About The Position

At Bank of America, Financial Solutions Advisor Stage I (FSA I) candidates begin by obtaining securities industry licenses through dedicated classes for the SIE, Series 7, and Series 66 exams. After licensing, they learn foundational advising skills, including acquiring, building, and managing client relationships; considering clients’ broader financial circumstances; and providing advice and solutions. After reaching key milestones, they work in a financial center delivering core banking, investment solutions, and client care. Successful Stage I advisors typically progress to Financial Solutions Advisor Stage II, where they deepen relationships with a client portfolio and may pursue other roles at Bank of America and Merrill.

The schedule is Monday through Friday with rotating Saturdays, 40 hours per week, on first shift.
