Trainee Financial Adviser

Canter Holland Ltd is a privately owned firm that provides high-quality financial advice to private individuals and corporate clients.

We help client manage their finances and provide long term and sustainable solutions so that they can fulfil their objectives and help them achieve their financial aspirations. We work with both private and corporate clients and we build long term relationships that we expect to last for generations to come.

We are looking for somebody to join our team of Financial Advisers, working on a collaborative basis to manage our client relationships and work together as a team. We avoid a ‘silo’ approach where individual advisers do their own thing and effectively create companies within the company.

You will work with our advisers to be taught the job of delivering a first-class service to our client. Our client meetings are carried out in person or via videoconference and will always be delivered by at least two advisers, one to conduct the meeting and one to take notes. After all client meetings there is a detailed debrief with the team to make sure that we are all in the picture and deliver the best possible service to our clients.

To make sure that all our advice and investment management is consistent we operate our own bespoke centralised investment proposition and all the research is centralised and conducted by our paraplanning team.

Our business is focussed on delivering the best possible service to our clients and we achieve this by investing heavily in our staff and their qualifications and by creating a modern and pleasant working environment. While we steadily continue to grow and take on all our new clients through word-of-mouth referrals, we are not ‘sales’ orientated leaving us to concentrate on the people that matter most……. our clients!
