Therefore the role is probably best suited to those with an IFA, Direct Sales or Home Service background.

The business is main personal planning with the main focus in Portfolio Reconstruction, IHT Planning and Specialist Pensions. There is also some scope for corporate advice.

Package (average earnings of £40,000 - top consultant on £100,000)
