At Bank of America, Financial Solutions Advisor Stage I (FSA I) candidates begin 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. The role requires obtaining the SIE within 30 days of hire and the Series 7 and Series 66 within 120 days. After licensing, candidates learn foundational advisory skills, including acquiring, building, and managing client relationships, considering clients’ complex financial circumstances, and providing advice and solutions. After reaching key milestones, they work in a financial center helping deliver core banking, investment solutions, and client care. Successful licensed FSAs I typically progress to Financial Solutions Advisor Stage II, with further opportunities across Bank of America and Merrill.
