Although there is no shortage of financial advisors, not everyone is qualified to be an MSTC advisor. Your clients expect the best service, and, quite frankly, we demand the best from our financial advisors.
Put bluntly, if you’re simply looking for a passive, inactive broker/dealer, MSTC is not for you. If, however, you’re looking for an active, growing, and stable broker/dealer that is genuinely interested in helping you obtain success, then MSTC is your choice.
We currently have openings for qualified financial advisors who will oversee and develop an investment services division in a financial institution setting. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced advisor looking to join a company that offers superior support and ongoing professional development.
The ideal candidate will be passionate and well-versed in financial planning services. He or she should be a self-starter who likes to take initiative and work independently yet collaboratively with other team members. The organization has a strong planning team that will support the candidate with competitive planning tools. The role affords tremendous upside potential both financially and for career growth.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree or equivalent work experience • Currently working in the industry • Strong Communication Skills • Great Work Ethic • FINRA Series 7 & 66 licenses, or within first year of employment • Life, Health, Disability, Long Term Care Insurance licenses • CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification, CHFC, and other designations a plus
Are you ready to take your career to the next level and become an independent financial advisor? Or are you already independent but looking for a broker/dealer that will give you the kind of service you deserve? If you said yes to either of these questions then we may be the partner you are seeking.

We are dedicated to keeping you complaint and advise you of upcoming compliance landscape changes. Our goal is not to keep you minimally compliant; it is to help you consistently exceed your standard of care to your clients.
The principals at MSTC place a high value on professional development and continuing education. That is why MSTC is always taking an active role in helping advisors reach the next level. We provide coaching sessions to new advisors and those who need help growing their business and advising clients.
We hold quarterly meetings that feature professional speakers discussing current trends and topics that are of interest and value to our financial advisors. They also feature case studies and in-depth discussion of the when, why and how to use solutions presented by our speakers. However, one of the greatest benefits of our advisor meetings is the opportunity they provide to meet other financial advisors and discuss best practices with them in person.
We also host monthly conference calls that feature timely topics that can help advisors boost their knowledge and gain ideas that can help them grow their business.
We have been advisors and know the obstacles you face. That’s why when we find a marketing strategy that works, we pass it along to you. Whether it be print, electronic, or any other form of media, we provide quick turnaround in approval of marketing materials. We offer a compliance-approved Morningstar newsletter article for free every month that financial advisors can use to market themselves to clients and prospects. Through our subsidiary company, Lighthouse Financial Institution Marketing Solutions, you can also purchase fresh marketing campaigns to help you stand out and get noticed.
We provide you the opportunity to access tools you may need to better advise your clients, and run your business. Either in-house or through our partner relationships, our reps have access to the cutting edge in technology and advisory tools.
We have a highly educated back office support staff who are dedicated to providing our financial institutions and representatives the outstanding service they deserve. Each financial advisor is assigned a Service Coordinator who is available to help them with any inquiry they have. You know who you’re talking to when you call MSTC and will feel confident in the answers we provide.
We believe in doing business honestly, ethically, and always compliant with industry standards. Our compliance department is devoted to staying ahead of the regulatory issues that arise quite frequently in the ever-changing securities industry.
Our compliance department also is dedicated to giving our financial institutions and representatives a quick 48-hour turnaround for any questions or concerns they might have. We strive for a compliance friendly environment where our compliance department is viewed as an asset not something to fear. We currently have no regulatory blemishes on our records and strive for excellence to keep it that way.
