Financial Advisor

Description
This job requires sales and service of retirement and other financial products to employees of client groups. We are looking for seasoned individuals with a broad knowledge of the securities business. A Financial Advisor must have the desire to work with a large number of individuals. Increasing penetration of existing client groups is a primary function of this position. Successful FAs are self-starting individuals who are highly motivated and financially driven to achieve success. Successful FAs may be promoted to Senior Financial Advisor positions.

Requirements
To be successful in this position it is essential that you demonstrate exceptional communication and interpersonal skills in dealing with clients. You must be able to embrace technology as sales presentation and account servicing tools are increasingly accessed through technology. Successful FAs have a demonstrated sales orientation and the ability to quickly learn and market a variety of financial products and services.

Specific requirements are:

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent related work experience
  • Two to three years industry experience
  • Proven knowledge of the financial industry
  • Inclination toward sales

In addition, the willingness to obtain the following licenses with our training and financial support:

  • FINRA Series 6
  • FINRA Series 63
  • State Variable Life & Health License

Hours
Financial Advisors typically set their own schedules and work 40 or more hours a week. The hours you work, which can be flexible, depend on the number of clients serviced, the amount of time spent servicing each client and the time involved in managing client investments. The flexibility to work some scheduled evening and weekend hours is essential in providing high-quality service for customers who prefer evening or weekend appointments.

Compensation
Financial Advisors are ultimately commission-based. Training salaries are available for new FAs under appropriate circumstances. The compensation package for advisors and managers is very competitive, with no ceiling on earning potential.

Travel
The exact amount of travel depends on the assigned territory and client base. As we move forward, client-servicing tools are increasingly accessed through technology; however, face-to-face service is also an important part of servicing clients and is frequently required. Occasional travel for training, group enrollments, or regional meetings may also be required.
