About The Snook Group The Snook Group is a growing, independent financial planning firm in Mechanicsburg, PA dedicated to wholistic financial planning. Our team of approximately 30 professionals — advisors, planners, client services, and operations — works collaboratively to deliver comprehensive, client-centered financial plans.   We’re a young, energetic, family-oriented group that takes the quality of our work and the quality of our culture equally seriously. People here don’t have an hourly mentality — they care about doing the work right. The Opportunity We’re looking for an experienced financial planning professional to step into a Senior Paraplanner role — what we call a Senior Case Consultant internally. This person is the engine room of our planning department: building comprehensive financial plans from start to finish, supporting our advisors with polished, deadline-driven deliverables, and serving as a technical mentor to two junior planners who are early in their careers.   The right person thinks like a puzzle solver. They pick up a wide array of client facts — investment statements, income, tax situations, account structures — and assemble them into a complete, well-organized financial picture that an advisor can pick up and walk into a meeting with confidence.   We welcome candidates from a range of financial planning backgrounds, including independent RIAs, insurance-based planning practices, wealth management divisions, and MassMutual general agencies. What matters most is demonstrated holistic planning experience — not transactional or product-driven work, but the ability to see a client’s complete financial picture and build it from scratch. What You’ll Do Build and maintain comprehensive, multi-area financial plans covering investments, retirement, tax planning, and cash flow analysis Prepare all client deliverables on a defined production schedule — plans go to clients 1–2 weeks before advisor meetings Support advisors with pre-meeting preparation and post-meeting follow-up, including plan refinements and client communications Identify planning opportunities — not just what’s in front of you, but what could genuinely benefit the client Mentor and guide two junior case consultants, reviewing their work and accelerating their development Maintain accurate client records across CRM, planning platforms, and portfolio systems Collaborate with the team on process improvements — your input will be heard and acted on Requirements Required: 3–5 years of experience in financial services, with at least 2–4 years in a financial planning or paraplanning role Deep, working knowledge of financial planning concepts: retirement planning, investment basics, tax implications, Social Security, account registrations (IRAs, Roth IRAs, 401(k)s, pensions), and cash flow analysis The ability to think holistically — you understand how all the pieces of a client’s financial life connect Advanced Excel skills and proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, OneDrive) Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple plans under deadline pressure Clear, professional written and verbal communication A team-first mindset and a genuine interest in helping others grow Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis.   Preferred: CFP (Certified Financial Planner) designation — highly valued Series 7 and 66 licenses, or willingness to obtain within 9 months Life, Health, and Accident Insurance licenses, or willingness to obtain within 3 months Experience with RightCapital, Morningstar, eMoney, Advisor360, Envestnet, or similar planning platforms — if you’ve used any planning software, you can learn ours Background at an independent RIA, insurance-based planning firm, MassMutual general agency, or wealth management practice with full planning scope E
