Our client is a highly respected, Chartered financial planning practice. They are directly regulated by the FCA and have built a strong reputation for providing clear, tailored advice to both private and corporate clients. The business continues to grow steadily and is now seeking an Independent Financial Adviser to join its established advisory team.
The Role
This is an opportunity to work in a fully independent, client-focused environment, supported by paraplanning and administration staff. The successful adviser will be introduced to clients over time, matched according to their expertise and style, ensuring a good fit for both parties.
The client bank typically consists of households with around £250,000 in investable assets, though larger relationships are available as senior advisers begin to reduce their portfolios. New business flows from introducer agreements with accountants and solicitors, as well as referrals across the advisory team. While there is no pressure to prospect, advisers who enjoy developing new introducers or generating business will be fully supported.
