Careers

Since The Beginning

We value teamwork, continuous improvement, integrity, accountability, and self-awareness.

When Burge Financial Engines was founded in 1997, we set out to improve the financial health and security of Middle-Income families nationwide. Today, our values have not changed, and our mission is more urgent than ever.

Accountability

To be successful you must always have the team’s best interest at heart. We support our agents and their families’ success, in the same manner, we fight to protect our clients.

Dedication

We are driven by our commitment to change the lives of clients and our agents. We are not moved by the “feeling” of doing good.

Fun

We love what we do! We get to work alongside great people, serve the needs of others, and increase our income with no restrictions! What’s not to love?

Teamwork

The best results come from the collaboration of different experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives.

Growth

To be at our very best we have made it a point of focus to increase our capacity in all areas. Not only in product offerings and training for our team, but also in compassion and understanding for our clients.

Integrity

Our character is derived from our consistent ability to meet the demands of an ever-changing financial landscape.

Tools For Growth

We work hard and value our work life balance. Check out our benefits below.

Tools For Success

Compensation

Know your worth
We believe that quality work should be rewarded. We also believe anything in life worth having must be earned. Earning a client’s trust, and their business, is a skill that is built from quality training and experience. Those that are willing to follow our training and learn our system are rewarded with an industry-leading commission structure with an aggressive promotion schedule. To the right, you will see an example of the commission an advisor makes on an average mortgage protection sale.

Quality Leads

Cold calling is simply not an efficient way to build a business quickly in financial services. Therefore, we don’t make our advisors find their clients or bother their family and friends to help build their business. We partner with top-rated companies that supply us with clients that are actively seeking help with the services we offer. Each of these clients has taken the time to fill out either a physical paper form or an online form.

Training

Practice makes perfect
Proper training and guidance are essential to success in any industry. We pride ourselves on creating quality content that can take someone with little to no financial advisor experience and help them create a long and fulfilling career. We have the resources, knowledge, and training to ensure anyone can learn this business and start increasing their earning potential fast!

Training begins with getting licensed. We have partners that offer online courses that you can take at your own pace. Our corporate sponsors provide many tools to accommodate any learning style. Video breakdowns, a glossary to explain terms, and many more resources are provided.

Once licensed, the new agent training is a combination of online videos, live Zoom courses, and one on one walkthroughs. We even have an entire website we call “The University” dedicated to every carrier and product we offer. That is a LOT of content! Finally, new advisors are given a mentor to help them navigate getting started in this business. We are dedicated to allocating every resource available to the success of our new advisors.

Mentorship

Experience is key
Mentoring is a critical piece to success in this industry. Our CEO Adam Burge became successful because of the leadership and guidance of his mentors. We are firm believers in mentorship and growth, and to this day we see it as more important than ever. This industry is growing and changing rapidly, and we want our advisors to win and win big with us! That’s why we have mentorship from the top to help our new advisors. Adam’s goal is to give you the same opportunity he had and help you to have a long and fulfilling career.

Growth Mentality

You’ll never receive worthwhile returns without investment. We approach each new advisor that joins our team with a growth mindset. We aim to grow the whole person, which will reflect in their business and career. This approach requires time, training, tools, and much more. When we find the right candidate we firmly believe investing in them will jumpstart their career.  That is why we make sure that they have all the necessary resources and tools to reach and exceed their goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

We know there is a lot to consider when researching a new industry. Below are the most common questions we receive from prospective applicants.

What if I can't commit to being a full-time advisor at first?

Whether you have other obligations that you must take care of or if you are coming into this industry brand new, our goal does not change. We are still focused on helping our clients and our advisors succeed. So, if this is something you can only do part-time for now, we have the structure in place to accommodate that.

Do I have to cold call or prospect?

No. We don’t do any cold calling and you won’t have to bug your family and friends. We want our advisors to have a fulfilling and successful career. We place our advisors in front of clients who are interested and looking for our services. Each of our clients has taken the time to fill out either a physical paper or online form.

How do I get started?

Getting started is a quick process for those who want to move fast. The first step is to get a Life and Health Insurance license. Every state requires this certification to speak to clients about financial products. We have corporate sponsorships that can help alleviate some of the start-up costs for obtaining the license. After passing your state exam, we get you appointed with a few of our top carriers and begin the onboarding process.

Is this a remote position?

Yes, our advisors have always worked remotely. There are advisors that have brick and mortar locations where other advisors can work and/or receive training, but there are no required office hours. Working remotely gives our advisors the freedom and flexibility to create a work/life balance that suits their needs.

This sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

We are partnered with over 40 insurance carriers. They are comprised of the largest and most reputable companies in the industry. The list includes Mutual of Omaha, Transamerica, AIG, and Blue Cross/Blue Shield to name a few. Our carriers trust us to represent them because we conduct our business with integrity and prioritize the needs of our clients.

Is there room to grow?

Absolutely. Financial literacy and security are as top of mind today than they have ever been. Recent events have forced families to confront the harsh realities of not having a smart financial plan in place. It is also an exciting time in the industry because we are amid an enormous transition of wealth in America. Many families are actively looking for advisors like you to help them create a plan to transfer their assets to the next generation. There is more room to grow as an advisor now than ever before!
