We're working with a highly respected, independent financial planning business in Cheshire East that is looking to appoint an experienced Paraplanner to join its growing team.
This is a genuine opportunity to become an integral part of the advice process rather than simply producing reports.

The Role
- Prepare high-quality suitability reports and recommendations
- Build and maintain detailed cashflow models
- Conduct technical research across pensions, investments, tax and protection
- Attend client meetings and contribute to planning discussions
- Work closely with Financial Planners and Administrators within a collaborative team structure
- Support ongoing client reviews and complex financial planning cases
