Financial Solutions Advisor - Registration Candidate - North Phoenix Area
About The Position
The Financial Solutions Advisor Stage I (FSA I) role begins with dedicated training to obtain securities industry licenses, including the SIE, Series 7, and Series 66 exams. After licensing, the advisor learns foundational skills for acquiring, building, and managing client relationships, understanding clients’ financial situations, and providing advice and solutions. After reaching key milestones, the advisor works in a financial center delivering core banking and investment solutions and client care. The role includes training, coaching, and development through Bank of America’s Academy, and successful Stage I advisors typically progress to Financial Solutions Advisor Stage II, with opportunities to advance in Bank of America and Merrill. The position 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 termination. The role is open across the market, and the specific financial center will be determined by business needs. Training takes place at one financial center; the employee may initially work in a phone-based capacity until a financial center location within a reasonable commuting distance is determined, as permitted by law. The schedule is Monday through Friday with rotating Saturdays, 40 hours per week, on first shift.
