At key development milestones, the advisor begins working in a financial center to deliver core banking and investment solutions and support client care. Successful Stage I advisors typically progress to Financial Solutions Advisor Stage II, where they grow and deepen relationships with a portfolio of clients, and may later advance to other roles within Bank of America and Merrill. The Academy provides programs, tools, and resources throughout this development journey.
