Independent Financial Advisor

Independent Financial Advisor

Glasgow, hybrid and flexible working
• Salary £60,000 to £80,000 + bonus + benefits

Take over an established client bank from a retiring Advisor, with no requirement to bring clients with you and the flexibility to work in a way that suits you.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Financial Advisor to join a growing independent financial planning firm. You'll inherit an existing portfolio of clients and be supported by experienced paraplanners and administrators, allowing you to focus on delivering high quality advice and building long-term client relationships.

The role may also include supporting a small number of corporate clients, although previous corporate advice experience is not required.

This opportunity is likely to appeal to Advisors who prefer the culture and flexibility of a smaller independent business over a large national firm or consolidator.

Our client is a growing independent financial planning firm based near Glasgow city centre. They provide holistic advice across pensions, investments, protection and retirement planning, delivering a highly personalised service to individuals, families and business owners.
