About the Company
Our client is a modern, next-generation wealth management firm dedicated to helping individuals and families align their financial resources with their life goals. Their approach goes beyond investment management, delivering holistic planning that integrates investment strategy, tax efficiency, estate considerations, and risk management. The firm combines a personalised client experience with smart technology to provide transparent, proactive advice.
The Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Financial Planner to join a well-established and reputable wealth management firm, servicing an existing portfolio of loyal clients (AUM circa £60m).

You’ll have the flexibility to manage your diary while maintaining regular client contact. Attendance at the Lichfield office will be required occasionally for team meetings and collaboration.
There is no requirement to bring an existing client book, though planners with clients wishing to transition are of course welcome.
