We take a personal approach to business that starts with a face-to-face meeting between a Financial Advisor and an individual investor.

What leads to success as a Financial Advisor?

Edward Jones believes in doing business the old fashioned way, face to face. When starting out, our Financial Advisors spend most of their time in the communities they serve, making face-to-face contacts in neighbourhoods and with businesses, introducing themselves and Edward Jones. They spend time getting to know their clients, their investment needs and their objectives. Then they recommend the appropriate investments and services on an individual and personal basis. A strong sales and/or management background compliments the Edward Jones business model. We frequently find that individuals with a solid sales or management history thrive as Financial Advisors because they understand the commitment and relationship building skills that are crucial to establishing long-term clients.

- Help clients to determine financial and investment needs, and utilize sales skills to effectively recommend suitable financial products

- Become knowledgeable in an array of financial products to suit a variety of objectives and risk levels

- Earn commissions, bonuses, and incentive travel based on your production

- Receive world-class financial and business development training
