Financial Advisor Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a financial advisor in Virginia?
To work as a financial advisor in Virginia, you must register with the Virginia State Corporation Commission, which oversees investment advisers and broker-dealers operating in the state. Most roles require passing the FINRA Series 7 and either the Series 65 or Series 66 exams before you can legally advise clients. A bachelor's degree in finance, business, or economics is the standard educational entry point, and many Virginia employers expect candidates to pursue CFP certification within their first few years.
Which companies hire financial advisors in Virginia?
Employers hiring financial advisors in Virginia right now include First Command Financial Services, Bank of America, and Truist, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Virginia's mix of federal government proximity, defense contractor wealth, and major financial services headquarters in Richmond and Northern Virginia keeps employer demand broad and relatively consistent throughout the year.
Which Virginia cities have the most financial advisor jobs?
Richmond, Alexandria, and Fairfax are the Virginia cities with the most financial advisor openings. Northern Virginia's concentration of high-income federal and defense-sector households drives the largest share of demand, while Richmond anchors the state's banking and insurance sector, and Virginia Beach reflects growing wealth management needs in the Hampton Roads region.
Are there remote financial advisor jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely analytical roles because client relationship-building typically requires in-person meetings. About 12% of financial advisor openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions tend to involve financial planning or portfolio analysis work rather than active client prospecting or wealth management roles that depend on face-to-face trust.
How can I get hired as a financial advisor in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a financial advisor associate or client associate role at a firm with a formal training program, since firms like Edward Jones and Fidelity Investments run structured new-advisor development tracks at their Virginia offices. Candidates who arrive with a passing score on the Series 65 or Series 7 exam, or who hold an active CFP candidacy, move to the front of the line even without client experience. Adjacent roles like bank relationship manager, insurance sales representative, or financial analyst provide a credible lateral move into advisory work.
Where can I find and apply to financial advisor jobs in Virginia?
You can find and apply to financial advisor jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings from employers actively hiring. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, preferred metro, and specialty, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
