Financial Advisor Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a financial advisor in Massachusetts?

To become a financial advisor in Massachusetts, you need to pass the FINRA Series 65 exam to register as an Investment Adviser Representative, or the Series 7 and Series 66 combination if you plan to sell securities through a broker-dealer. Registration is overseen by the Massachusetts Securities Division within the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Most employers also expect a bachelor's degree in finance, economics, or a related field before hiring.

Which companies hire financial advisors in Massachusetts?

Employers hiring financial advisors in Massachusetts right now include Bank of America, Santander, and Northwestern Mutual, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of major insurers, asset managers, and regional banks means hiring tends to be consistent year-round rather than seasonal.

Which Massachusetts cities have the most financial advisor jobs?

Boston, Needham, and Newton have the most financial advisor openings in Massachusetts. Boston drives the largest share of demand given its density of asset management firms, insurance headquarters like MassMutual, and large financial institutions, while Worcester and Springfield generate steady openings through regional banks, credit unions, and independent advisory practices serving central and western Massachusetts communities.

Are there remote financial advisor jobs in Massachusetts?

Yes, and more than many client-facing roles. About 31% of financial advisor openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how much of the planning and advisory work can be done through video meetings and digital financial platforms. The roles most likely to be fully remote are fee-only financial planners and those serving existing client books rather than building new ones.

How can I get hired as a financial advisor in Massachusetts with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is joining a structured training program at a large firm that hires candidates without an existing client book. Fidelity Investments, MassMutual, and regional banks like Eastern Bank and Rockland Trust run associate advisor or financial representative programs designed for new graduates. Roles such as client service associate, financial planning analyst, or banking relationship banker are common lateral entry points. Having your Series 65 license completed before you apply gives you a clear edge over other candidates.

Where can I find and apply to financial advisor jobs in Massachusetts?
