Financial Advisor Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a financial advisor in Florida?
You typically need a bachelor's degree followed by passing FINRA licensing exams, most commonly the Series 65 for investment adviser representatives or the Series 7 combined with a Series 66 for broker-dealer roles. Florida does not issue its own state investment adviser exam, but the Florida Office of Financial Regulation oversees registration for investment advisers operating in the state. Many Florida employers also require a Florida life and health insurance license for roles that include insurance-linked planning products.
Which companies hire financial advisors in Florida?
Employers hiring financial advisors in Florida right now include Northwestern Mutual, First Command Financial Services, and Bank of America, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Florida's large retirement-age population and concentration of high-net-worth clients means firms with wealth management and retirement planning practices tend to post the most consistently across the state.
Which Florida cities have the most financial advisor jobs?
Orlando, Tampa, and Fort Lauderdale account for the greatest concentration of financial advisor openings in Florida. Miami's private banking and international wealth management sector drives volume in South Florida, while Tampa is home to Raymond James headquarters and a dense cluster of regional firms, and Orlando's fast-growing professional population supports both independent practices and large wirehouse branches.
Are there remote financial advisor jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely analytical roles because client relationship management typically requires in-person meetings, particularly for high-net-worth and retirement planning clients. About 30% of financial advisor openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with most remote availability concentrated in financial planning support, paraplanner, and back-office advisory roles rather than client-facing positions.
How can I get hired as a financial advisor in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a financial advisor associate or paraplanner role, which large Florida firms like Raymond James and Edward Jones post specifically for candidates building toward full advisor status. Many firms run structured development programs that pair new associates with senior advisors while they complete their Series 65 or CFP coursework. Candidates coming from adjacent roles in banking, insurance, or tax preparation are commonly recruited, and holding a Florida 2-15 life and health insurance license before applying gives an immediate edge.
Where can I find and apply to financial advisor jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to financial advisor jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from Florida employers. Search the listings, find roles that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
