Wealth Management Internship

Why Riverwater Is Different

Start building your professional presence with an internship at Riverwater Partners — gaining hands-on experience, building your network, and learning across the core disciplines of wealth management: financial planning, investment management, and operations. 

During our internship program, you’ll interact directly with our wealth management team and will gain a well-rounded and practical understanding of the work involved in wealth management services. You’ll sit alongside the people who run this firm, participate in real client work, and see firsthand how financial planning, investment management, and lasting client relationships come together in practice. 

We’re invested in your growth. By the end of the 10 weeks, you’ll have a genuine understanding of what a career in wealth management looks like and where your interests and strengths fit within it.

What You’ll Do

• Work directly with advisors to learn and apply the financial planning process — not just observe it 

• Gain exposure to investment research, our sustainable investing framework, and portfolio management principles

• Understand the operational backbone of a wealth management practice 

• Contribute your unique perspective and skillset in a team where your voice is heard 

• Attend a community volunteer event alongside the full Riverwater team

Who We’re Looking For

• Rising college seniors preferred 

• A background or genuine interest in wealth & investment management, financial planning, whether through coursework, a CFP Board-registered program, or simply a passion for the field 

• Curiosity, professionalism, and a desire to learn in a hands-on environment 

• Students in financial planning, finance, economics, or related programs are encouraged to apply

Hiring Timeline
