Independent advisor platform and RIA/broker-dealer services for wealth management
Kestra Financial operates a Salesforce-centric stack (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud) layered with Azure cloud infrastructure, Databricks, and Delta Lake—actively modernizing this ecosystem while adopting Anaplan and Alation. The hiring surge (77 roles in 30 days) skews heavily toward finance (31), support (21), and ops (17), with engineering at 10 and data at 6, signaling a business-operations-first scaling model rather than product-led growth. Pain points center on adoption friction, Salesforce integration complexity, and compliance burden—typical for a services-heavy fintech.
Notable leadership hires: Client Service Director, Lead Generation
Kestra Financial provides independent RIA and broker-dealer infrastructure, along with integrated technology and practice-management solutions, to independent financial advisors. The company bundles core services—advisor and staff training, practice management tooling, concierge support, and asset management—alongside a Salesforce-powered tech platform. Based in Austin with 201–500 employees, Kestra operates as a private firm. Current initiatives span data modernization (Azure Data Lake to Databricks lakehouse migration), finance systems transformation (implementing CPM/FP&A tools), Salesforce ecosystem upgrades, and workflow automation to reduce service resolution time and compliance risk.
