Independent wealth advisory managing $354B in assets across all 50 states
Creative Planning is a mid-sized wealth advisory firm operating across private wealth management, family office services, investment management, and tax/estate planning. The hiring mix is heavily skewed toward finance roles (51 of 70 active positions), with senior-level seniority dominating (43 of 70) — a pattern typical of advisory firms scaling advisory capacity and client-facing operations. Notably absent from their stack: modern data tools (no dbt, Snowflake, or BI platforms), suggesting reliance on legacy advisory infrastructure (QuickBooks, Salesforce, CCH for tax) and pointing to operational friction around "single source of truth dashboards" and "multi-touch attribution" listed as active projects.
Creative Planning advises on $354 billion in combined assets under management or advisement across all 50 U.S. states and internationally. The firm operates as a traditional independent advisory with integrated in-house teams spanning wealth management, tax planning, estate planning, investment management, risk management, and retirement services — avoiding outsourced specialist models. The service portfolio includes comprehensive wealth management, family office administration, business succession planning, and strategic insurance and risk management. The organization is based in Overland Park, Kansas, and employs 1,001–5,000 people, with active hiring underway in the United States and Peru.
Creative Planning and its affiliates manage and advise on more than $354 billion in combined assets as of December 31, 2024, serving clients across all 50 U.S. states and internationally.
Creative Planning's primary stack includes Salesforce (CRM), QuickBooks/QuickBooks Online (accounting), CCH (tax compliance), Microsoft Office suite, Bill.com, and Zoom for client meetings.
