Wealth Advisor Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a wealth advisor in Tennessee?
To practice as a wealth advisor in Tennessee, you must register as an Investment Adviser Representative through the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance, which oversees securities licensing in the state. Most candidates pass the FINRA Series 65 exam or hold a qualifying credential such as a CFP, CFA, or CPA that waives the exam requirement. A bachelor's degree in finance or a related field is the standard educational floor for most Tennessee employers.
How much do wealth advisors make in Tennessee?
Wealth advisors in Tennessee earn a median of about $84,160 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $44,170 for the lowest 10% to over $406,200 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire wealth advisors in Tennessee?
Employers hiring wealth advisors in Tennessee right now include Truist, U.S. Bank, and Goldman Sachs, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Tennessee's mix of regional banks, independent registered investment advisors, and insurance-affiliated broker-dealers means openings appear across a broad range of firm types and client markets.
Which Tennessee cities have the most wealth advisor jobs?
Nashville, Memphis, and Germantown account for the largest share of wealth advisor openings in Tennessee. Nashville dominates as the state's financial and corporate headquarters hub, drawing the most private wealth and institutional advisory roles, while Memphis benefits from a concentration of regional bank headquarters and trust companies, and Knoxville reflects demand from the growing professional population of East Tennessee.
Are there remote wealth advisor jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, though they are less common than in purely analytical roles because wealth advising depends heavily on in-person client relationships and trust-building. About 40% of wealth advisor openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and the positions most likely to offer flexibility are financial planning analysts, paraplanning roles, and portfolio review specialists rather than primary client-facing advisor seats.
How can I get hired as a wealth advisor in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is joining a regional bank or broker-dealer as a client services associate or financial planning paraplanner, roles that Pinnacle Financial Partners, First Horizon, and similar Tennessee institutions post regularly for candidates without a full advisory book. Passing the Series 65 exam before applying gives you a concrete edge over unlicensed candidates. From there, internal associate advisor programs at larger firms provide a supervised path to building your own client relationships and eventually moving into a full advisor seat.
Where can I find and apply to wealth advisor jobs in Tennessee?
You can find and apply to wealth advisor jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state right now. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, preferred city, and specialty, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
