Financial Planner (Virtual-based solution)

The opportunity

As Progeny continues to evolve, we remain focused on expanding the ways we support clients and deliver flexible, high-quality advice. This has in turn led to the creation of our desk-based advice service, Progeny Compass. This team will support clients who have AUM expected to be between £150k and £400k, and/or less complex financial planning needs.

As a Financial Planner in the Progeny Compass team, you will be supported by our colleagues in T&C, Compliance and Regional Management, to assist you in providing effective financial planning for existing clients. You will advise Progeny clients in line with FCA rules and company procedures, whilst ensuring Progeny’s exceptionally high service standards are maintained.

It will be your responsibility to look after a client panel, booking in annual reviews, working with the Client Executive to prepare for the meeting (which will be held virtually via Teams where at all possible), carrying out the meeting and then following up with any relevant recommendations.

• Inheriting a range of clients to allow you to broaden your skills and expertise.
