Summary of Client Service and Advisor Career Ladder
Client service, in and of itself, is a rewarding career. Client service never stops and is an ambitious and noteworthy goal of Fort Pitt. We strive to provide exceptional client service and advice – at all levels of the organization. All roles are expected to promote and adhere to the workplace values of Fort Pitt Capital Group (Candor, Collaboration, Consistency, Drive, Loyalty, and Ownership Mindset).
The first step on the career ladder is the Client Service Associate (“CSA”) role. This is a great entry point to learn the client service side of the
business. The CSA is an ideal role for recent college graduates or professionals pursuing a career change.
The Client Relationship Specialist (“CRS”) role is the second step on the ladder. This service role performs higher client service level tasks and has extensive experience in helping clients with their day-to-day needs. Additionally, there is the potential for promotion to Senior Client Relationship Specialist (“Sr. CRS”) for professionals who choose not to become advisors. This step may occur when the individual has become an expert in all levels of service, training, and mentorship of others is consistent, and volunteering for extra projects is demonstrated.
The Service Advisor (“SA”) role is the first advisor-level rung. The SA’s primary focus remains on service. This role acts as the second chair on an advisor team and with client relationships by leveraging the time of an experienced advisor. An SA is provided the opportunity to develop skills in client service and financial planning as well as begin learning advice and business development. In addition, SAs will develop leadership skills through team coordination of client service requests. A professional may spend their entire career in any of these three service-focused roles.
The Associate Advisor (“AA”) role is the next rung on the career ladder. This position continues the development of advice and planning skills and provides the opportunity to work alongside an FA, LA, or PA. In addition, this role is expected to engage in outside business development through new client leads. The goal of this position is to begin building AA’s own client base. An advisor may spend their entire career in the Associate Advisor role.
The Financial Advisor (“FA”) role is for professionals who have achieved high levels of advice, service, and business development. This role is expected to lead and mentor their client service team. The FA has established a significant and growing client base.
The Lead Advisor (“LA”) role is for professionals who have built a significant client base and are experiencing capacity constraints. The LA is expected to lead and mentor their team as well as professionals across the firm. At this career ladder rung, Lead Advisors begin transitioning strategic client relationships to growing professionals.
The Partner Advisor (“PA”) role is the apex of the Client Service and Advisor Career Ladder. The PA has demonstrated the ability to consistently generate a significant amount of revenue for the firm. A PA is expected to embody and exemplify the firm’s core values. The PA will be a driving force moving the firm forward through business execution and talent development.
