Financial Advisor Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a financial advisor in Pennsylvania?

To become a financial advisor in Pennsylvania, you typically need a bachelor's degree and must pass the FINRA Series 65 exam to register as an investment adviser representative, or the Series 7 and Series 66 combination to work as a broker-adviser. Registration is administered through Pennsylvania's Department of Banking and Securities. Many roles also expect or encourage the Certified Financial Planner designation, which requires additional coursework and an ethics examination.

Which companies hire financial advisors in Pennsylvania?

Employers hiring financial advisors in Pennsylvania right now include Northwestern Mutual, Clearview Federal Credit Union, and Vista Wealth Solutions, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Pennsylvania's concentration of insurance carriers, regional banks, and large asset managers like Vanguard means the market supports both independent firm roles and positions within large institutional platforms.

Which Pennsylvania cities have the most financial advisor jobs?

Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Moosic have the most financial advisor openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia dominates due to its concentration of asset managers, insurance headquarters, and private wealth firms, while Pittsburgh's banking and healthcare wealth base drives steady demand there, and Allentown draws hiring from regional insurance carriers and community banks serving the Lehigh Valley corridor.

Are there remote financial advisor jobs in Pennsylvania?

Yes, and more than many client-facing fields, since a meaningful portion of financial planning work involves analysis, virtual client meetings, and portfolio review that translate well to remote settings. About 53% of financial advisor openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of September 2026. Roles focused on financial plan preparation, investment research, or ongoing client relationship management are the most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements.

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

The most realistic entry path is joining a large Pennsylvania firm as a financial advisor associate or client associate, which provides supervised client exposure and supports your licensing timeline. Vanguard's Malvern campus and Lincoln Financial in Radnor both run structured new-professional programs that include exam sponsorship and mentorship. Candidates coming from banking, insurance sales, or accounting roles have a natural bridge, and completing the Series 65 exam before applying gives any candidate a clear edge over unlicensed applicants.

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