• Provide advice on retirement planning, pensions, investments, estate planning and cashflow modelling for US-connected clients.
• Identify potential cross-border issues, including PFICs, FATCA implications and US-situs assets, before recommendations are implemented.
• Recommend investment solutions that are suitable for both UK and US regulatory and tax requirements.
• Manage and develop long-term client relationships through regular reviews and ongoing financial planning.
• Work closely with in-house tax advisers, solicitors and investment specialists to ensure joined‑up advice and positive client outcomes.

• Strong experience advising on pensions, investments, retirement and estate planning.
• Good understanding of cross-border planning considerations, including FATCA, PFICs and HMRC reporting‑fund status.
• Previous experience working with US-connected clients would be highly beneficial.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex financial and tax matters in a clear and practical way.

This is an opportunity to work with an established and growing client base within a specialist area of financial planning. You will have access to in-house UK and US tax expertise, enabling you to provide a genuinely integrated service that few firms can offer. The role would suit an adviser who enjoys building long-term client relationships and delivering practical solutions to complex cross-border planning needs.
