A salaried financial advisor provides wealth management and investment advice to clients. Your duties include helping each client make an investment plan that meets their needs and goals. You may also offer information about tax incentives and insurance options, performing analyses and creating reports using financial software. Financial advisors can recommend equities or funds for a client’s portfolio and typically earn a commission for selling financial and investment products, but salaried advisors receive a base salary and do not rely on commissions. You can, however, receive performance bonuses and other incentives.
