Entry Level Registered Client Associate Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level registered client associate job?
Start by pursuing your Series 7 and Series 66 licenses, since most firms require or strongly prefer them even at the entry level. Internship experience at a brokerage, bank, or wealth management firm gives you a concrete edge. Highlight any client-facing work, attention to detail on compliance tasks, and familiarity with CRM platforms on your resume to show you can hit the ground running.
Which companies hire entry level registered client associates?
Companies hiring entry level registered client associates right now include Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and Stifel, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes primarily from large wirehouses, regional broker-dealers, and independent registered investment advisors who regularly onboard new graduates into client service and operations support roles.
Are there remote entry level registered client associate jobs?
Yes, though most postings still lean on-site at this level. About 0% of entry level registered client associate openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with hybrid schedules more common than fully remote. Firms typically prefer new associates in the office early on to support licensing, compliance training, and hands-on client service learning.
Are these new grad registered client associate jobs?
Yes, many of these openings are explicitly new grad and junior roles that welcome candidates with little or no prior experience. A new-grad-friendly posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or college co-ops toward that threshold, or lists a relevant degree and licensing eligibility as the main requirements rather than demanding a long work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level registered client associates?
Entry Level registered client associate roles concentrate in Banking & Financial Services and Investment & Asset Management, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at the junior level because high client volume, regulatory requirements, and ongoing advisor team growth create consistent demand for associates who can handle documentation, communication, and account support tasks.
