We understand that our continued success depends on our most important asset – our people – which is why we take so much care in recruiting and retaining the best. For obvious reasons we are always on the look out for talented people.
Our commitment to our people is enshrined in our core values which underpin everything we do. We are ambitious and dynamic yet we retain traditional values and a team environment. Our Advisers are coached by a highly experienced management team to increase their effectiveness, knowledge and skills, and to ensure they achieve the highest standards of advice, compliance and professionalism.
We are proud to be directly authorised by the FSA as truly Independent, as it allows us the freedom and advantage to use sophisticated tax planning strategies within our holistic services.
Our firm provides pragmatic advisory services in an environment where innovation, excellence and going that extra mile is the norm. Unsurprisingly, it is exactly those qualities we look for in the people we recruit to join us whether they be a Senior Financial Planner, a Corporate Consultant, a trainee Adviser or a business support professional. In return we offer a supportive and empowering environment where all of our people are given every opportunity to fulfil their full potential.
Our website has much of the basic information you may wish to know at this stage, however a telephone conversation and/or meeting will soon identify if matters are worth pursuing.
If you would like to discuss the possibilities in complete confidence please do not hesitate to call us on 0844 893 0068.
We are expanding and throughout 2009-10 we will be talking to suitable Financial Services Individuals and Firms about working with us.
Firms
We are interested in hearing from West Midlands based FSA regulated firms considering a sale, part-sale, over-capacity transfer, semi-retirement arrangement, etc. We are interested in taking over servicing of client bases, advisory teams and whole practices. We are expanding and always interested in strategic acquisitions that make sense and where we believe we can add value.
Advisers - (Regulated Financial Advisory Roles)
You maybe an IFA, Multi-tied, Tied or working for a Bank or Accountancy firm, you maybe wishing to work within a larger IFA practice where risks and operating costs are shared as well as bright ideas and marketing initiatives.
You will need to be a pro-active and self-motivated team player with at least 3 years relevant financial advisory experience and a suitable client base of your own from which you can generate work and obtain referrals. Having professional connections is also highly desirable.
Full FPC and Competent Adviser Status are essential, as is a successful track record and a good attitude to compliance and ongoing professional development.
You must have good inter-personal skills and be able to effectively demonstrate the technical knowledge and presentational skills you use to assist individual or corporate clients in achieving their financial goals.
The majority of our Advisers work from our Head Office, where they benefit from administrative, IT and managerial support; they may also combine that with the flexibility of working from home on occasion.
To attract the right kind of Advisers we offer flexible employed and unrestricted self-employed packages. Abacus provides a genuine opportunity to develop and broaden abilities in an environment that is challenging, rewarding and, we believe, truly different from our competitors.
Support Staff
We are also interested in hearing from experienced Professional Services Support Staff keen to further their careers. A background in Finance, Law or Accountancy is desirable.
Please ask for our Managing Director regarding all enquiries: 0844 893 0068 or email your CV and cover letter to nigel@abacus-i-m.com or fill out the form below and we will get back to you.
