Financial Adviser – HNW Clients | Whole of Market | Culture-Led Firm

This independent, values-driven wealth management firm specialises in acquiring IFA practices from retiring advisers to ensure continuity and care for clients. With over £500 million in assets under management, the business has built a strong reputation for ethical advice, long-term client relationships, and a supportive internal culture. Rather than focusing on aggressive marketing, this firm grows organically through referrals and trust, offering a collaborative team environment where integrity comes first.

This is a rare opportunity for a Financial Adviser to take over a fully serviced book of 75–90 high-net-worth client households, many with portfolios exceeding £1M. The adviser will focus on building trust and delivering exceptional service, supported by a full paraplanning and administrative team.
