Worth knowing: Edward Jones, Stifel Financial, and Wells Fargo Advisors together employ roughly 30,000-35,000 St. Louis area finance professionals — making STL one of the country's largest concentrations of financial-services headcount outside NYC + Charlotte + Chicago. Reinsurance Group of America (RGA, Fortune 500, Chesterfield HQ) operates the country's third-largest life reinsurance organization, employing substantial actuarial + investment-portfolio analytics depth. Centene HQ Clayton (Fortune 25 health insurance, ~$165B revenue) employs a substantial corporate finance, FP&A, and treasury organization at Clayton campus. The MO 1% city earnings tax in St. Louis AND Kansas City applies to non-residents working in-city as well — a senior FA living in suburban Clayton or Webster Groves but working at Stifel downtown pays an additional 1% earnings tax. Edward Jones HQ at Maryland Heights (outside St. Louis city limits) and RGA HQ at Chesterfield avoid the city earnings tax — a 4.7% top marginal rate versus 5.7% for downtown St. Louis employers. CFA + MBA combination is the dominant senior-FA credential ladder in MO.
