You want to be a financial planner - but not yet. For now you want to pass more exams, learn more and be, well, more "ready". But at the same time you don't want to drift. 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.

You want to be a financial planner - but not yet. For now you want to pass more exams, learn more and be, well, more "ready". But at the same time you don't want to drift. 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.

Ouch. Glass ceilings hurt. You're ambitious and want to keep improving. But where you are there's no training, no advancement and no learning.You won't face those problems here. This is a company that grows and nurtures its own. A look at the profiles of its planners (including directors and partners) is testament to that. Part of a wider Chartered Accountancy business, a recent merger has led to a review of the paraplanning team. As financial planner numbers grow, so does the need for paraplanners and that's where you come in. When you join you'll have support whichever way you turn.

They get referrals from the tax and corporate finance teams. Your day to day work will be far from run of the mill. There are other nice touches too. Your voice will be heard. They've changed the structure of the team to ensure a positive dynamic between paraplanners and planners. You're encouraged to challenge the advisers if you believe there's a better solution. They're not put on pedestals. And that culture comes from the top down. This is a business where team representatives have regular meetings with Managing Partners. These meetings are a safe space for people to discuss issues and resolve them.How many businesses offer that? The package is on the healthy side with a starting salary of up to £40,000. There's also:o Agile/Hybrid Working: Enjoy the flexibility of core hours from 10 AM to 2 PM and two home working dayso 25 days holiday PLUS bank holidays, PLUS the opportunity to buy or sell up to 5 days (28 days on a training contract, with the opportunity to buy 5 days)o Employee recognition awardso New and improved programme for succession planning and supportive management structure to help you realise your potentialo Employee Assistance Programme: Access a free confidential 24-hour support service, including unlimited counselling sessions and virtual doctors available for you and your family HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:You'll have experience as an administrator within financial and either on the way to level 4 qualification or eager to start.You don't need to come from an IFA background as you're joining a firm that's all about training and development - an expert you will become.IO experience would be good but is not a pre-requisite. -Learning and development, progression and an excellent package combined with agile working.
