I am recruiting Financial Advisers — including those at the earlier stages of their adviser career — for a multi-office IFA with a long-established accountancy referral network across the North of England. The firm is onboarding 40 new accountancy partners this year, building a clear and ongoing pipeline of warm leads.

About the firm:

A well-regarded independent financial planning firm with 40 advisers across multiple offices and close to £1 billion client assets. All staff eligible for a £3,600 tax-free annual bonus once they've completed probation — equivalent to c. £5,000 gross. The culture is trust-based — there's no line management structure, and Financial Advisers are trusted to run their own diaries, build their own books and spend time wherever the work is.

The role:

This is a referral-led role with a strong central infrastructure behind it. Research, suitability drafting and digital LoAs are handled centrally — the adviser's focus is on the client, the meeting, and the introducer relationship. Genuine flexibility on location: 3–4 days from home each week, or office-based in any of the firm's offices across the North of England.

• Building referral relationships with accountants and solicitors
• Running client meetings across pensions, investments and protection
• Personalising suitability reports prepared by the central research team
• Conducting ongoing reviews as your client bank matures

What you'll need:

• Around 1 year IFA experience (restricted backgrounds welcome)
• Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning plus CAS
• Strong instincts for relationship-building — this is a referral-led model
• Self-motivation — there's no daily oversight, and that suits some better than others

The package:

• £42,500 (basic + retention bonus), Y1 OTE c. £50,000
• Established advisers earn £150,000–£200,000 once their client bank matures
• 26 days' effective holiday
• Death-in-service, Vitality healthcare
• EV salary sacrifice
• 5%/3% pension
• 3–4 days from home, or office-based if preferred
