About The Position

At Bank of America, a Financial Solutions Advisor Stage I (FSA I) begins by obtaining securities industry licenses through dedicated classes and study time for the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE), Series 7, and Series 66 exams. After licensing, the advisor learns foundational skills for acquiring, building, and managing client relationships, assessing clients’ complex financial pictures, and providing advice and solutions. After reaching key milestones, the advisor works in a financial center, helping deliver core banking and investment solutions and client care. Training, tools, and resources are provided throughout the development process. Successful Stage I advisors typically progress to Financial Solutions Advisor Stage II, where they continue developing skills and growing relationships within a client portfolio, with opportunities to advance into other roles at Bank of America and Merrill. The position is subject to SAFE Act registration requirements. Employees engaged in residential mortgage loan originations must register with the federal registry system, complete the required background check and registration process, and remain in good standing. Failure to obtain or maintain registration may result in termination. The role is based in an in-office culture, with expectations determined by role-specific responsibilities and business needs. The schedule is Monday through Friday with rotating Saturdays, first shift, at 40 hours per week. The requisition lists multiple locations, but an immediate opening is not available at every location.
