What Employers Look For

The qualifications that appear most often in financial advisor jobs.

  • Active Series 7 and Series 66 licenses or willingness to obtain them
  • CFP designation or demonstrated progress toward completion
  • Two or more years of client-facing financial advisory or wealth management experience
  • Proficiency in financial planning software such as eMoney, MoneyGuidePro, or similar platforms
  • Proven ability to develop and retain a personal book of business
  • Bachelor's degree in finance, business, economics, or a closely related field

Tips for Your Financial Advisor Job Search

Lead your resume with designations

Your Series 7, Series 66, CFP, or CFA credential should appear at the top of your resume before your work history. Recruiters screen for licensure first, and a buried credential can cost you an interview you would have otherwise passed.

Quantify your book of business

Hiring managers want to see assets under management, client retention rates, and revenue generated, not just job duties. Replace phrases like 'managed client portfolios' with figures that show the actual scale of your work and your growth over time.

Target firms by their client minimum

A wirehouse focused on ultra-high-net-worth clients expects a different background than an RIA serving mass-affluent households. Read each firm's stated client minimum before applying so your cover letter reflects a realistic fit with their actual business model.

Apply early to roles that fit

Migrate Mate lists financial advisor openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing. Applying early keeps your application out of the late-stage pile.

Prepare a client scenario walkthrough

Final-round interviews often include a case where you build a sample financial plan for a hypothetical client. Practice walking through a goal-based recommendation that covers risk tolerance, time horizon, asset allocation, and tax considerations in under ten minutes.

Negotiate your payout structure, not just base

Many financial advisor offers involve a grid or tiered payout on production rather than a fixed salary increase. Before accepting, model out what the payout structure means at your expected book size so you're comparing real earning potential, not headline numbers.

Financial Advisor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies are hiring the most financial advisors?

The companies hiring the most financial advisors right now include Bank of America, Northwestern Mutual, and Wealthbridge Financial, with the largest share of openings in Washington, Florida, and California, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Demand is highest at firms actively expanding their retail wealth management and retirement planning practices.

How many financial advisor jobs are remote?

About 24% of financial advisor openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with remote options most common in fee-only planning, virtual RIA practices, and insurance-based advisory roles. Roles that require in-person client relationship development or branch-based sales are least likely to offer remote arrangements.

How do you become a financial advisor?

Start by earning a bachelor's degree in finance, economics, or business, then pass the Series 7 and Series 66 exams to obtain the licenses most employers require before you can work with clients. Many advisors then pursue the CFP designation, which involves additional coursework, a board exam, and a required number of hours of professional experience. Entry-level roles at brokerages or banks are the most common starting point.

Can you get hired as a financial advisor with little experience?

Yes, firms regularly hire candidates with limited direct advisory experience, particularly for associate advisor or financial planning assistant roles designed to develop new talent. A completed Series 7 exam, a finance-related degree, and demonstrated interest in client relationship development carry significant weight at this level. Some wirehouses and insurance firms also run structured new-advisor programs that provide training and a salary draw against future production.

What does the financial advisor interview process look like?

Most processes start with a recruiter screen focused on your licensing status and book-of-business history, followed by a hiring manager interview covering your client acquisition approach and investment philosophy. Final rounds often include a case study where you build a sample financial plan for a hypothetical client and present it to a panel. Background and credit checks are standard before any offer is extended.

Where can I find and apply to financial advisor jobs?

You can find and apply to financial advisor jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience and specialization, then apply directly to each one that fits your goals.
