About Us

The Academy Group is a boutique Financial Service executive-search firm. We have national contracts with some of the nation’s top leading financial service firms.

We have earned a strong reputation with this client over the years, and because of that, they have eliminated 90% of other firms they used to work with.  We are now only one of two firms they work with nation-wide to help them with this recruiting effort.  In fact, we have been their leading recruiter for this position over the past several years.   How does this reputation help you   When we introduce one of our candidates to a hiring manager, that manager is aware of our reputation and he or she will therefore be excited to interview you.

Moreover, we consider ourselves to be your personal agent, and because of that you can expect nothing less than the utmost level of professionalism and personal service from us during every phase of the hiring process.

Bottom line: we will not leave you hanging and feeling like you are going it alone.  We have placed over 350 candidates into this position in only the past four years.  We hope to help you become our next placement.

About our Client
Our client is an award-winning firm, with a very solid and recognizable name and reputation, and is THE leading investment firm in the United States.

Last year our client was ranked #1 in pre-tax profit margins among all competing firms, and they have the lowest attrition rate of all of their competitors.

You will be able to provide an end-to-end platform of financial services - everything from cash management to financial planning, brokerage services, estate planning, block trading, and alternative investments, in addition to M&A advisory services for middle-market privately held companies. You would also be a member of one of the nation’s leading providers of defined benefit and defined contribution plans, as well as corporate stock plan services and administration.

And here’s something even more unique about this company. You will also have access to a wide range of lending products to offer your clients. From personal and home loan products to countless financing opportunities for your business-owner clients, you will truly be a one-stop solution for all of your client’s financial needs.

No experience is required in this industry as they will provide you with all of the training and licensure required to be successful. They do ask, however, that you are someone who is comfortable in a "sales" role, as your goal will be to ultimately sell yourself to your clients as they entrust you with their financial goals.

Details About Their Compensation
If you are hired into this position, you can be comfortable in knowing that your financial needs will be taken care of as you make your way into the business while you are training and growing your business. They will provide you a respectable salary in addition to any commissions and bonuses you may earn along the way.

And the best part about this business is that you own equity in it! What that means is that as you grow your business, when it comes time to finally retire or leave the business, you can sell back your business for a sizable amount of profit!

Benefits
You will become eligible for benefits starting on the first day of your employment. The benefits this company offers are extensive. They include a 401(k), generous time off, tuition reimbursement towards your CFP or other continued education, medical, dental and vision plans, and stock options. They also include such perks as mortgage assistance, special discounts for auto and homeowners insurance, and banking. You’ll also have a chance to build equity in the corporation through several stock ownership plans.
