Chartered Financial Planner

We are working closely with a chartered financial planning firm during a period of sustained growth. This is a lifestyle planning business with a refreshing, modern approach. Every client receives goals-based, cash flow led advice, and the culture is genuinely down to earth. There are no egos and no old school sales tactics here. The firm holds chartered status, is certified to recognised quality and ISO standards, and runs on a clear, accountable operating model. It is well run, financially strong and growing steadily. The lead planner is at capacity and needs an experienced chartered planner to take on a meaningful share of an established client bank. This is a servicing role, not a sales seat.
