Paraplanner With Immediate Route to Adviser – Succession Opportunity + Equity
Salary: £65k – £70k + Bonus and Benefits + Equity
Location: London
Are you a client-facing Paraplanner frustrated with the lack of clear progression in your current role, or the fact you’re not being given real exposure to clients despite having the experience and capability to do so?
This is an incredibly rare opportunity with a boutique wealth management firm based in the City, offering a clear long-term succession pathway, equity in the business, and the opportunity to step into an advisory role and ultimately take ownership of an established client base and run the business over time.
This is a relationship-led environment with a high-quality client base made up predominantly of City professionals (bankers, lawyers, accountants), with a strong focus on long-term financial planning and intergenerational wealth.
- You will work directly alongside the Managing Director, supporting on all aspects of client work while being fully embedded in client relationships from day one — not sat behind the scenes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

- Over the next 5 years, the intention is for the MD to gradually step back and transition client responsibility and leadership of the business to the right individual. This is a genuine structured succession plan, not a theoretical one, with equity on offer and increasing responsibility over time.

- Attend client meetings and act as a key point of contact
- Prepare meeting packs and support cashflow modelling (Voyant)
- Build relationships with HNW/UHNW clients and their families
- Develop relationships with the next generation of clients
- Gradually take ownership of long-standing client relationships
About You
- 3–5+ years’ experience in a client-facing Paraplanner role
- Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning
- Ideally already client-facing or regularly exposed to clients
- Confident working with HNW/UHNW clients
- Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build trusted long-term relationships
- Polished, professional, and commercially aware
- Keen to progress into a more senior, client-facing position over time

What’s On Offer
- £65,000 – £70,000 base salary + bonus
- Equity in the business
- Equity increases over time as responsibility grows
- Genuine succession pathway into ownership of a client book and the business
- Full client exposure from day one alongside the MD
This is a genuine long-term succession opportunity for a Paraplanner who wants more than technical support work. You will be embedded in client relationships, trusted with real responsibility, and developed into a future owner of the business.
If you’re looking for a clear route into seniority, client ownership, and eventually taking over a high-quality client base, this is one of the most compelling opportunities in the market.
