Independent Financial Adviser

Inherited Client Bank No Prospecting Requirements Full Administrative Support

An exceptional opportunity has arisen for an experienced Independent Financial Adviser to join a well-established and highly respected independent financial planning firm based in Surrey.

This business has built its reputation on providing holistic, client-focused financial planning advice and has developed a loyal client base through long-term relationships, excellent service standards and a commitment to delivering genuinely independent advice.

Due to continued growth and succession planning, they are seeking a Diploma-qualified Financial Adviser to take over an active and revenue-generating client bank. This role is ideally suited to an adviser who enjoys building lasting client relationships and delivering high-quality financial planning without the pressure of aggressive sales targets or constant prospecting.

The Opportunity

You will inherit an established portfolio of engaged clients located across the South East and wider UK, allowing you to focus on delivering advice, strengthening relationships and identifying planning opportunities rather than generating business from scratch.

You will provide holistic, whole-of-market advice across:

• Pensions and retirement planning

• Investment and wealth management strategies

• Inheritance Tax and estate planning

• Protection planning

• Tax-efficient financial planning

• Ongoing client reviews and relationship management

Supported by an experienced paraplanning and administration team, you will be able to focus your time on delivering outstanding client outcomes rather than administrative tasks.

Requirements

• Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning (or equivalent)

• Minimum 3 years' experience providing regulated financial advice

• Strong technical knowledge across pensions, investments and holistic financial planning

• Excellent relationship-building and client management skills

• A client-centric approach to advice delivery

• Ambition to continue developing professionally, including progression towards Chartered status if not already achieved

• Ability to manage and develop long-term client relationships effectively

• Based within a commutable distance of Epsom/Sutton, as the role is predominantly office based

What's on Offer

• £65,000 basic salary

• Realistic first-year OTE of £80,000+

• Bonus structure linked to client outcomes and business performance

• Established client bank provided from day one

• Ongoing referrals and internal introductions

• Full paraplanning and administration support

• Whole-of-market independent advice proposition

• Support towards Chartered Financial Planner status

• Long-term career progression opportunities

• Collaborative and supportive working environment

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Many advisory roles require significant self-generation and business development. This opportunity is different.

You will inherit an established client portfolio, benefit from ongoing referrals and work within a business that prioritises long-term client relationships over sales targets. It offers the chance to focus on what most advisers enjoy most-providing quality financial planning advice and helping clients achieve their financial goals.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced Financial Adviser seeking a stable, professional and client-focused environment where they can continue building a successful and rewarding career.
