Location:

Tucson, AZ · Sierra Vista, AZ · Phoenix, AZ · Yuma, AZ · Albuquerque, NM · Alamogordo, NM · Las Cruces, NM · Clovis, NM

Employment Type:

Independent Contractor (1099) — Broker-Affiliated (Per National Life Group's career agency model: "As a life insurance agent you now own your own business. Although you may be affiliated with an agency, you are responsible for your paycheck and job security." Compensation is entirely commission-based with no employer-provided benefits. 1099 independent contractors are responsible for their own health insurance, retirement planning, and self-employment taxes. WealthBridge provides infrastructure, training, mentorship, the carrier-appointed platform, and sponsorship for required licensing — a business-to-business affiliation, not an employment relationship.)

The Opportunity:

WealthBridge serves communities near Davis-Monthan AFB (Tucson), Fort Huachuca (Sierra Vista), Luke AFB (Phoenix), MCAS Yuma, Holloman AFB (Alamogordo), White Sands (Las Cruces), Kirtland AFB (Albuquerque), and Cannon AFB (Clovis). Your military training — leadership under pressure, mission execution, discipline, client service orientation — translates directly into this profession.

We've seen former operators, pilots, engineers, logisticians, corpsmen/medics, and signal officers succeed as financial advisors. The traits that make good officers and NCOs are the same traits that make good advisors. Military spouses: this is also a portable career — your book moves with you if your family relocates, and state-to-state licensing reciprocity makes geographic transitions straightforward.

What you'll do:

• Full transition pathway — pre-licensing guidance, 4-week joint-field training, comprehensive mentorship.
• Licensing support — Arizona (no pre-licensing required), New Mexico (40-hour course), and any additional state(s) you want to serve.
• Compensation — industry-leading, production-tiered compensation; commission-based; book portability from day one; team override on First-Year Commissions (FYC) as you grow.
• VA-relevant markets — veteran community, military spouses, federal civilian retirees, DoD contractors: all high-value client segments where trust and shared background matter.

Industry compensation reference:

WealthBridge firm-wide good-faith earnings estimate (commission-based, 1099):

WealthBridge Financial Group's currently-live New York entry-level Workable posting discloses a good-faith range of $80,000 to $115,000 yearly for first-year new associates. This is the firm's pay-transparency disclosure for new associates; it represents an earnings estimate (not a salary) for commission-based 1099 broker affiliated production. New advisors typically begin in the lower portion of the range during the licensing and ramp period (commonly months 1–12) and scale up as activity, persistency, and book development compound. As 1099 independent contractors, new associates are responsible for their own health insurance, retirement savings, and self-employment taxes; WealthBridge provides the carrier platform, training, mentorship, and required-license sponsorship.
