The Financial Solutions Advisor Stage I (FSA I) begins by obtaining securities industry licenses through dedicated classes for the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE), Series 7, and Series 66 exams. After licensing, the advisor develops foundational skills in acquiring, building, and managing client relationships; understanding clients’ financial circumstances; and providing advice and solutions that support their financial goals. The role progresses through training and milestone-based development before the advisor works in a financial center, delivering core banking and investment solutions and client care. Successful licensed Stage I advisors typically progress to Financial Solutions Advisor Stage II, where they continue developing skills and deepening relationships with a client portfolio, with potential to advance into other roles at Bank of America and Merrill. The Academy provides programs, tools, and resources throughout the career journey. The position is subject to SAFE Act registration requirements. The employee must complete the required registration and background-check process and maintain good standing; failure to obtain or maintain registration may result in termination. The role includes structured training and dedicated study time to earn required securities licenses. The SIE must be obtained within 30 days of hire, and Series 7 and Series 66 within 120 days; Series 63 and 65 are accepted in lieu of Series 66. The role is based in the market, with the specific financial center location determined by business needs. The employee will train at one financial center and may initially work in a phone-based capacity until another location within reasonable commuting distance is determined, where permitted by applicable law. The schedule is Monday through Friday with rotating Saturdays, first shift, 40 hours per week.
