Financial Planning Assistant / Administrator – Exeter
Premier Financial Planning Ltd is looking for a professional, hard-working and organised Financial Planning Assistant / Administrator to join our Exeter office.
This is an important role within a friendly and growing financial advice business. We are looking for the right person who wants to become a valued long-term member of the team, support our advisers, help with new clients and play a key part in delivering an excellent client experience.
Ideally, you will already have experience working in financial advice, financial services, mortgages, pensions, investments or a similar professional office environment. However, we would also consider someone with the right attitude, strong administration skills and a genuine desire to learn the financial advice industry.
About Us
Premier Financial Planning Ltd is an award-winning team of Mortgage and Financial Planners, supporting clients across the South of England.
Our Exeter office provides friendly, professional and high-quality financial planning advice to clients looking to achieve their goals in life, career and family. We take time to get to know our clients properly and understand what matters most to them.
Due to continued demand from new clients, we are looking to expand our team so we can continue to offer the level of service our clients expect.
About the Role
The role will involve supporting our Financial Planners with client administration, preparing for meetings, helping process new business and ensuring clients receive a smooth, professional and friendly service.
We are ideally looking for someone full time, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. However, for the right person, we would consider a four-day working week.
This is an office-based role in Exeter.
Key Responsibilities
Your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting Financial Advisers with preparation for client meetings and follow-up actions.
- Helping with new client enquiries and onboarding.
- Preparing and maintaining client files, ensuring all records and documents are accurate and up to date.
