Financial Advisor

Smith & Wilkinson has been retained by Peoples Powered by Hanscom to manage the search for a Financial Advisor. Founded as a local Maryland community bank, Peoples (formerly The Peoples Bank) entered a new chapter in their history when, in December of 2025, it was acquired by Hanscom Federal Credit Union (HFCU) and rebranded as Peoples Powered by Hanscom. This strategic partnership has combined the local relationships of Peoples with HFCU’s scale, resources, and established investment services platform.

This position represents a newly created Financial Advisor role within the Maryland region, reflecting the organization’s commitment to expanding investment services across the Credit Union’s footprint. The Advisor will join the existing Hanscom Investment Group and leverage an institutional platform supported by LPL Financial, integrated referral partnerships, and a collaborative branch network.

The Financial Advisor will be responsible for delivering comprehensive financial guidance to the Credit Union's members, including retirement planning, 401(k) rollovers, advisory portfolio management, and long-term wealth strategies. Day-to-day responsibilities include meeting with credit union members and referred prospects, managing and growing recurring assets under management, educating branch partners on referral opportunities, tracking and cultivating referral pipelines, and building a visible presence within the local community.

The role is designed to grow an institutional book of business within a structured, credit union supported model.
