Financial Planners Required across the UK Appointed representatives or Registered individuals IFA, Restricted or Hybrid   Recruit UK are pleased to be working in partnership with 2plan wealth management, we have looked behind the scenes at head office and spoken to existing advisers and we truly believe this is one of the best self-employed propositions available right now. One of the major things we see with financial advice companies is disjointed processes and antiquated technology, CRM’s that promise the earth but don’t deliver, a multitude of add-ons that come at an extra cost, a never-ending manual and a helpline that is far from helpful. The great thing about 2plan is they have designed their own software, built by advisers for advisers, automation is the heart of the process ensuring that marketing,  suitability letters, fact finds, product research and other integral parts of the advice process are quick and easy, you don’t even have to worry about opening your post. Software updates are run by an experienced IT team who also provide full training and 24/7 support you’re even provided with a tablet and pen for client visits to complete applications on or offline.  This is merely the tip of the iceberg, but to put it into perspective their time-saving technology frees up 1 day a week of adviser’s time and saves advisers c£2500 per month in extra costs in comparison to going directly Authorised. 2plan are incredibly flexible, if you want to work under the 2plan branding you can and they will build you a website and manage your social media, however, if you would prefer your own branding that’s perfectly OK.
