About The Role

Frazer James is in a strong growth phase, building capacity for the clients we expect to bring on board over the next 12–24 months. We operate two client‑facing teams (new business and servicing), supported by dedicated staff.

As a small, fast‑growing company, we operate more like a start‑up than a large corporation. Processes evolve as we grow, and we’re looking for someone who sees change as an opportunity rather than a challenge.

In the first 12 months, you’ll join as an Associate Financial Planner, supporting a Lead Financial Planner. Most of your time will be spent preparing for, attending, and following up on client meetings, alongside producing financial plans and the occasional suitability report. The focus is on building technical confidence, meaningful client exposure, and strong planning judgement.

Over the following 12 months, subject to performance, you’ll progress into a Lead Financial Planner role. You’ll take full responsibility for your own clients and lead relationships day-to-day, supported by a dedicated paraplanner and administrator.

This is a remote‑first role within the UK, with occasional travel to Bristol for quarterly meet‑ups and occasional client meetings.

• Identify planning opportunities and develop recommendations
• Coordinate implementation with administrators
• Prepare annual reviews and meeting notes

• Provide occasional paraplanning support (suitability reports, technical research)
• Ensure files are complete, compliant, and suitable
• Progress towards Chartered/CFP status

Month 12-24 Months | Associate Planner to Lead Planner Transition

• Lead client meetings with oversight and support
• Deliver tailored advice and develop comprehensive financial plans
• Take increasing ownership of client relationships
• Maintain high standards of documentation, compliance, and follow-through
• Continue professional development towards Chartered and or CFP status

Beyond 24 Months | Lead Financial Planner

• Take full responsibility for your own client relationships
• Lead client relationships end-to-end
• Manage a dedicated team, including a paraplanner and administrator
• Contribute to the development of processes and standards as the firm scales

The Ideal Candidate:

• Location: Must be based in the United Kingdom. You’ll work remotely, but will be expected to travel to Bristol for quarterly in-person team days and occasional client meetings as needed.
• Remote-Friendly: Previous experience working from home or in a remote role.
• Role Experience: Minimum 4 years working within a ‘true’ financial planning firm, with prior experience across paraplanning and advisory roles.
• Qualifications: Level 4/Diploma qualified minimum, with a commitment to progress towards Level 7 Certified Financial Planner (CFP) if not already achieved.
• Technical Skills: Strong IT skills, including experience using Google Workspace, MacOS and ChatGPT and financial planning software. Strong technical knowledge across core financial planning areas.
• Attention to Detail: Excellent organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Proactive Attitude: Self-motivation and a proactive approach to personal learning and development.
• Value Alignment: Strong alignment with our core values of integrity, excellence, dependability, respect, and commercial acumen.

Desirable Preferences:

• Chartered/Certified Financial Planner status already achieved
• Solid academic background (degree preferred)

The Client Servicing Administrator plays a crucial role within the financial planning team by managing client administration and supporting the delivery of high-quality client service.

This position is responsible for overseeing the client onboarding process, coordinating data gathering and review meetings, maintaining accurate and compliant client records, and facilitating communication between clients and advisers.

The role also involves managing workflows and documentation to ensure timely completion of actions and regulatory compliance.

Additionally, the Client Servicing Administrator supports continuous process improvements and contributes to a seamless and efficient client experience throughout the client lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

Prospect Clients

• Register prospect clients on to the client portal, providing guidance and support in using the portal.
• Manage onboarding and new business workflows via the portal.
• Produce Talking Points documents ahead of initial meetings.
• Prepare and issue letters of authority where required; follow up on outstanding documentation and pass received information to paraplanners with clear summary sheets. Identify missing information prior to referral.
• Maintain compliant client files, preparing and filing documents and reports necessary for meetings or financial plans.
• Keep clients regularly updated and manage their expectations throughout the onboarding process.
• Process new business applications, working closely with paraplanners to ensure timely completion.

Existing Clients
• Register clients on to the client portal if not already done so, providing guidance and support in using the portal.
• Manage annual review workflows via the portal for servicing existing clients.
• Conduct data gathering meetings via telephone ahead of future planning meetings to review updated questionnaires, identify missing information, and discuss relevant “soft facts.” Determine whether clients wish to schedule future planning meetings and arrange appointments with advisers accordingly.
• Accurately document and summarise data gathering meeting notes.
• Write and issue annual review reports following data gathering telephone appointments, including pulling performance and charges statements from relevant provider websites.
• Ensure client files are compliant and complete post future planning meetings.
• Action agreed client instructions such as fund switches or income changes, working closely with paraplanners to ensure timely completion.
• Keep clients regularly updated and manage their expectations throughout the servicing process.

