WHAT WE DO
Nitrogen has been revolutionizing how financial advisors and wealth management firms engage with their clients since the launch of Riskalyze in 2011. Today, Advisors tell us it's a constant challenge to clearly show the value of their advice and keep clients committed to their plan. Our AI-powered suite connects risk alignment, portfolio research, income planning and tax intelligence into persuasive visuals that turn every meeting into a moment of clarity -- so clients trust you, understand you, and stay aligned for the long term. We invented the Risk Number®, built on top of a Nobel Prize-winning academic framework, and are the champions of the Fearless Investing Movement — tens of thousands of financial advisors are committed to our mission of empowering the world to invest fearlessly.
Nitrogen is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply. We are committed to being fair and intentional in our hiring decisions by reviewing every application thoroughly.
