Interested in Becoming A Financial Advisor?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of personal financial advisors is projected to grow 13% from 2023 to 2033, much faster than the average for all occupations. About 27,000 openings for personal financial advisors are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings will result from the need to replace advisors who retire or transfer to different occupations.
MXT Associates has connections nationwide with Financial Advising firms, Certification Programs and Insurance Firms that will help you become an advisor. No prior experience in the industry is required. Successful Advisors have analytical and interpersonal skills, and can explain complex financial concepts clearly and concisely. They should be adept with technology, able to work independently, and maintain the highest ethical standards.
What Do You Need To Know?
As a Financial Advisor you will help your clients manage their money, save for retirement, invest, prepare for their children’s future, protect their assets, and more. It’s your job to come up with the best financial plan for each of your clients. You’ll develop relationships that will see your clients through every stage of life, from just starting out, through retirement and estate planning.
Do I Need To Be Licensed?
Yes! To become a Financial Advisor, you will need to become registered through FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority). Each firm has their own requirements for employment, and full licensing can take place over months or even years. The most common licenses are SIE (Securities Industry Essentials), Series 6, Series 7, Series 63, and Series 66. Many advisors also earn the CFP (Certified Financial Planner) designation.
You must have the following licenses:
- SIE (SECURITIES INDUSTRY ESSENTIALS)
- SERIES 7
- SERIES 66
- LIFE AND HEALTH
