BGM Group • Bloomington, MN

About The Position

Cornerstone Private Asset Trust Company is a boutique firm built on relationships, flexibility, and a shared commitment to doing what’s best for our clients. We operate as a highly collaborative team where everyone contributes, supports one another, and steps in where needed—regardless of title.
As part of the BGM Group, we partner across tax, wealth management, and advisory services to deliver a fully integrated client experience. Internally, that same collaboration defines how we work—without silos or rigid role boundaries.
Retirement plans are a key and growing part of our business. We partner with business owners to design, implement, and manage plans that align with their goals while ensuring fiduciary oversight and long-term success.
We are seeking an experienced, client-focused Retirement Plan Advisor to join our team and take ownership of our retirement plan offering. This role will operate as a team of one initially, requiring someone who can independently manage client relationships, oversee plan execution, and contribute to growing the service line.
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys both high-level advisory work and hands-on execution, and who is motivated to help build a department over time. As the business grows, this role will have the opportunity to shape processes, expand services, and hire additional team members.
This role owns the full lifecycle of retirement plan services—from client advisory and plan design to coordination, execution, and ongoing relationship management.
In a small team environment, success requires a willingness to roll up your sleeves and step in wherever needed to support clients and the broader team.
