The Financial Solutions Advisor Stage I (FSA I) begins by obtaining securities industry licenses through dedicated classes and study time for the SIE, Series 7, and Series 66 exams; Series 63 and 65 are accepted in lieu of Series 66. After licensing, the advisor learns foundational skills for acquiring, building, and managing client relationships, evaluating clients’ financial situations, and providing advice and solutions. After reaching key milestones, the advisor works in a financial center to deliver core banking services, investment solutions, and client care. The role includes training, coaching, and development through Bank of America’s Academy. Successful licensed Stage I advisors typically progress to Financial Solutions Advisor Stage II, with opportunities to advance into other roles at Bank of America and Merrill. The position is subject to SAFE Act registration requirements. The employee must register with the federal registry system, complete the required background check and registration process, and maintain good standing. Failure to obtain or maintain registration may result in immediate termination. The role is based in an office-oriented culture and may initially involve phone-based work until a financial center assignment is determined within a reasonable commuting distance, as permitted by law.
