New Financial Advisors
Edward Jones is built on the philosophy that those who share in the work should share in the rewards. We won’t sugarcoat it. The first three years of a new financial advisor’s career are the toughest. But here’s where Edward Jones is different. We’ve put in place additional compensation, training and support to give you every opportunity to succeed. If you put in the work, you can reap the rewards.
A guided path for your career.
We don’t believe in “sink or swim” starts. You’ll have a paid, structured path to registration and licensure – and continue to grow through mentorship, support, and development opportunities. Your exam prep program includes study materials, resources, and a study team to help with costs covered by the firm. You’ll have access to paid training and mentorship during onboarding and throughout your career. We see this investment as part of our commitment to you — and one of the most meaningful advantages of building your career here.
ASSOCIATE TESTIMONIAL
I think the compensation structure Edward Jones provides to new financial advisors is amazing. It takes the weight off in the early years.
Betsy Rush
Financial Advisor
It’s the perfect balance between having the resources a large reputable firm offers, coupled with working autonomously like a business owner.

Earn what your impact deserves.
The best person to determine your earning potential is you. Our compensation and rewards program reflects the impact you make on clients, colleagues, and your community. From day one, you’ll be eligible for a supplemental salary, earning hourly compensation while you study for your licensing exams and learn to build your business. You’ll receive supplemental salary for the first five years, so you can focus on clients while you establish your practice. As your practice grows, our transparent, competitive compensation model and total rewards program are designed to recognize your contributions.
