Your Career, Your Track. This is a 1099 independent contractor position where you are in charge of your own career.

You are welcome to meet clients at our offices in Williamsburg and Newport News, but we generally work remotely. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself.

For example, consider the following: “The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 12.8% employment growth for financial advisors between 2022 and 2032. In that period, an estimated 42,000 jobs should open up.” “Public demand for financial planners is expected to increase in accordance with an ageing population, as more people want to plan for their hopefully longer retirements.” About 100 million Americans have either no life insurance or are underinsured.CHARACTERICTICS OF SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES:Strong Work Ethic.
