We’re passionate about simplifying that complexity. Whether it’s optimizing equity compensation, building a work-optional lifestyle, or effectively managing variable income, we guide our clients with clear, actionable advice and proactive strategies. 

As a firm, we cultivate a culture of collaboration, growth, and genuine care for one another, our clients, and the work we do. We value curiosity, integrity, and excellence. You will surround yourself with a team that shows up for one another and our clients every day. 

Why This Role Is a Great Fit 

Are you in the early stages of your financial planning career and eager to grow into a lead advisor role? Do you want mentorship, support, and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to clients’ lives from day one? 

As an Associate Financial Planner at Beyond Wealth, you’ll play an integral role in helping clients gain clarity and confidence around their finances. You will partner closely with our lead advisors and client service associate, working directly with clients to support planning, financial strategy, and relationship management. Over time, you’ll build the skills and trust to take the lead in client relationships, supported by a clear path toward becoming a Lead Wealth Advisor. 

This role is ideal for someone who is proactive, values collaboration, and thrives in a detail-oriented, service-focused environment. 

What You’ll Do 

Client Service & Relationship Management 

  • Participate in client meetings to take notes, document follow-ups, and support strategic discussions. 

  • Build trusted relationships with clients through consistent, thoughtful communication and follow-through. 

  • Help translate technical advice into understandable, actionable next steps for clients. 

  • Provide responsive support for client questions, especially around plan implementation and financial strategy. 

Financial Planning & Technical Support 

  • Gather and analyze client data, build net worth statements, and support plan development. 

  • Create personalized planning scenarios using eMoney, Holistiplan, and other tools. 

  • Prepare financial projections, tax strategies, and retirement projections. 

  • Contribute to research and special projects, especially as clients’ needs evolve. 

Team Collaboration & Growth 

  • Work closely with lead advisors to ensure an excellent client experience across every touchpoint. 

  • Step into client-facing roles as your skills progress—leading portions of meetings and taking on more complex planning tasks. 

  • Share ideas and insights to help improve processes and elevate the overall client experience. 

  • Engage in regular learning and professional development, with support from CFP® and CFA mentors. 

What We’re Looking For 

Required Qualifications

You’ll Thrive in This Role If You: 

  • Are highly organized with exceptional attention to detail. 

  • Communicate with warmth, clarity, and professionalism—both written and verbal. 

  • Are confident working with numbers and analyzing data, but also able to zoom out and see the big picture. 

  • Enjoy working collaboratively in a small team environment where your voice matters. 

  • Are curious, coachable, and committed to growing your expertise over time. 

  • Have experience (or are excited to learn) tools like eMoney, Holistiplan, and Advyzon.
