Always Be Recruiting

In the wealth management industry, growth depends on people as much as process. Matt Matrisian, President of SEIA, believes that the most successful firms are always recruiting—because the search for great talent never truly ends.
At Signature Estate & Investment Advisors (SEIA), the internship pipeline isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a strategic growth engine. By constantly engaging with universities and young professionals, SEIA ensures a steady influx of fresh energy, curiosity, and ambition that keeps the firm evolving.

Training for Tomorrow

SEIA’s commitment to talent development goes beyond hiring. The firm’s internship and mentorship programs are designed to shape the next generation of financial advisors from the ground up.
Interns are exposed early to client engagement, investment management, and the operational heartbeat of the firm—so that when they graduate, they’re ready to contribute on day one. Structured career ladders, hands-on mentorship, and clear paths to partnership make SEIA’s culture magnetic for both emerging and experienced talent.

Future-Proofing the Industry

The wealth management industry faces a generational challenge: thousands of advisors are nearing retirement, and the next wave must be ready to step in. Firms that invest now in developing future advisors aren’t just filling jobs—they’re building legacies.
SEIA’s approach is a model for the future: empower young professionals early, create a culture of continuous learning, and maintain a talent pipeline that fuels both sustainability and scalability.

By prioritizing people and process equally, SEIA continues to grow its impact—one advisor at a time.

These insights are inspired by the latest episode of Next Mile featuring Matt Matrisian, President of SEIA. Hear how he’s helping advisors grow through structure, not chaos.
