About The Position
The Financial Solutions Advisor Stage I (FSA I) begins by obtaining securities industry licenses, with 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 develops foundational skills in acquiring, building, and managing client relationships; understanding clients’ financial circumstances; and providing advice and solutions. At key development milestones, the advisor begins working in a financial center to deliver Bank of America’s core banking and investment solutions and client care. The role includes structured training, onboarding, coaching, and development resources through the Academy. Successful Stage I advisors typically progress to Financial Solutions Advisor Stage II, where they grow and deepen relationships within a client portfolio and may pursue further opportunities 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 remain in good standing. The role is open across the market, with the specific financial center determined by business needs. The employee will train at a financial center and may initially work in a phone-based capacity until an appropriate financial center location is determined within a reasonable commuting distance, as permitted by law. The schedule is Monday through Friday, with rotating Saturdays required, on first shift for 40 hours per week.
