You want a plan, a strategy. For a company to tell you how your career will develop with them and when you'll be a financial planner. Vague promises won't do.If your current firm can't do that, this one can.At this Chartered IFA business you'll start as an administrator. But you'll develop into a paraplanner (or Client Manager is a more accurate term given the client interaction you'll have). And if you want to be a planner they can make that happen in roughly five years time. And they can deliver on this because they've already done so with four other people before you. All joined to provide support to the planning team but all three are now at varying stages of their advice career. To start with you'll work with senior planners who will help unlock your potential whilst you support them day to day. In the medium term you'll spend more and more time with clients, attending every meeting with your planner. And all the while, the focus will also be on developing your soft skills so that you can become an adviser. Alongside being acquisitive, this firm are growing organically at 20% a year anyway. So whilst advice won't happen in the short-term, the resources to do it well and successfully will be in place once you're ready. Starting salary will depend on the individual and be up to c£28,000. Alongside that your pay will be under review - as you develop your career so your salary will increase. Plus there's a bonus scheme and benefits package. The firm also operates flexi-working Monday-Thursday 8am-5pm or 9am-6pm with a half day finish on Friday (1pm). It's not quite a 4 day week but it certainly extends your weekend.
