Senior Financial Planner

To say that we do thing differently is an understatement! Cooper Parry Wealth challenge the traditional methods and always have the best interest of the client at heart.

The wealth management industry loves talking about the latest products that will make people rich. But we’ve flipped the traditional model on its head. Quite simply, we realised it’s broken and ineffective.

We work with our clients to really understand what they want to achieve; we help them focus on the bigger picture and focus on ‘making life count’.

In order to do this, we are looking for a Senior Financial Planner to join our new Manchester office and build our reputation in the North West as the ‘go-to’ advisor.

In the day to day, we are looking for someone to:

• Focus on building relationships within the accountancy practice, to generate new Wealth management opportunities
• Initially, build a client bank to a point, before then building out a team in the region
• Bringing clients with you is not a necessity but would be a bonus

You’ll enjoy seeing people realise their ambitions over time, by following your guidance. Our clients love our people. Their openness, their integrity, their friendship. We’re straight-talking. We’re multi award-winning. And while we’re one of the fastest growing firms in the UK, we’re making sure clients don’t lose the personal feel.

At Cooper Parry, we’re in it together. All we ask of our people is that they play all in. You’ll continuously strive to keep learning – whether you’re a trainee or a Partner – and you’ll be brave, stepping out of your comfort zone to tackle new challenges. Above all, be nice. A simple notion, but an irreplaceable part of what makes CP, CP.

In addition to those core values, as a Senior Financial Planner we are looking for:

• Chartered or Certified professionals with experience in high-net-worth financial planning
• Proven experience in generating new business and opportunities (no expectation to bring clients with you)
• A relationship builder, whether that’s internally with CP People, or externally with connections and clients
• Ability to ‘woo’ clients, build rapport and develop into long lasting and trusting relationships
• Have a passion for getting to know what clients really value, want to achieve and what keeps them up at night
• A team player, who wants to be part of something big for the future

We’ve been dubbed ‘the rebels of accountancy’. We’re straight-talking. Never afraid to share our opinions. We put people and relationships before products and services, and deliver a streamlined, client-focused service – free from unnecessary red tape.
