Connecting Pittsburgh's leading RIAs, wirehouses, and independent advisory practices with the credentialed wealth management talent they can't find on their own.
Pittsburgh's wealth management market is competitive, relationship-driven, and notoriously difficult to hire into. The best financial advisors, wealth managers, and CFPs aren't submitting resumes — they're managing books of business and fielding quiet conversations through trusted channels. Reaching them requires a recruiter with genuine relationships inside the local advisory community, not a staffing firm running job postings.
Tony Priano works exclusively in financial services, with a specific depth in wealth management recruiting across Pittsburgh and the surrounding region. Whether you're an RIA looking to add a lead advisor, a wirehouse branch expanding its team, or an independent practice seeking a credentialed paraplanner, Tony understands the nuances that matter: book portability, AUM expectations, compensation structures, and the credential requirements that separate a candidate who looks right on paper from one who can actually do the job.
From client-facing advisors to operational support, we place across the full wealth management org chart.
Three capabilities that matter specifically in advisory and wealth management recruiting.
Tony understands both the independent RIA world and institutional wirehouse environments — how they're structured, how they compensate, and what motivates advisors to move between them. That fluency means a better brief and better candidates, whether you're a boutique RIA or a major brokerage branch.
Conversations about portability, transition packages, and client retention are delicate. Tony handles them with the discretion they require — approaching candidates appropriately, managing expectations on both sides, and keeping confidentiality throughout the entire search process.
Every candidate is screened not just for credentials and experience, but for production history, client retention track record, and the depth of their credential stack. You won't receive a slate padded with advisors who don't meet your AUM expectations or practice standards.
Let's talk about your practice, your open role, and what the right candidate actually looks like.
