According to Orman, as an investment novice, she invested that money through a representative at Merrill Lynch, who promptly lost her entire investment in trading options. Later, Orman trained as an account executive for Merrill Lynch, where she reports that she learned that the type of investment her broker had put her in was not suitable for her needs, as option trading is considered a high-risk but high-reward investment suitable only for high net worth individuals. Orman further asserts that it was explained to her that because her broker was the highest producing representative in the office, his actions went unchecked. After completing her training with Merrill Lynch, she remained at the firm until 1983, when she left to become a vice president of investments at Prudential Bache Securities.

In 1987, Orman resigned from Prudential and founded the Suze Orman Financial Group, in Emeryville, California.{{cite news|title=How Emeryville became a boom town|work=USA Today|date=June 13, 1988|page=8B|url=http://infoweb.newsbank.com/iw-search/we/InfoWeb?p_product=AWNB&p_theme=aggregated5&p_action=doc&p_docid=0ED02A6F0FCB2CCA&p_docnum=1&p_queryname=9}}{{cite news|title=Catastrophic Coverage Raises Some Questions|work=The Times-Picayune|location=New Orleans, Louisiana|date=May 9, 1989|first=Jay|last=Goldinger|page=E4 |url=http://infoweb.newsbank.com/iw-search/we/InfoWeb?p_product=AWNB&p_theme=aggregated5&p_action=doc&p_docid=0FADA1870A704F01&p_docnum=3&p_queryname=11}} While there, she published a booklet, The Facts on Single Premium Whole Life, which compared single-premium whole life, universal life, and single-premium deferred annuities; she distributed copies of the booklet for free to anyone who requested one.{{cite news|title=Closed-end Funds Offer Good Value for the Investor|work=The Times-Picayune|location=New Orleans, Louisiana|date=September 19, 1989|page=D3|first=Jay|last=Goldinger|url=http://infoweb.newsbank.com/iw-search/we/InfoWeb?p_product=AWNB&p_theme=aggregated5&p_action=doc&p_docid=0FADA0310C91E9E0&p_docnum=5&p_queryname=3}} She was director of the firm until 1997.{{cite news|last=Andriani|first=Lynn|title=The Dollars and Sense of Suze Orman|work=Publishers Weekly|date=2003-02-24|url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA278785.html?display=archive|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080920223930/http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA278785.html?display=archive|archive-date=2008-09-20|access-date=2008-01-25}}

In a 2008 interview with Larry King, she said she favors the policies of the Democratic Party and Barack Obama, especially regarding people in same-sex relationships.{{cite news|url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0801/02/lkl.01.html|work=CNN|title=Larry King Live|format=transcript|date=2008-01-02|access-date=2008-06-30|archive-date=2008-10-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081013024336/http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0801/02/lkl.01.html|url-status=live}}

In 2012, Orman introduced the Approved prepaid debit card, which was backed by Bancorp Bank. The card generated a great deal of controversy for its hidden fees and false promise of contributing to a FICO score.{{Cite news|last=Wasik|first=John|date=2012-01-17|title=COLUMN: The troubling fine print of Suze Orman's prepaid card|language=en|work=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-column-wasik-idUSTRE80D03220120117|access-date=2021-07-08|archive-date=2020-05-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200515104335/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-column-wasik-idUSTRE80D03220120117|url-status=live}} Cardholders were charged a $3 monthly fee, as well as fees for check writing and customer service calls. The Approved card's features included credit reports and credit scores from TransUnion, as well as credit monitoring and identity theft protection. TransUnion also agreed to "examine data from Approved cards", which was unusual for prepaid debit cards, but did not factor the card's usage into the cardholders' FICO scores. In July 2014, the Approved card was discontinued.{{cite news|first1=Ron|last1=Lieber|access-date=2019-03-18|title=Suze Orman to Offer Her Own Prepaid Debit Card|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/09/your-money/suze-orman-to-offer-her-own-prepaid-debit-card.html|newspaper=The New York Times|date=9 January 2012|issn=0362-4331|via=NYTimes.com|archive-date=2019-03-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190302111759/https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/09/your-money/suze-orman-to-offer-her-own-prepaid-debit-card.html|url-status=live}}{{cite news|first1=Ron|last1=Lieber|access-date=2019-03-18|title=Suze Orman's Approved Prepaid Debit Cards Are Quietly Discontinued|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/17/business/suze-ormans-approved-prepaid-debit-cards-are-quietly-discontinued.html|newspaper=The New York Times|date=16 June 2014|issn=0362-4331|via=NYTimes.com|archive-date=2019-02-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190215025320/https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/17/business/suze-ormans-approved-prepaid-debit-cards-are-quietly-discontinued.html|url-status=live}}
