About The Position

The Financial Solutions Advisor Stage I (FSA I) role begins with dedicated training to obtain securities industry licenses, followed by instruction in foundational advisory skills. These include acquiring, building, and managing client relationships; understanding clients’ financial circumstances; and providing advice and solutions.
