Financial Advisor Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a financial advisor in Colorado?
To become a financial advisor in Colorado, you typically need a bachelor's degree and must register with FINRA by passing the Series 65 exam, which Colorado requires for investment adviser representatives, or the Series 66 combined with a Series 7. The Colorado Division of Securities oversees state registration for investment advisers. Most employers also expect or encourage candidates to pursue the CFP designation from the CFP Board to advance into full advisory roles.
Which companies hire financial advisors in Colorado?
Companies currently hiring financial advisors in Colorado include Northwestern Mutual, Bank of America, and First Command Financial Services, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Colorado's large base of retirees relocating from higher-cost states and its concentration of tech and aerospace professionals create steady demand across both national firms and independent registered investment advisers headquartered in the Denver metro.
Which Colorado cities have the most financial advisor jobs?
The cities with the most financial advisor openings in Colorado are Colorado Springs, Denver, and Greenwood Village. Denver dominates because it serves as the regional headquarters for several major financial institutions and is home to a large professional workforce with complex planning needs, while Colorado Springs and Boulder draw openings through military financial counseling demand and a high concentration of affluent tech and biotech workers, respectively.
Are there remote financial advisor jobs in Colorado?
Yes, and more than some client-facing fields, since financial planning work involves significant analysis, documentation, and virtual client meetings. About 75% of financial advisor openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the industry's growing comfort with digital advisory models. Portfolio review, financial plan preparation, and ongoing client check-ins are the tasks most commonly performed remotely.
How can I get hired as a financial advisor in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is joining a large Colorado-based firm as a client associate or financial planning assistant, roles that Charles Schwab, Fidelity Investments, and Edward Jones use to develop junior advisors at their Denver and Colorado Springs branches. Passing the Series 65 before applying signals seriousness and removes a barrier for hiring managers. Candidates with backgrounds in banking, insurance, or accounting have a natural bridge into advisory associate programs that lead to licensed advisor roles within one to two years.
Where can I find and apply to financial advisor jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to financial advisor jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings across employers of all sizes. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, specialty, and preferred location within the state, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
