Customer Success Manager

About Luminary

Luminary powers how advisors connect their client’s financial assets with generational gifting and philanthropic giving goals.

Some $80 trillion will pass between generations in the decades ahead – and high net-worth asset owners say they want their advisors to lead them through this process. However, more than 70% of these clients feel there is a large gap between the services they expect and what they are receiving.

At the heart of this disconnect is the lack of integrated systems – making delivery of trust & estate advice costly and cumbersome. Luminary’s collaboration platform brings together wealth, legal, and tax advisors to scale complex workflows and power innovative features like AI document intake, estate visualizations, strategy modeling and comparison, and client presentation deliverables.

The time has come to bring technology-led efficiency and access to legacy planning. Luminary’s founding team has deep experience in this space, and in building successful software businesses. Our team has experience driving innovation at industry leading companies including AllianceBernstein, Blend, Origin, ChanZuckerberg, Peloton, Compass, and Goldman Sachs.

We are backed by leading venture capital investors 8VC and Fin Capital, prominent wealth management firms, and several family offices. And we’re supported by a group of esteemed advisors who are active in the trust & estate industry.
