Job description

Who We Are

Strategies for Wealth is one of the most successful firms in the Guardian Wealth Network, with flagship offices in New York City and Westchester County. For decades, we’ve taken an uncommon approach to financial services - one built on:

• Comprehensive planning across insurance, investments, and estate strategies
• Deep coaching and mentorship for career changers

We’re known for developing high-achieving professionals from outside the industry into elite Financial Advisors, supported by:

• Structured training
• Direct mentorship from senior advisors
• A culture built on community, collaboration, and life by design

This is not a sales job with a script.

It’s a professional, entrepreneurial career path with real upside.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Learning how to analyze financial information including income, assets, cash flow, and long-term goals
• Developing customized financial strategies based on each client’s stage of life and priorities
• Building your own client base through relationships, referrals, and community presence — not cold calling
• Advising individuals, families, and businesses across a wide range of financial situations
• Working closely with senior advisors and leadership who coach you step-by-step
• Participating in structured training and fast-track development programs
• Growing long-term client relationships that compound year over year
• Developing into a trusted advisor with increasing autonomy and earning power

This is relationship-driven, performance-based work with a long-term payoff.

Who Succeeds Here

We’re looking for someone whose skills have outgrown their current role - someone with what we often call “batteries included.”

You Bring

• Strong communication and people skills
• Discipline, grit, and follow-through
• Comfort in a performance-based, entrepreneurial environment
• Curiosity around money, planning, and strategy
• Coachability and openness to feedback
• A desire to build something meaningful and long-term

Backgrounds that often do well here include

• No prior financial services experience required.

Licensing & Training

• Life & Health insurance licensing is completed first (typically 2–3 weeks)
• Securities licensing (SIE / Series 7 / 66) is fully supported and expected within your first 6 months
• Training, study resources, and mentorship are built into the process

The first year requires real effort - and it’s designed that way.

Compensation & Growth

• Commission-based opportunity across insurance and investment solutions
• Typical first-year earnings range: $100,000–$150,000
• Income grows through renewals, recurring revenue, and expanded client relationships
• Long-term upside includes mid-to-high six-figure and ultimately seven-figure earning potential for top performers

This role is best suited for people willing to bet on themselves.

• Aspiring financial advisors are expected to be in-office 3–4 days per week initially
• High-energy, professional environment with daily access to leadership and mentors
• Advisors operate with autonomy - there are no “vacation requests” - but results matter
• Culture emphasizes accountability, collaboration, and continuous development

The Hiring Process

We run a rigorous but efficient process and move fast for the right people. Some candidates complete the process in as little as 10 days.

Why Join Strategies for Wealth

• Clear runway to six figures and beyond
• Real mentorship - not theory or empty promises
• Proven track record of developing aspiring financial advisors
• Strong team culture with nationally recognized leadership
• A career where effort compounds and results are earned
• A true life-by-design opportunity
