Specialists in one industry, and nothing else.
Financial planning and asset management is the only market we work, so we know who is good, who is moving and what they will actually accept — which is the number you just looked at, from the other side.
- One market, since 2012No generalists. Every consultant works financial planning or asset management and nothing else.
- A shortlist, not a long oneYou get the people who fit the brief and would move for it — with the reasons, in writing.
- Named directors, direct linesYou deal with the director who manages the account and the team working your role, not a call centre.

A director on every desk.
