Financial Advisor

Howard Bailey Financial, Inc., we are a 100-year company that will continue to make a positive impact in the lives of our clients, team members, and community for the next century. Our purpose that spans all our stakeholders is to Grow People, Who Grow People. Our client focus is on helping our clients establish financial freedom through meaning and purpose. We carry the flag for the Midwest, and we are proud to call Indiana our home. Our dedication to our mission, purpose, and core values is what makes the continued growth of Howard Bailey possible. We are a collective of humble, dynamic, and goal-driven advisors, client service, operations, and marketing professionals who strive to deliver and uphold our brand promises.

We are differentiated by our extensive investment in our brand and marketing that covers books, reading, radio, podcasts, seminars, meganars, social media, YouTube, and TV. These provide qualified leads so our Financial Advisors can focus their time and talent on building meaningful relationships and closing clients rather than cold calls and self-managed campaigns. Additionally, we provide leadership and oversight in the usage of our frameworks and techniques that are conducive to collaboration rather than competing with your colleagues.

We are looking for intrinsically motivated and talented Financial Advisors to help shape the future of our company. Candidates will have a high focus on relationship building and proven experience in retirement planning using Fixed Index Annuity, Marketable Securities (specifically UMA/SMA sleeves), and Life Insurance products. Additionally, candidates will have a passion to develop a client base through closing leads and prospects that we provide through our investment in marketing. It is expected that you have excellent communication and presentation skills, or a high desire to develop them. Other ingredients for success are that you should be intrinsically motivated while being humble and be receptive to coaching and feedback
