Working Pattern: Hybrid, with up to one day per week home working

Quilter is working with a well-established and highly respected advice firm in Exeter to recruit an ambitious Financial Adviser who is aspiring to take the next significant step in their career.

This opportunity offers far more than a traditional adviser role. The successful candidate will join a growing and successful business with a clear pathway towards future ownership, making it ideally suited to an individual with the ambition and commercial mindset to lead and ultimately acquire an established financial planning practice within the next five years.

Our client has been providing trusted financial advice for over 15 years and has built an excellent reputation across Exeter and the surrounding area.

Their services include:

• Pension advice
• Mortgage advice
• Protection planning

The firm currently consists of three advisers and two administrative support staff, all working collaboratively from a central Exeter office. Their success has been built on strong client relationships, exceptional service standards, and a commitment to delivering positive client outcomes.

The successful candidate will advise clients across:

• Investments
• Pensions
• Mortgages
• Protection products

Alongside managing and developing client relationships, you will actively contribute to the continued growth of the business through networking, referrals, and self-generated opportunities.

This role offers significant scope for progression and influence within the business, with a genuine succession planning opportunity for the right individual.

We are keen to speak with individuals who:

• Have excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills
• Deliver consistently high levels of client service
• Are self-motivated, proactive, and commercially aware
• Have a genuine ambition to become a business owner in the future
• Enjoy working within a small, collaborative team environment
• Can generate new business opportunities through referrals, networking, and professional connections
• Take pride in delivering quality work and following robust processes and procedures
• Have a strong work ethic and a positive, enthusiastic approach

• Hollistic advice experience essential- at least 1 year.
• An existing client following or network of professional introducers would be beneficial, although not essential.

• Additional remuneration equal to 25% of new client fees generated
• Hybrid working arrangements
• Established brand and client base
• Supportive and experienced team environment
• A clearly defined succession and future ownership opportunity

This is an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious adviser who is looking to combine personal success with a long-term stake in a thriving advice business.
