****Financial Planner - Reading, £55k - £85k, basic salary plus bonuses - realistic take home pay £100k in year 1. Manage some client from the Managing Director and generate new business from established Lead mechanism****

I am recruiting for a boutique Independent Financial Advice firm with a presence across the Thames Valley who I have met and placed 8 members of staff with. They offer whole of market advice on Pensions, Investments, Tax Planning, IHT, Trusts, Mortgages, and some Protections. They prefer to do holistic financial planning rather than transactional pieces of work. They have built a very good reputation locally and they are on course to obtaining their Chartered status as a business.

Their clients are a mix of working professionals, wealth accumulators, business executives, retirees and HNW families with very substantial assets to be managed. The highest net worth cases have over £1m to invest. Business is busier than ever with 150+ clients in their current setup, and this is growing through referrals and recommendations. They have enough business and high-quality leads coming into their inboxes that they cannot convert due to how busy they are, so there is very substantial untapped business to be had.

They have ambitions to expand the business greatly over the next 3 -5 years by doubling their staff count and AUM. They have no intention of joining a larger national firm and be acquired, they wish to remain wholly independent . The business prides itself on using the latest tech and giving their staff high quality equipment to complete their jobs to the highest quality and in the most efficient manner and they are investing heavily in staff development via the industry exams and on the job training.

A brand-new role within the business is being created for an established Financial Adviser either Chartered or on their way to Chartered with a background in an independent firm. The successful candidate will be given access to all the incoming enquiries and leads to manage and convert into new business. These potential cases have considerable assets to be managed which the fees would more than covers an advisers’ salary with the potential to earn 6 figure take home pay in year 1.

The role will be office based. You will have your Level 4 Diploma and be Chartered or studying towards this. My client can offer a very secure and rewarding role, with an excellent benefits package and bonus structure including pensions, death in service and very substantial earning potential. The MD is looking to offer between £55k - £85k basic salary based on your experience + bonuses with substantial earnings on top for any initial fees you generate in year 1 then bonuses for fee generation from year 2 onwards. The MD also has enough business which he needs to offload to a new adviser.

If this role sounds of interest or any others I am working on please get in touch.
