Financial Planning Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a financial planning in Pennsylvania?
To work as a financial planner in Pennsylvania, you typically need a bachelor's degree in finance, economics, or a related field, followed by the appropriate FINRA licensing such as the Series 65 for investment advice. Pennsylvania does not issue its own standalone financial planner license, but investment advisers must register with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities. Earning the CFP designation from the CFP Board substantially strengthens your candidacy with most employers.
How much do financial plannings make in Pennsylvania?
Financial plannings in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $105,200 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $59,960 for the lowest 10% to over $392,900 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire financial plannings in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring financial plannings in Pennsylvania right now include BNY, QVC, and ATI, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Pennsylvania's dense concentration of financial services headquarters, regional banks, and insurance carriers means hiring activity is spread across both large firms and independent advisory practices throughout the state.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most financial planning jobs?
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Moon Township account for the most financial planning openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia dominates due to its headquarters-dense financial services corridor anchored by firms like Vanguard and Lincoln Financial, Pittsburgh draws hiring from large regional banks and wealth management firms, and Harrisburg benefits from proximity to state government pension and public finance work that supports advisory demand.
Are there remote financial planning jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, and more than many finance roles, since financial planning work is largely desk-based and client communication is increasingly conducted by phone or video. About 88% of financial planning openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting broad industry adoption of flexible arrangements. Roles focused on plan building, portfolio analysis, and financial modeling tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while client-facing relationship roles more often require in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a financial planning in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a paraplanner or financial planning associate role, which Pennsylvania's large advisory firms and banks regularly post as training positions. Firms like Vanguard in Malvern and PNC in Pittsburgh run structured new-hire development programs that bring in candidates with relevant degrees but limited direct experience. Earning your Series 65 before applying and building proficiency in eMoney or MoneyGuidePro gives you a measurable edge over other entry-level candidates in Pennsylvania's competitive market.
Where can I find and apply to financial planning jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to financial planning jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current Pennsylvania openings updated regularly. Search the available roles by location or specialty, find the ones that fit your background, and apply directly to each position through the listing.
