First Command Financial Jobs (NOW HIRING)

A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO STAY CONNECTED TO AND GIVE BACK TO THE MILITARY COMMUNITY

Who we are

First Command was founded in 1958 by a retired military officer committed to helping service members and their families improve their financial well-being. Today, more than 500 First Command Financial Advisors – four out five of whom are veterans or military spouses – are committed to the company’s Mission of “Coaching those who serve in their pursuit of financial security.”

Here in the Marine Corps Base Quantico and The Basic School Area, our team is committed to helping the Marine and Navy community get their financial lives squared away. In order to strengthen our ability to fulfill that commitment, we are now seeking to grow our team and have an immediate opening for a transitioning service member or veteran from the local area that are interested in pursuing a career as a Financial Advisor.

These qualities define a great First Command Financial Advisor

Contrary to popular belief, strong math skills are not the most important quality in a financial advisor! Our experience has led us to believe that the three most important qualities for our Advisors to possess are:

1.        Knowing and understanding the people they seek to serve.

2.        Possessing strong leadership and coaching skills.

3.        Having a genuine passion to serve.

That’s why we prioritize the hiring of veterans and military spouses to serve as First Command Financial Advisors, and why we are reaching out to the leaders here aboard MCB Quantico and TBS areas as we seek to fill this vital role in our organization.  So, if you like the idea of a second career that gives you the opportunity to stay connected to and give back to the military community, this just might be the right opportunity for you.  Lifelong learners with a strong internal drive, an entrepreneurial mindset and a desire for professional growth excel.
