Financial Adviser - UK and EU

The Company

Our Client is directly authorised by the FCA and is a specialist UK wealth management firm providing advice to HNW clients in all aspects of financial planning, especially pensions. Their Director and Co-Founder is also the Director of an international wealth management firm with offices in the Middle East and Europe.

They are expanding their UK presence and are looking for financial advisers to join their growing team. This would be ideal for financial advisers who may want to retain their UK client bank but also develop business with expats in Europe and be dual authorised, ideally relocating to Europe longer term.
