Shropshire

With a strong bias towards complex pensions and investment planning, this niche professional firm of IFAs position themselves as holistic fee-based financial planning experts within the HNW arena. Typically, their clients are business owners and extremely wealthy individuals.

Acting as a 'technical centre of excellence' within the firm, you will play a critical role in the provision of financial planning and advice to wealthy clients with less than straightforward financial situations, such as pension and retirement options with large pension funds or investment portfolios. Providing a crucial support role to the principal financial planner, you will be expected to produce high level, quality research and evidence based solutions. You will be given a great deal of autonomy in what tools you use and be expected to be familiar with CRM and back office systems. The position will suit someone who likes working with technically competent planners and attending meetings but it is not intended at this time that you will have a large amount of direct client contact.  The position will also suit someone who does not want to give advice but wants a career as a crucial support advisor to no more than two financial planners.

CFP/FPC qualified as an absolute minimum and ideally studying or having attained DipPFS/ AFPC, you will be technically competent in all areas of financial planning in addition to the full Paraplanning process. Typically, your experience will have been gained from a professional practice or an IFA. Basic salary is between £30,000 - £45,000 in addition to company benefits and the opportunity to earn bonus.
