Financial Advisor (Sales Focused)

Work with a Fortune 102 firm here in Montana. We are seeking new financial advisors to join our growing and highly productive practice. We specialize in recruiting “career changers” – these are professionals who have experienced success in one industry and may feel capped where they are and open to translating their skillset elsewhere. No financial advising experience is required; we have a robust training and development program.

A successful applicant has experience in business development or sales, is self-motivated, has strong interpersonal and communication skills, demonstrates a history of personal success, values professional independence, maintains a high standard of ethics, and shows interest in business, finance, or entrepreneurial ventures.
