Associate: Team Solutions

Succession Resource Group (SRG) is a boutique consulting firm specializing in succession planning, valuation, and transaction advisory for financial advisors, RIAs, and other small business owners. We help clients value, grow, protect, and plan the transition of their businesses — pairing deep technical expertise with white-glove, strategy-first service across valuation, equity and compensation design, entity work, succession readiness, and buy- and sell-side transactions.

We're just as intentional about how we work. SRG is a fully remote team across nearly a dozen states and a two-time honoree on Inc.'s Best Workplaces list (2024 and 2026), a recognition earned through anonymous employee feedback. Our culture runs on one commitment — Show Up Daily — for our clients, our craft, and each other.

Succession Resource Group is a 100% remote firm. This role does not require travel or transportation, nor does it require prolonged periods of sitting, standing, or walking. Reasonable accommodations are available to enable qualified individuals to perform these essential functions.

Description

As a Team Solutions Associate, your support keeps our client engagements running smoothly. Working under the direction of the team’s Senior Consultant, you will help the team as we form and restructure business entities, prepare governance documents, and execute mergers and reorganizations for financial advisors. You will prepare and assemble deliverables from templates, consultant strategies, and client input; coordinate meetings, filings, and timelines; keep projects organized; and follow through on the details, including coordination with outside parties such as state agencies. The role calls for strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently. We are looking for a detail-oriented self-starter who brings consistent go-getter energy, thrives in a collaborative remote team, and is genuinely eager to keep learning complex, technical material.

This is an associate-level role centered on coordination and support, working largely behind the scenes. Client-facing updates, status, and next steps flow through our project management system, with scheduling as the primary administrative, client-facing touchpoint. Associates who excel will use this role as a foundation to build the judgment and technical depth needed to step into a client-facing consulting role, typically within 3–6 years.

When You Join SRG

• Continuous learning and apprenticeship. You'll learn by doing, alongside experienced consultants who invest in your development. Feedback here is frequent, direct, and aimed at helping you grow — and the associates who get the most out of it are the ones who take it to heart and own their trajectory.
• Your ideas matter from day one. We value initiative and fresh thinking at every level. You'll have real opportunities to shape how we solve problems and improve how we work.
• A clear path to consulting work. Through mentorship, coaching, and growing exposure to client engagements, you'll build the judgment and technical depth to move toward a client-facing consulting role.

Key Responsibilities

5. Research and Continuous Learning:
