No consolidator. No restricted proposition. Proper independent advice.
This is a directly authorised, privately owned financial planning firm in North Leeds that has grown to more than £120m AUM, while staying genuinely independent.
You’ll join on a strong basic of up to c£65,000, inherit existing clients over time and have access to a proven multi-channel approach to generating new business.
There’s also an uncapped bonus structure and a clear framework for increasing your basic salary as your AUM and responsibilities grow.
So the proposition isn’t just about earning more from sales. It’s designed to reward both commercial growth and the quality of the client bank you manage.
Around £10m–£20m of existing AUM is expected to transfer once you’re through supervision and sign-off, so you won’t be starting from zero.
Alongside that, the firm generates leads and enquiries through referrals, professional connections, marketing, content and existing client activity. They still want someone commercially minded, but there is real support and structure behind the growth expectations.
THE JOB
You’ll take responsibility for an established portfolio of clients and provide proper long-term financial planning across areas such as pensions, retirement planning, investments, drawdown and cashflow planning.
There’s strong administration and paraplanning support, but this isn’t a role where advisers sit in a silo. It’s a relatively small, close-knit business, so they want someone who contributes, shares ideas and takes responsibility for the quality of the advice process.
As the team grows, there may also be scope to support and mentor less experienced colleagues.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
You’ll need at least two years’ experience advising in an independent financial planning environment, so you’re already comfortable with the wider product, platform and investment market.
A paraplanning background would be useful, but isn’t essential.
You’ll also need evidence that you can convert opportunities, grow AUM and build trusted long-term client relationships.
They’re looking for someone commercially minded and ambitious, but also detail-conscious, client-focused and collaborative.
