My client is a wealth planning practice based outside Guildford who have been operating for 15+ years, and I have placed 6 members of staff into the business.

This boutique firm has a team of Chartered Advisers and a full administrative and paraplanning team. The business is thriving with plenty of new clients being onboarded and with large expansion plans and with this comes compliance requirements.