General Client Communication and Support

• Serve as the first point of contact for client inquiries, providing information or directing clients to the appropriate team member.
• Manage Moneyinfo platform tasks including sending client logins, checking meeting schedules, monitoring workflows, and creating follow-up tasks from meeting notes.
• Assisting with the preparation of marketing or client engagement materials, including social media posts.
• Help monitor client feedback or satisfaction surveys.

Documentation and Compliance

• Assist in preparing for audits and regulatory reviews, ensuring documentation and files meet required standards.

Team Collaboration and Continuous Improvement

• Support advisers by following up with clients on action items, documentation, and account changes.
• Manage and coordinate administrative projects as required to improve workflow and service delivery.
• Assist in updating and refining internal processes to enhance efficiency and client experience.
• Supporting new system or software rollouts through testing or training assistance.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure seamless and high-quality client service delivery.

Skills and Qualifications

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Professional and confident telephone manner.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities efficiently.
• Proficiency with client management systems and cashflow planning software.
• Comfortable liaising with clients and team members professionally.
• Willingness to learn new skills.
• Understanding of compliance requirements and regulatory standards within financial services.

As a Financial Planner at PPM Financial Planning you will be responsible for servicing an existing client bank, with no requirement for business development or sales targets. The emphasis is on providing high-quality, ongoing advice and building long-term relationships.

As part of your role, you’ll be expected to carry out the equivalent of four annual client reviews per week on average. In practice, this may mean more activity in peak quarters (typically Q1 and Q3), with quieter spells during the summer and year-end — allowing a natural rhythm to your work throughout the year.

You will be responsible for:
• Preparing the client’s cashflow model using Truth® software
• Conducting the client meeting (in person at our Redditch office or virtually via Zoom/Teams)
• Providing a clear, engaging summary to the client post-meeting (this could be a written summary, updated Truth screenshot, or a short addendum)

All other elements — data gathering, producing formal review packs, processing follow-up work, and writing any necessary reports — will be fully supported by our admin and paraplanning team, freeing you up to focus on the client relationship and advice.

When it comes to new business, this is entirely in your hands. If you want to grow your client bank, you’ll receive one-third of any initial advice fees generated. But there are no sales targets or pressure, and no minimum threshold before the fee split applies.

We always encourage our team to bring their own ideas and help shape how we deliver advice — whether that’s improving client experience, introducing new tools or refining our planning process. As a small and agile business, we’re open to evolving how we work — and your input will genuinely make a difference.

Review & Advice Process

Our structure is designed to reduce the admin burden and let you focus on client relationships as well as supporting your appetite for taking on new clients:

• For prospect clients
o An automated workflow via our client portal collects all the initial information from the client(s) via an online Lifestyle Questionnaire ahead of your meeting
o Admin will produce a Talking Points document ahead of the meeting summarising the information captured
o Prospects follow a 3 meeting onboarding process:
 The Life Planning meeting
 The Financial Planning meeting
 The Advice meeting
o Where prospects are brought in by the business owner, there will be the opportunity to refer these to other advisers in the team after the initial Life Planning meeting.

• For existing clients you are required to service
o the admin team will gather the required data ahead of your Future Planning meeting as well as issuing the formal annual review pack in advance.
o Advisers conduct Future Planning meeting and provides summary/write-up (e.g., Truth screenshot or addendum)
o Admin processes any follow-up actions (e.g., fund switch, income change)
o Paraplanner prepares reports for any new advice

• Expectation: minimum of 4 client Future Planning meetings per week

Exams
We’re looking for someone committed to professional development and willing to work towards Chartered status as part of their career progression. To assist you, we will cover the costs of exam entries, study materials, and revision courses for first attempts. Additionally, we offer paid leave for the day before each exam to help you prepare. Where possible, we’ll offer flexible working arrangements in the run-up to exams — whether that’s adjusting your hours or easing your meeting schedule — to give you the time and headspace to revise effectively.

Training and Support will include:

Externally:
• Certification in Lifestyle Financial Planning (35 hours) – delivered by Inspiring Advisers
• Dimensional training:
o Foundations Course (for advisers new to Dimensional)
o Applied Communications Course (how to communicate effectively with clients)
o Applied Business Strategy Workshop (principles and applications of business strategy, including methods for acquiring new clients)

Internally
• Moneyinfo Training
• Truth Training
• Study support in pursuing Chartered Status

Working Style

• Hybrid Working: Flexibility to work between office and home
• Hours: Flexible working to support work/life balance and client needs
• Leave:
o Standard holiday allowance + bank holidays
o Additional 2 weeks off over Christmas when the office closes
o Option to purchase additional leave

Remuneration Package

• Base Salary: From £45,000 per annum

• Split of Adviser Fees: One-third of the initial advice fee for any new business written, including clients you introduce to the firm or new advice provided to existing clients.

