Their clients typically have a minimum of £2 million in investable assets (ranging up to £30 million+). This is a unique role with a strong investment focus, rather than a traditional financial planning position.

• Have a minimum of 3-4 years’ experience in a similar role.
• Demonstrate a strong understanding of the financial planning process and associated compliance requirements.
• Be driven, detail-oriented, and able to complete tasks under pressure accurately and on time.
• Possess experience in report writing and be technically proficient across all areas of financial planning.
• Be skilled in using financial planning tools, financial modeling, and back-office software.
• Thrive in a team environment and be confident in interacting with clients and providers.
• Act as a main point of contact, effectively handling technical queries from clients and other stakeholders through excellent communication skills.

The team works with clients who typically have a minimum of £3 million in investable assets, with cases often involving international elements.

There’s also a strong emphasis on client interaction, which sets it apart from many paraplanning roles. One current Paraplanner shared that they’ve experienced a significant step-up in the level of responsibility and client engagement compared to previous roles. Package: The base salary is in the region of £50,000 - £55,000, with discretionary bonuses. The benefits package is comprehensive and includes excellent longer career development opportunities. Hybrid working is 3 days in the office and 2 from home.

This is a great fit for someone who is hardworking, ambitious, and confident in developing relationships with high-net-worth clients. The firm rarely sees turnover, highlighting its strong culture and supportive environment for those looking to advance their careers in wealth planning.
