The Financial Solutions Advisor Stage I (FSA I) role begins with 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 employee learns foundational advisory skills, including acquiring, building, and managing client relationships; understanding clients’ complex financial circumstances; and guiding them with advice and solutions. After reaching key milestones, the advisor works in a financial center to provide core banking and investment solutions and client care. The position includes training, coaching, development programs, tools, and resources through the Bank of America Academy. Successful FSA I employees typically progress to Financial Solutions Advisor Stage II and may later advance into other roles at Bank of America and Merrill. The role is subject to SAFE Act registration requirements. Employees engaged in residential loan mortgage 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 immediate termination. The SIE must be obtained within 30 days of hire, and the Series 7 and Series 66 within 120 days.
