I’m looking for advice on career path. I’m interested in becoming an advisor (studying for CFP) coming from 3 years in hybrid FP analyst and paraplanner role. My team is located in CA and merged with a larger WA practice (both Ameriprise), however I live in Mass. Is it realistic to be a fully remote FA? Time zone not an issue. I really like my company and team, and there are FAs looking to give clients. I know I can find another practice in MA but I’d prefer to stay with my company. Thoughts?

I have two reps who live in other states, and it requires just fine. It largely depends on both your and the firm’s expectations. Compliance is perhaps the biggest issue. It sounds like the firm is already set up for remote arrangements.

What are your concerns?

Nothing wrong with that as long as you are bringing the value you need to the clients you serve. If your firm isn’t fully supportive of this and you have your own book, look for one that does. There are plenty. DM me if you want to
