About WealthBridge Financial Group:

WealthBridge Financial Group is a wealth management firm with over 175 years of history helping clients navigate life's financial complexities with confidence and clarity. Our mission: To Do Good — in our communities and for the families we serve. We Are Change Navigators. Specialties: Premium Financing, Digital Marketing, CPA Alliances, Advanced Planning . We are expanding across Arizona. Backed by National Life Group (A+ AM Best); securities and investment advisory services through Equity Services, Inc. (FINRA/SIPC). People. Impact. Outcome.

The Opportunity:

We are hiring driven career changers in Tucson, Oro Valley, Marana, Green Valley, Sahuarita, Nogales, Lake Havasu City, Kingman, and Bullhead City. Candidates work directly with the regional Managing Director. No prior financial services experience required. This is a rare chance to join a growing regional practice during its build phase. The advisors who join now will anchor the communities we serve for the next decade.

What you'll do:

• Develop comprehensive financial plans across the 7 planning areas: protection, savings, tax strategy, retirement income, debt management, estate planning, and education funding.
• Serve Southern Arizona's diverse client base — Tucson's university, tech, healthcare, and defense economy; Pima County's retiree market in Oro Valley, Green Valley, and Sahuarita; Lake Havasu's seasonal-resident and small-business market; the Santa Cruz County border market around Nogales and Rio Rico.
• Build a personal book of business — owned by you from day one, with no binding non-solicitation.
• Participate in the New Associate Program's weekly coaching sessions and structured daily activity framework.

Activity framework:

WealthBridge's New Associate Program follows a structured daily activity framework: consistent prospecting, client meetings, applications, and follow-ups, with weekly accountability through the program team. Activity volume is paired with quality measures — persistency, client retention, and suitability review — so that quantity without quality does not advance producers through the compensation structure. Specific production expectations are reviewed during Discovery and formalized at contracting.

Arizona licensing is fast:

Arizona does not require a pre-licensing course. Register directly with PSI (psiexams.com), study 1–2 weeks, test, and be licensed in under 30 days typical. We guide you through every step.

Industry compensation reference:

Per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS), May 2024, for SOC 13-2052 (Personal Financial Advisors, national, including commissions and production bonuses): 10th percentile $49,990; median $102,140; 75th percentile $172,540; 90th percentile top-coded at $239,200 or higher; mean annual wage $160,210. Arizona state-level estimates are available at bls.gov/oes; Arizona earnings for this occupation typically fall near the national distribution.

WealthBridge firm-wide good-faith earnings estimate (commission-based, 1099):

WealthBridge Financial Group's currently-live New York entry-level Workable posting discloses a good-faith range of $80,000 to $115,000 yearly for first-year new associates. This is the firm's pay-transparency disclosure for new associates; it represents an earnings estimate (not a salary) for commission-based 1099 broker affiliated production. New advisors typically begin in the lower portion of the range during the licensing and ramp period (commonly months 1–12) and scale up as activity, persistency, and book development compound. As 1099 independent contractors, new associates are responsible for their own health insurance, retirement savings, and self-employment taxes; WealthBridge provides the carrier platform, training, mentorship, and required-license sponsorship.
