IFA Technical Administrator & Report Writer

IFA Technical Administrator & Report Writer: £40,000, a 4% annual bonus, 5% employer pension and 25 days holiday plus bank holidays. This is a technical administrator and report writer job for someone who wants to be the person the advisers actually come to, not the one sat at the back writing reports for people you barely speak to. About the firm: A well-established wealth management practice in Knutsford, in the region of £300m AUM with five advisers looking after business owners, senior executives and retired private clients. The owners are the draw here, relaxed, fair, transparent and genuine, and a practice manager was brought in specifically to get the systems and processes right, so this technical administrator job sits inside a support function that works rather than one that is firefighting.
