JOIN OUR DREAM TEAM
Superstars welcome.
We do good work, with good people, for good people.
XYPN is the leading turnkey financial planning platform for fee-only advisors who want to serve their Gen X & Y peers.
Our founders, Michael Kitces and Alan Moore, struck a chord as they preached about the need to do financial planning differently to serve Gen X and Gen Y clients. Whether they were speaking at an industry conference, writing a blog, podcasting, or simply tweeting, the message was heard loud and clear: it's the dawn of a new era in financial planning. Thus, XY Planning Network was born. Hundreds of financial advisors responded by joining the movement and building thriving firms of their very own, the XYPN way.
Our team is passionate about supporting the best in the business. We're thrilled to be recognized among the Inc. Best Workplaces in 2019 and the 2019 InvestmentNews Excellence in Diversity & Inclusion Awards.
If you're up for the challenge of disrupting an industry, join us.

Our Commitment to Diversity
We Welcome Everyone
XYPN is committed to achieving equality and enhancing diversity in the financial planning profession. Through creating an inclusive and comfortable environment for all, we expand access to financial planning services.
We believe we're better when we're diverse, which includes diversity in race & ethnicity, gender, background, religious belief, and more. XYPN's commitment to achieving equality starts "at home" with diversity goals in hiring and continues in many innovative ways.
When hiring, we don't staff based on skin color or gender. We do, however, push ourselves to give candidates from underrepresented populations a chance they may not otherwise get. Our goal is to interview at least two non-white candidates in first-round interviews for all open positions.
