Independent Financial Advisor

Independent Financial Adviser | £50,000–£65,000 + Bonuses (£100k OTE Year One) | Home-Based | Glasgow

If you are a Diploma-qualified Financial Planner, IFA, or Wealth Manager who finds themselves disillusioned by the clamour of targets, the hollow pursuit of new business, and the quiet erosion of what true advice ought to be — then pause a moment.

For this opportunity offers something rather different. Not noise, but substance. Not pressure, but purpose.

A distinguished and wholly independent financial planning firm now seeks a trusted adviser to take stewardship of a well-tended client bank across the Greater Glasgow region — from the city itself to Kilmarnock and Troon. These are not names on a ledger, but long-standing relationships awaiting careful guidance and considered counsel.

What awaits you:

• A measured blend of home working and professional engagement — freedom with structure, autonomy with support

• An established and flourishing client bank — no need to till the soil, only to cultivate what already grows

• Whole-of-market independence — advise with clarity across pensions, investments, IHT, and protection

• No sales targets. No relentless prospecting. No performative metrics — only the quiet craft of meaningful advice

• A clearly defined path — towards Chartered status, seniority, and long-term partnership for those who seek it

The reward for your stewardship:

• A base salary of £50,000–£65,000 with first-year earnings rising to £100,000+

• Bonuses shaped by client loyalty and quality of service — not by product or persuasion

• Additional reward for every completed review meeting — for diligence well delivered

• A steady current of referrals and introductions — the mark of a firm held in high regard

• Full paraplanning and administrative support — so your time remains where it is most valuable

• A long-term home within a principled, values-led organisation

Who you are:

• Diploma-qualified (Level 4) in Regulated Financial Planning

• A practitioner of no fewer than 3 years within private client advice

• One who values relationships over transactions, and trust over turnover

• Ambitious — whether journeying toward Chartered status or already adorned with it

• Based within reach of Glasgow and its surrounding towns, with the willingness to meet clients where life unfolds

Whether you seek to restore meaning to your work, or simply wish to practise your profession as it was intended — with care, integrity, and quiet excellence — this role offers a rare and welcome return.
