About MidCoast Wealth Advisors
Why We Do What We Do:
We believe people deserve great financial advice without the fear of being sold to. We advise our clients with their long-term best interests in mind, not ours, with the goal of hearing, “Well done!”
Our Mission
To hear “well done” from our team, clients, and community by serving their long-term best interests.
What We Are Up To
For many people, their financial professionals don’t coordinate effectively to work together for the clients’ long-term financial interests.
This can lead to missed opportunities, ineffective strategies, and often higher taxes.
MidCoast solves that problem.
We offer clients the ability to address many of their financial questions in one location.
We have created a one-stop resource in a financial services office with unique professional alliances including a CPA accounting practice (MidCoast Tax); an insurance agency (MidCoast Insurance); a Medicare specialist (Navigating Next); and estate planning attorneys.

An Associate Financial Advisor who embodies our values, is excited about our mission, and has what it takes to help a fast-growing financial advisory firm assist advisors in servicing clients through taking detailed notes during meetings, following up on transaction requests, and client communication.

Other’s First – Serving leads to the greater good of our team, our clients, and our community.
Build Trust –Do what you say, no surprises; treat it like it’s your own; follow through.
Communicate Well – Listen first, speak second. Say what you mean, mean what you say. If there’s an issue, let’s deal with it. Simplify the complexities.
Be Hungry – Get after it! Process improvement: make it better than what you found it.
Key Responsibilities
The Associate Financial Advisor (AFA) role will be responsible for assisting our financial advisors in client meetings, following up with advisors and clients regarding any action items related to advice, assisting in the preparation and analysis of financial plans for clients as well as assisting in the identification and implementation of various investment and advice strategies.
This role will also involve assisting in researching investments and product solutions, analysis of market data, and communicating with portfolio analysts to identify and tweak client portfolios.
This role will also include follow up from meetings regarding transactions.
You will begin a career track at MidCoast Wealth Advisors that will allow you to become a fully licensed Associate Financial Advisor and will work your way toward becoming a lead advisor.
