Can a person become a finance adviser with a manslaughter record?

I know of no law governing "finance adviser" in general. If you are wanting to obtain a particular license, you should direct your question to the authority that issues that license. For example, if finance adviser requires you to be licensed by the Insurance commissioner, ask them this question. Other that the licensing law, I know of no law governing decisions to not hire or to discharge for falsification of an employment application, or what is lawfully required to be disclosed. What ever the employer says is final. No right to sue, no right to appeal, etc. You should look closely at the question asked, and then be truthful. I have seen valuable employees of 20+ years discharged for minor crimes that were not disclosed on the employment application. While many employees will overlook minor events, they will not overlook dishonest answers on the employment appl. When in doubt, disclose. You may receive a copy of your criminal history report.
