Our client is a genuinely top tier 12 person boutique financial advisory firm which has a strong HNW and UHNW client base. This role works closely with the Senior Financial Advisers who “lead” client engagements and with team members to plan and coordinate the delivery of advice and services to clients of the firm. The suitable candidate will hold the requisite qualifications and experience to be an authorised representative of the firm’s AFS Licence and is therefore authorised to provide financial advice to clients.
They are a relatively small firm and consciously target and serve a defined number and type of higher net worth clients who value and seek highly personalised care and service. They require a dedicated professional, who is prepared to ‘roll up your sleeves’ and take ownership and get involved in and across many things. There are team members whose primary role is to perform tasks that this candidate will delegate to them – eg: a paraplanning team who prepare the advice documents, a client service team who attend to administrative and implementation tasks – but due to the nature of their client base and the high personal service and care offered, there will always be circumstances where the Financial Adviser – and the Senior Financial Adviser – get closely involved or attend to important tasks themselves, no matter what the task.