• Annual Performance Review: We carry out an annual review of each adviser’s client relationships, contribution to the firm, and growth of their client bank. Where there is a demonstrable increase in responsibility, client value, or business brought in, this may be reflected through a salary increase or year-end bonus

Wellbeing & Benefits

• 9% employer pension contribution (above statutory minimum)
• Annual health screen
• Supportive and inclusive team culture
• Death in Service

Ownership & Culture

We are in the early stages of moving towards an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) structure, which means the business will, in future, be owned by the team rather than a single shareholder. This model is designed to reward long-term contribution, align everyone’s interests, and ensure the business remains focused on doing the right thing for clients — not chasing short-term sales.

As an employee-owner you will:
• Share in future profits through a potential annual bonus
• Have a voice in the direction of the business
• Join a culture driven by client service, collaboration and shared success — not sales targets

We’re looking for an experienced paraplanner to join us at Frazer James — a remote-first financial planning firm that values autonomy, quality, and doing things properly.

✔️ Up to £66k+ total package
✔️ Remote & flexible, with in-person meetups
✔️ Real involvement in planning strategy
✔️ Values-led firm, clear standards, no fluff

We are looking for someone with good technical knowledge, a few years experience, and able to sit and hold themselves well in front of clients. Most of our clients come to the office for meetings so you will be predominantly office based.

We're a small friendly office based in North Leigh just outside Witney/Oxford.

Contact me directly using the details in the link above if you want to find out more.

I have been heavily involved in cycle racing competitively most of my life and understand the connection between hard work and commitment and success. I am interested in pursuing a career in paraplanning post my degree. In the meantime I am really keen to do some voluntary work experience. I live in North West London (Amersham, Bucks) whilst not at Uni and would be happy to travel. I have some experience of client segmentation work that I undertook for an Investment Management company.

I shall be available in my Easter hols from 22nd March for 4 weeks and during the summer holidays 23rd June to 1st September.

Please do let me know if anyone could offer me this invaluable opportunity.

Thanks!!

We're looking for someone with experience, as they'll need to be on it from the get-go.

Small friendly office near Banbury, with additional offices in London and surrounding area.

You’ll need to have very strong writing and maths skills. We pride ourselves on the consistent high quality of our work and you’ll need to have the same attitude.

It goes without saying we need you to have great technical skills and we do ask that you have a Diploma or higher level of qualification. If you don’t, we won’t rule you out but you’ll need to demonstrate that you have the high level of knowledge and experience to be able to perform at a senior level.

We all work remotely and there’s no office working. This means you need to have a suitable workspace at home. We have daily meetings and talk to each other frequently during the day, so you’re not alone, but you’ll need to be comfortable with this approach.

We’re open to full-time and part-time applications.

Our core requirements are:

• You have at least 5 years’ paraplanning experience.
• You’re at least diploma qualified and you’re actively aiming higher. You soak up new information like a sponge and love to learn.
• You enjoy digging into the details of a case and have a frankly astounding eye for accuracy.
• You’re a grammar pedant, maybe a bit of a geek, and what’s more, you’re proud of it.
• You’re great at explaining technical things in succinct and simple terms.
• You’re adaptable and can work in different ways depending on the requirements of different advisers.
• You like working from home and are comfortable being part of a small but very supportive team.
• You view problem solving as a challenge, not a chore.
• Integrity is very important to you and you don’t compromise your principles.
• You’re happy getting stuck into case checking / quality control.
• We’re conscious that there are lots of outsourced paraplanning firms, and you’re probably spoilt for choice. We want to offer a really good package, so we get and keep the best people! The salary really depends on your level of experience and qualifications – essentially, the more value you bring, the more we can pay.

We offer all of the following:

• Starting salary c. £40,000.
• Bonus (Profit Share) OTE c. £10,000.
• Life insurance.
• Income protection.
• Private medical cover.
• Opportunities for team leader or management responsibilities.
• Flexible working.
• Working from home allowance.
• 5% employer pension contributions.
• 25 days holiday + the working days between Christmas and New Year + bank holidays.
• Exam fees, course fees and study days.
• Daily meetings, a laugh and something technical – ongoing learning and improvement as a team.

To apply, please send your CV to info@argonautpp.com, along with covering letter explaining why you feel you’re the right person for this role.
