I will add that a series 6 is pretty limited. You can only sell mutual funds. With a series 7 you can deal with individual stocks and bonds also. This can be important when a client has mutual funds and individual securities. If you can't handle both it will limit your ability to market.

i agree with Veritas on this , but it can be time consuming to deal with individual issues of stocks and bonds and for most accountants and tax pros they do not have time in march to handle calls from cleints who want to liquidate intel and buy microsoft. If you get a series 6 then you should also look into a series 65 I believe which is an advisory license.
