Team Based Financial Advisor - Financial Synergy

Meaningful work. Rewarding career.

Make an impact providing expert financial advice with heart. Thrivent is a different kind of financial services firm, one that puts generosity at the center of saving and investing. Here, you’ll make an impact in the lives of the people you serve, helping them build, grow and protect financial well-being through purpose-based advice, investments, insurance, banking and generosity.

At Thrivent, you’ll receive the support, stability and opportunity of a Fortune 500 leader. We offer up to 14 weeks of paid training and coaching as you obtain your state insurance licenses (life, health & variable contracts), Series 7 and 66 registrations, and complete Thrivent’s comprehensive advisor onboarding program. After onboarding, you’ll have control over the income you earn, as you’ll be paid through commissions and incentives based on your success.

Team-Based Financial Advisor

Our financial advisors serve clients in new markets, creating opportunities for people who share our passion to enable clients to lead lives full of meaning and gratitude. By joining an existing team, you can leverage the diverse skill sets of

experienced financial advisors to serve more clients and accelerate the growth of your business. In this role, support and joint fieldwork opportunities will come directly from experienced financial advisors.

The Team-Based Financial Advisor position provides some stability of income and the ability to focus on learning and development rather than production. This model can accommodate candidates seeking their first opportunity, career changers, and professionals currently working in the financial industry, with the goal of joining the team as a financial advisor within three months to three years.

Licensing and Training

Candidates in the Team-Based Financial Advisor model will obtain the necessary licenses over the course of eight to 13 weeks (varies due to individual situations).

These licenses include:

• Resident state Life, Health and Annuity
• Securities Industry Essentials
• Series 6/63 or 7/66 (7/63 and 65).

After completing licensing, participants may enroll in a comprehensive training program lasting up to eight weeks.

What you can expect

After licensing and training, you’ll start building your book of business with the ultimate goal of joining the sponsoring team in the traditional financial advisor role within three months to three years. During this period, typical activities include:

Meeting with potential clients to build genuine, long-term relationships based on shared values and goals.

Empowering clients to make knowledgeable financial decisions about education, investments, insurance, and retirement.

Building a strong personal network through local nonprofits, churches, and businesses for future growth.

Developing skills and best practices to be a successful financial advisor.
