Molly Cooper

Molly joined the Higgins & Schmidt Wealth Strategies team in 2014. After a decade of working as a Client Service Associate and then as the Operations & Compliance Manager, she took on the role of Financial Advisor in 2024. She holds her Series 7 and Series 66 licenses, held through LPL Financial.  Some of the achievements she’s particularly proud of include spearheading the transition to an RIA firm in 2017, the implementation of our discretionary, model-based trading system, and personally knowing every single client we serve. 

As a Financial Advisor, Molly works directly with individuals and families to develop customized strategies to help pursue their financial goals. She is fascinated by the intersection of psychology and finances, as money is a deeply personal and emotional matter for so many people. In an industry that is often designed to be opaque, she enjoys empowering her clients to feel confident in their decisions and in their ability to reach their goals. She takes particular pride in the long-term relationships we develop with our clients and their families.  

Prior to her start with the firm, Molly worked as a financial advisor with Edward Jones Investments, both in the home office and in the field. Molly also has several years of experience working for a family-owned independent insurance agency in Minnesota. She is originally from Little Falls, Minnesota, and is a graduate of the College of Saint Benedict in Saint Joseph, Minnesota. She lives in northwest Denver with her husband, daughter, and their golden retriever, Captain. When not in the office, she loves skiing, cheering for her long-suffering Minnesota sports teams, reading, and a great yoga class.
