About Our Client
Our client is part of one of the UK's leading specialist financial planning groups, bringing together some of the country's finest independent financial planners, technical experts, and investment professionals under one national umbrella. With a network of offices across the UK and a shared purpose of enriching clients' lives, they combine the scale, resources and technical depth of a national group with the personal touch and reputation of a well-established local business.
Their advisers work on an independent, whole-of-market basis, providing bespoke, life-centred financial planning to a broad range of clients - from individuals and families to business owners - covering everything from retirement and investment planning to inheritance tax and estate planning. They are proud of their collaborative culture, commitment to the highest regulatory and professional standards, and genuine investment in their people's development.
Joining them means becoming part of a supportive local team, backed by the infrastructure, technical resource and career opportunities of a much larger, growing organisation.
The Role
Our client is looking for a talented Paraplanner to join their team and provide excellent technical support to their Advisers. You'll play a key role in delivering high-quality research, accurate financial planning reports, and comprehensive cashflow modelling that helps their clients achieve clarity and confidence in their financial future.
