Financial Adviser jobs in Eastbourne

Financial Adviser - Kent and Sussex

Clients are based DA, ME, BR and CT postcodes

£65k - £75k + earnings potential

Established client bank | Administration & Paraplanning support

What if your next adviser role came with an established client bank to look after, rather than a blank sheet of paper and a huge new-business target to chase?

An established IFA practice is looking for an experienced Financial Adviser to take responsibility for an existing portfolio of approx. 150 clients with ~£28m of assets under advice. The majority of the clients are based in the DA, ME, BR and CT postcodes.

This is first and foremost a client servicing role. You’ll inherit established relationships and be responsible for looking after those clients properly: conducting annual reviews, providing ongoing advice, retaining relationships and identifying additional planning opportunities where they genuinely benefit the client.

There is an expectation that you’ll write new business, but you won’t be starting from scratch. You’ll have an existing client base to work with and administration and paraplanning support behind you, leaving you free to concentrate on advising and developing client relationships.

The package

The current package includes a basic salary, with additional earnings through an adviser incentive scheme and annual discretionary profit-share bonus.

You’ll also receive:

• 5% employer pension contribution
• Travel expenses between the office and client meetings
• Administration and paraplanning support
• Professional fees and subscriptions paid
• 20 days' holiday plus bank holidays, increasing by one day per year to a maximum of 25 days

Who they're looking for

You’ll already be an experienced Financial Adviser who enjoys the relationship-management side of advice and wants to work with an established portfolio of clients.

You’ll need to be comfortable developing business where appropriate, but this isn’t a role built around cold prospecting or arriving with your own client bank. The priority is looking after existing clients exceptionally well, retaining those relationships and developing them over the longer term.

The role is office based in Battle, with travel to client meetings as required.

If you’re an adviser who would rather inherit meaningful client relationships than spend your time trying to create a client bank from nothing, this could be a very interesting next move.

Pay: £65,000.00-£75,000.00 per year
