Job description

Please Note: This opportunity is not a direct position with Cetera Financial Group. Accepted applicants will become affiliated with Cetera Investment Services LLC (marketed as Cetera Financial Institutions or Cetera Investors), a broker-dealer that supports and grows wealth management programs on bank or credit union premises.

What if your next advisor opportunity gave you more than a payout?

Build your practice with a bank that has been investing in its customers, employees, and communities for generations.

Founded in 1872 under Arkansas’s first national bank charter, FNB of Fort Smith offers something increasingly rare: the scale and opportunity of an established financial institution combined with the long-term mindset of a privately owned community bank. The bank has deep roots in Fort Smith, including its historic downtown headquarters, and a culture where long employee tenure and community involvement are part of its identity.

Through Cetera Financial Institutions, FNB is seeking an experienced, relationship-driven Financial Advisor who wants to build and grow a wealth management practice within this established banking environment.

What You’ll Do

As a Financial Advisor, you’ll develop relationships with current and prospective bank customers, understand their financial priorities, and provide appropriate wealth management solutions.

You will:

• Build and grow a client base through bank relationships, referrals, and external business development


• Meet with clients to understand their goals, assets, income, investments, debts, and risk tolerance


• Recommend appropriate investment and insurance solutions based on client needs


• Develop strong internal referral relationships across the bank


• Identify opportunities to expand and deepen client relationships


• Provide a high level of service while operating within FNB and Cetera policies and regulatory requirements


• Maintain required licenses, registrations, and continuing training

What We’re Looking For

• FINRA Series 7 and 63


• Strong relationship-building, sales, and business-development skills


• At least two years of experience in financial services, banking, insurance, or a related sales environment


• A self-motivated advisor who enjoys developing relationships and building a business


• High school diploma or equivalent

Compensation & Ownership

• Competitive Base salary and incentive structure


• Incredible benefits, employee ownership through the ESOP, and generous retirement contributions.

Backed by Cetera Financial Institutions

As an FNB Financial Advisor, you’ll also have access to Cetera Financial Institutions’ wealth management platform, technology, training, marketing resources, operational support, and transition assistance.

If you’re an advisor who wants to grow a practice while becoming part of a bank and community for the long term, we’d like to hear from you.
