Senior Financial Adviser – Established Client Portfolio
Chelmsford, Essex (Hybrid) | Up to £80,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
A respected, independent Wealth Management firm with an established reputation for delivering sophisticated financial planning to high-net-worth individuals and families. Award-winning, collaborative, and genuinely focused on client outcomes—not just hitting targets.
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to step into an established client portfolio from day one. You'll inherit a loyal client bank, eliminate the need for cold-calling or business development grind, and focus entirely on deepening relationships and identifying wealth planning opportunities. Full paraplanning support means you spend your time doing what you do best: advising clients.
Hybrid working and a supportive team culture make this an attractive proposition for experienced advisers looking for better work-life balance without sacrificing career progression.
Your Responsibilities
- Take ownership of and develop an existing, established client portfolio
- Deliver holistic, independent financial planning advice across pensions, investments, protection, and retirement planning
- Conduct regular client reviews and identify planning opportunities
- Build trusted, long-term client relationships through exceptional service
- Work collaboratively with paraplanning and administration teams to deliver outstanding client experiences
- Leverage the firm's referral network to grow your client base sustainably
- Ensure all advice meets FCA regulations and internal compliance standards
