Choreo is a wealth management firm built on an interconnected network of financial advisors with a shared vision servicing entrepreneurs, CPAs, and individuals with a forward-thinking approach to financial planning to translate wealth into fulfillment.

Together, this team partners with advisor practices to solve complex client challenges involving tax, estate, business, insurance, and multigenerational wealth planning.
This leader will own the strategy, development, launch, and adoption of Advanced Planning capabilities across Choreo—building scalable solutions that deepen client trust, strengthen retention, and drive long term growth.
