About Common Wealth Common Wealth is Canada’s fastest growing group retirement provider.

Our award-winning digital platform helps Canadians plan, save, and build secure retirement income.

We partner with a nationwide network of advisors and employers, empowering them with modern tools and insights.

We are driven by a mission to make financial security in retirement more accessible to everyone. Unlike a traditional financial planning or advisory role, this position is not focused on selling products, prospecting, or building a personal book of business.

Instead, you’ll be part of a team working to change how Canadians access financial planning, bringing high-quality advice and education to people for whom this traditionally hasn’t been accessible. You’ll connect with members through their workplace retirement plan and transition into to a financial planning relationship, helping them build retirement security through consistent saving, practical planning, and clear next steps.
