The Financial Solutions Advisor Stage I (FSA I) role begins with preparation for and completion of securities licensing exams, including the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE), Series 7, and Series 66 (or accepted Series 63 and 65 licenses). After licensing, the advisor learns foundational skills for acquiring, building, and managing client relationships, understanding clients’ financial circumstances, and offering advice and solutions. At key development milestones, the advisor begins working in a financial center to provide banking and investment solutions and deliver client care. The position includes structured training, dedicated study time, and one-on-one coaching through Bank of America’s Academy. Successful Stage I advisors typically progress to Financial Solutions Advisor Stage II, where they continue developing client relationships within a portfolio and may pursue other roles at Bank of America and Merrill. The role is subject to SAFE Act registration requirements, including registration with the federal registry system and completion of the required background check and registration process. Failure to obtain or maintain registration may result in termination. The schedule is Monday through Friday with rotating Saturdays, on a first shift schedule, for 40 hours per week. The position is open across the market; the financial center location will depend on business needs. Training takes place at one financial center, and the role may initially be phone-based until a financial center location within a reasonable commuting distance is determined, as permitted by law.
