Financial Advisor (Career Changers Encouraged to Apply / Training Provided!)

Do you want to build something of your own — or just have a job?
Precision Planning Group (PPG) – St. Louis, MO

This isn’t a typical financial advisor role — and it’s not for everyone.

At Precision Planning Group, you’re building your own business within a team that helps you grow it. The work is centered around relationships, conversations, and helping people make important financial decisions over time.

Precision Planning Group is a team of advisors within Northwestern Mutual, where you’ll begin developing your practice and building your business.

For the right person, it can be incredibly rewarding.

What This Role Really Is

At its core, this role is about working with people.

You’ll spend your time:

• Having conversations with individuals and families about their financial goals
• Understanding where they are and where they want to go
• Helping guide decisions around investments, protection, and long-term planning
• Building relationships that grow over time

This is not transactional work. It’s relationship-driven and built on trust.

How It Starts

Like any business, this one starts with conversations.

For most advisors, that begins with people they already know — friends, family, and existing connections — and expands over time through introductions, referrals, and new relationships.

We help you build this the right way so it feels natural and sustainable.

A Note on the Role

This isn’t a product-driven or high-pressure sales job.

That said, it does require the ability to lead conversations, build trust, and help people take action on important financial decisions.

If you’re comfortable talking with people, asking good questions, and guiding decisions, you’ll do well here.

How It Works

You’ll begin your career within Northwestern Mutual, where you’ll develop the core skills needed to build a successful advisory practice.

As you grow, you’ll do so within the Precision Planning Group environment — working alongside our team, learning from experienced advisors, and building your business in a more collaborative, supported setting.

While every advisor ultimately builds their own practice, the team you’re surrounded by — and how you develop — makes a meaningful difference.

What Makes PPG Different

Our advisors don’t just focus on one area of planning.

We work with clients across:

• Investments
• Insurance and risk management
• Tax-efficient strategies
• Long-term and legacy planning

We also emphasize long-term relationships — many of our advisors work with clients for decades as their lives evolve.

You’re not doing this alone. There’s real mentorship, collaboration, and support as you build your practice.

Who This Is For

This tends to be a strong fit for people who:

• Want to build something of their own
• Are comfortable having real conversations with people
• Take ownership of their results
• Are coachable and willing to learn
• Can stay consistent, especially early on

This is not a fit for someone looking for a highly structured role with a guaranteed path.

Compensation & Growth

This is a performance-based opportunity with strong long-term upside.

• First-year earnings typically range from $75,000 – $175,000
• Additional bonuses (up to $30,000) available in year one
• Long-term income potential grows significantly over time
• Residual income and renewal earnings
• Ability to build and eventually sell your book of business

We’ll walk through how this works in detail during our conversation.

Benefits

• Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance
• Life & Disability Coverage
• 401(k) with matching
• Licensing support and tuition reimbursement
