If you’re the kind of adviser who builds deep relationships, puts clients first, and wants to help shape a growing firm — keep reading

We’re looking for an experienced Financial Planner who wants to build something. Someone who enjoys winning new clients, delivering exceptional advice, and shaping the future of a growing firm.

You will need commercial confidence, strong technical grounding, and the ability to build long term relationships built on trust. This isn’t a servicing role. It’s an opportunity to grow, influence and lead.

You’ll need high standards, emotional intelligence and the drive to improve what’s around you rather than simply maintain it.

What You’ll Be Doing

· Meeting new clients and building lasting relationships

· Designing and delivering holistic financial plans

· Generating and converting your own leads

· Working collaboratively with paraplanners and administrators to deliver exceptional client outcomes

· Mentoring and supporting team members as the business grows

· Continuously improving how we deliver advice

You’re the Right Fit if You…

· Have at least three years’ experience in a senior advisory role

· Are Diploma qualified as minimum (Chartered progression expected)

· Have a proven track record of generating and converting leads into long-term clients

· Believe in holistic financial planning rather than product pushing

· Own your outcomes and focus on solutions instead of making excuses

· Want to build something meaningful, not just hit targets

· Enjoy collaborating and contributing to a strong team culture

· Take a long-term approach surrounding clients and your own career

Make Life Count
We want to enjoy work, make it enjoyable for others, and make the most of life outside of work too.
