ABOUT THE ROLE
At Westwood Wealth, we are more than advisors—we are stewards of our clients’ financial well-being, delivering personalized, high-touch service with discretion, precision, and care to UHNW individuals and families. Our clients trust us with what matters most, and we honor that trust by ensuring every interaction is seamless, proactive, and deeply personalized.
The Wealth Advisor (Vice President) operates as part of a four‑person client team intentionally designed to deliver coordinated, deeply personalized service and continuity to UHNW families. Serving as the primary day‑to‑day contact for client households, Wealth Advisors ensure clients feel supported and cared for across all aspects of their relationship with the firm. This role manages communication with clients and their other advisors (tax, estate, etc.), coordinates deliverables, and ensures client requests and needs are addressed promptly.
There is no business development requirement for this role. Incoming Wealth Advisors are not expected to bring a book of business; they will inherit existing UHNW client relationships.
