About The Role...

At Cooper Parry Wealth we want to be the best. We’re a mould-breaking, bold decision-making, award-taking team. And we want you to join us.

The wealth management industry loves talking about the latest products that will make people rich. But we’ve flipped the traditional model on its head. Quite simply, we realised it’s broken and ineffective.

That’s why we made the bold decision to do things differently. To be the best at what we do. And this is your chance to be a part of it by joining one of the most successful financial planning firms in the UK.

As a Paraplanner, you’ll be a key player in servicing our existing clients. You’ll be behind the scenes making sure everything flows seamlessly. As part of a high performing team of Paraplanners you'll be working alongside our Relationship Managers, producing high quality annual preparation and accurate and compliant reports.

Other Day-to-day Responsibilities Include…

  • Provide a high level of technical support to Relationship Managers
  • Complete the preparation for client annual meetings
  • Complete an accurate and comprehensive analysis of client’s financial position
  • Creating cashflow modelling using Voyant Go
  • Construct the advice underpinning each financial plan
  • Responsible for the quality, accuracy and compliance of reports and advice
  • Correctly carrying out complex calculations e.g. inheritance tax, carry forward and tapered pension contributions

About You...

At Cooper Parry, we’re in it together. All we ask of our people is that they play all in. You’ll continuously strive to keep learning – whether you’re a trainee or a Partner – and you’ll be brave, stepping out of your comfort zone to tackle new challenges. Above all, be nice. A simple notion, but an irreplaceable part of what makes CP, CP.

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.
