Continuing Education

Successful financial advisors constantly strive to expand their knowledge and hone their skills. As such, we emphasize ongoing educational opportunities for advisors at all experience levels. In addition to tuition reimbursement for advanced degrees and industry certifications, we have several exceptional internal programs to help you enhance your abilities and add value to your practice. Among them is the Raymond James Institute of Finance, which offers specialized training in various disciplines, such as financial and investment planning, retirement plan consulting, insurance, and trust services.

Support in Your Local Office

Working in a branch office means you’ll receive the personal attention of your branch manager while also benefiting from the experience of working with others whose professional interests are similar to your own. In addition, our support staff to financial advisor ratio is one of the highest in the industry. You’ll receive assistance from the professionals at our international headquarters, support from regional managers whose focus is on helping you succeed and, often, the guidance of a mentor within your branch who can help you effectively build your practice. You’ll also have direct access to an operations manager, a technology liaison and service associates who can help you leverage Raymond James’ resources – giving you more time to focus on your clients and your practice.

Competitive Compensation with Unlimited Potential

Being a financial advisor is a relationship-based sales position and your pay will be based on the commissions and fees you receive for managing your clients’ accounts. However, to support you as you begin your career, you’ll receive an initial salary that reflects the demands of becoming a top-quality financial advisor. In addition, Raymond James provides a variety of incentive-based opportunities, as well as superior corporate benefits, including a 401(k) with contribution matching features; equity participation through our employee stock ownership; profit sharing and incentive stock option plans; and medical, life and disability insurance.
