Financial Advisor

Join Frazier Financial Advisors to support our growing team! Before the details, what we're really looking for is someone who cares a ton about serving people (we call this high "give a shit"), cares about working hard for their teammates, and doesn't take life too seriously to laugh at dad jokes at lunch. Our firm has grown 3x in the past 5 years, and we need more advisors to keep up with our pace of awesome referrals.

Our firm culture is client-service centric, entrepreneurial, fun and collaborative. We embrace change and evolution and our team is highly adaptable to quick pivots. Our passion is simplifying our clients’ lives and helping them make smart financial decisions. Our most unique quality as a firm is providing “one stop shop” financial advice. We combine tax preparation, investment management, advanced financial planning and insurance planning all within one firm. We are a tight knit team with a huge snack drawer, office dogs, and flexible schedules to make it to all of life's crucial moments.

Frazier Financial Advisors has been serving individuals with their investment and tax needs for over 25 years. Based in Columbus, Ohio, we serve 500+ families across 35 states and manage over $750 million dollars for our clients. Frazier Financial Advisors also prepares over 450 1040/1041/1120 tax returns annually for clients.

We are seeking a licensed Financial Advisor to join our firm. This is a salaried, full-time role and is primarily in the office 9-5 on weekdays. Everyone on our team has complete flexibility to handle your schedule as you choose for personal appointments, illness, family obligations, etc. This role will work alongside our existing 3 Client Service Assistants, 6 Primary Advisors (client facing Financial Advisors), our Portfolio Manager and the CPAs & EAs on our tax team.
