About Armstrongs Wealth
At Armstrongs Wealth, we're more than a financial planning firm—we're a team dedicated to helping people make confident financial decisions and achieve long-term peace of mind.
As a growing independent financial planning practice, we provide holistic financial advice to individuals, families and business owners. We believe great advice starts with understanding our clients, building lasting relationships and delivering an exceptional client experience.
Working closely alongside one of the region's largest accountancy practices gives us access to a diverse client base, from self-employed professionals and company directors to high-net-worth individuals, retirees and growing businesses. This means every day brings new opportunities, varied work and rewarding client interactions.
If you're looking to develop your career within a supportive, professional and ambitious business where your contribution genuinely makes a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
The Role
Due to continued growth, we're looking for an organised and motivated Wealth Planning Administrator to join our expanding team.
This is a key role supporting our Financial Planners by ensuring the efficient administration of client cases from initial enquiry through to implementation and ongoing servicing, while helping to deliver an exceptional client experience.
This position is ideal for someone who already has experience within financial services and is looking to build a long-term career in financial planning. As our business continues to grow, we are committed to developing our people. For the right individual, there will be genuine opportunities to progress into a Paraplanner or Financial Adviser role through structured training, mentoring and support towards professional qualifications.
Whether your ambition is to become a technical specialist or provide regulated financial advice, Armstrongs Wealth offers a clear career pathway within a supportive and growing business.
Key Responsibilities
As a Wealth Planning Administrator, you will:
- Provide administrative support to Financial Planners throughout the advice process.
- Manage Financial Planners' diaries, coordinating client meetings, annual reviews and follow-up activity to ensure ongoing service clients are looked after in line with the firm's agreed service levels.
- Prepare client review packs, valuations and meeting documentation.
- Process new business applications across pensions, investments and protection.
- Liaise with providers, clients and third parties to obtain information and progress cases.
- Maintain accurate client records using the firm's CRM system.
- Prepare suitability report information and supporting documentation where required.
- Monitor outstanding business and proactively follow up providers to ensure timely completion.
- Handle client enquiries professionally via telephone and email.
- Assist with ongoing client servicing, annual reviews and portfolio administration.
- Ensure all administration is completed accurately and in line with FCA regulatory requirements and internal procedures.
- Work collaboratively with colleagues to continuously improve client service and business processes.
- Support the wider team with ad hoc administrative duties as required.
As your knowledge and experience develop, you'll have the opportunity to become increasingly involved in technical case preparation, report writing and client support, providing a strong foundation for progression into Paraplanning or Financial Advice.
