Compensation Transparency
Salary: $150,000 - $165,000
At Earned, we are committed to fair and transparent compensation. Base salary is market-driven and determined at the time of offer based on benchmarks such as role-specific market data, company stage, and factors such as internal equity, relevant experience, interview performance, location, and level.
Earned is a category-defining, first-in-kind tax-smart financial services firm dedicated to serving doctors, their families, and their practices. Our goal is to be the only financial partner doctors need by seamlessly integrating personal and practice-based solutions to maximize their wealth potential and drive better financial outcomes.
We bring together tax, accounting, wealth management, insurance, and legal services under one platform not as a generic one-stop shop, but to deliver better advice through an integrated view of a doctor’s full financial life. Our differentiation is relationship-led, trust-based selling paired with disciplined execution across the ecosystem.
Earned manages $3.4B+ in assets, serves more than 20,000 clients, and is one of the fastest-growing doctor-focused platforms in the country. Backed by $200M of committed capital, we are scaling rapidly through acquisitions and organic growth across multiple service lines.
We are building this platform from the ground up, leveraging modern technology, data, and AI to simplify the client experience and make it easier for advisors and sales teams to deliver high-quality advice at scale. Operating across multiple service lines, acquired entities, and client entry points requires a highly disciplined yet relationship-driven go-to-market model that can scale without losing trust.
Join us as we build the future of financial services for doctors faster, smarter, and at scale.
