We are excited to present a brand-new opportunity for an experienced Financial Planner to join an independent wealth planning firm located near Maidstone. This servicing role offers the chance to manage a retiring adviser’s book of clients, generating over £250k in revenue, while also taking on clients from the Managing Director’s own portfolio. This is an excellent opportunity to step into a well-established firm that has a strong reputation for providing high-quality, whole-of-market advice to high-net-worth individuals, families, and SME owners across Kent, Sussex, and London.

You will have the opportunity to build and maintain strong relationships with both existing and new clients while working closely with a dedicated support team, including administrators and paraplanners, to provide seamless service. The firm is looking for a Financial Planner who has at least five years of advising experience and is either chartered or working towards chartered status.
