A wealth advisor resume has to prove you grow and keep clients' wealth: you manage assets, build financial plans, grow your book, and retain clients through performance and service. Employers want AUM, growth, and retention, not "advised clients." Here's how to write a wealth advisor resume that lands interviews.
Wealth advising is AUM grown and clients retained. Lead with AUM and growth.
Show your advisory work and the numbers:
The pattern: the client goal → your advice or plan → the AUM, growth, or retention result. (See quantify your resume achievements and resume action verbs.)
Naming your credentials makes the resume concrete and ATS-friendly (ATS — the software that screens resumes before a person does).
Wealth advising is judged on AUM and growth — show AUM managed, net new assets, clients/households, growth, and retention. (For the markets side, see the investment analyst resume guide and portfolio manager resume guide.)

Lead with AUM and growth (AUM managed, net new assets, clients/households, retention), show your wealth-management, planning, and business-development skills, and name your licenses. AUM, growth, and retention are what employers screen for.
Use wealth numbers: AUM managed, net new assets, clients/households served, growth rate, and retention. "Managed and grew a $X book across Y households" and "acquired $X in new assets" prove advisory impact better than "advised clients."
Wealth management (portfolios, asset allocation), financial planning (retirement, tax, estate), business development (prospecting, referrals), relationship management (service, retention), compliance (suitability, fiduciary), and credentials (CFP, CFA, Series 7/66). Name the licenses.
A wealth advisor manages client relationships, plans, and assets holistically; a portfolio manager makes the investment decisions for portfolios or funds. Lead a wealth advisor resume with AUM, client growth, planning, and retention.
