Since 1969, our mission has been to help clients achieve financial peace of mind through objective, fiduciary advice - a commitment reflected in how we partner with clients and how we invest in our people. 

We believe exceptional results aren’t driven by titles or industry pedigree alone - they come from curiosity, collaboration, and character. Whether you’re just starting your career or ready for a meaningful next step, Cooke Financial Group offers a supportive environment where your efforts are visible and your growth is valued.

About the Role - The Senior Client Associate (CA) is a key member of Cooke Financials' advisor support team, serving as the operational and relationship backbone of a pod-based advisor structure. This role is designed for a high-performing professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes ownership of complex client work, and enjoys mentoring and elevating others on the team.

Senior CAs partner closely with Financial Advisors and junior support staff to ensure exceptional client service, flawless execution, and strong internal collaboration. While this role includes administrative and operational responsibilities, the emphasis is on handling higher-risk, more complex client needs and serving as a steady, trusted point of contact.

What Success Looks Like

• Advisors feel confident delegating meaningful work to you
• Clients experience timely, professional, and thoughtful service
• Junior team members rely on you as a resource and example
• Work is completed accurately, proactively, and with minimal follow-up

Qualifications
