Financial Advisor

First Command was founded in 1958 by a retired military officer committed to helping service members and their families improve their financial well-being. Today, hundreds of First Command Financial Advisors—many of whom are veterans or military spouses—are dedicated to our mission of “Coaching those who serve in their pursuit of financial security." Financial Services Careers | First Command

Our Houston team is committed to helping military families, veterans, government employees, and aerospace professionals achieve financial security. We proudly serve individuals and families connected to Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base, the Texas Air National Guard's 147th Attack Wing, U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Houston, and NASA Johnson Space Center. As we continue to grow, we are seeking a transitioning service member, veteran, military spouse, or service-minded professional who is passionate about serving others and interested in building a rewarding career as a Financial Advisor.

Through decades of experience, we have found that successful Financial Advisors share several key characteristics:

• A genuine desire to help others succeed.
• Strong leadership and coaching abilities.
• The ability to build trust and long-term relationships.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and commitment to professional growth.
• A passion for serving military, government, and professional communities.
