A Firm Passionate About Growing the Financial Planning Profession

Our Mission and Purpose

Our recruiting firm was founded with one goal in mind. We want to positively shape the financial planning profession by supplying top-level talent to high-growth firms so more consumers will ultimately have access to financial planning services. Part of our mission includes increasing awareness around financial planning career paths and solidifying the profession’s standing among other reputable and established service professions.

Caleb Brown and Michael Kitces, our two co-founders, have been long standing contributors to and advocates of the financial planning profession. They built our foundation around a strong belief that a career in financial planning is the best job anyone could ever have.

New Planner Recruiting supports both hiring firms and professionals seeking the right fit to facilitate effective and prosperous working relationships.
