Job description

Associate Adviser – Wealth Management and Financial Planning

This role is for someone who takes pride in doing things properly.

Welcome to the fast-paced, high-growth entrepreneurial role you have been searching for.

We are a self‑licenced financial planning firm based in the Sydney CBD, working with HNW and retiree clients. With 3 advisers and 10 staff, we run a professional, values‑driven business where client service is taken seriously.

Our firm has high growth plans, and it will be fast paced. This will be a fun role, but also challenging. You will need to be assertive, confident and a self‑starter who does not need to wait for instructions but gets on with it.

Are you up for the fun, hard work and success?

We are looking for an Associate Adviser who already has experience within financial planning and is ready to take the next step towards becoming a trusted adviser.

This is not a role for someone looking for a shortcut to an adviser title.

It is a role for someone who wants to learn the craft properly, work closely with experienced advisers and build the skills, judgement and relationships required to become an exceptional adviser.
