The posting

Best Practice Associate - Technical & File Review | Hybrid | Up to £55,000

Location: Wilmslow, Cheshire (Hybrid)

Our client, a highly respected independent Chartered Financial Planning firm, is looking to appoint an experienced Best Practice Associate to join its growing technical and governance team.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a Chartered Financial Planning professional who enjoys the technical side of financial planning and wants to play a pivotal role in maintaining the highest standards of advice, client outcomes, and regulatory excellence.

This is far more than a traditional compliance or file-checking role. You'll become a trusted technical expert, working collaboratively with Financial Planners, Paraplanners, Client Managers and senior leadership to continually improve advice quality and promote best practice across the business.

The Opportunity

You'll be responsible for reviewing complex financial planning cases, supporting advisers on technical matters, and ensuring every recommendation meets the highest regulatory and professional standards.

Working across multiple departments, you'll help shape processes, improve efficiencies, and ensure the business continues to deliver exceptional outcomes for clients.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Conducting pre-approval and post-sale file reviews to ensure the suitability and quality of financial planning advice
  • Reviewing client files for regulatory compliance, technical accuracy and Consumer Duty requirements
  • Providing technical guidance and support to Financial Planners and Client Managers
  • Working collaboratively to enhance advice quality and continuously improve best practice
  • Reviewing and developing internal policies, procedures and governance documentation
  • Supporting complaint investigations and regulatory queries where required
  • Reviewing financial promotions, websites, client communications and marketing materials to ensure they remain clear, fair and compliant
  • Producing management information, quality assurance reporting and key performance data
  • Maintaining high standards of data integrity and governance across the business
  • Contributing to strategic projects and continuous improvement initiatives

About You

The successful candidate will have:

  • Chartered Financial Planner status (CII Level 6 Advanced Diploma) as a minimum
  • Strong experience within Financial Planning, Technical Compliance, File Review or Paraplanning
  • An in-depth understanding of FCA regulation, Consumer Duty and financial planning best practice
  • Excellent technical knowledge across pensions, investments, tax planning and protection
  • Outstanding attention to detail and analytical skills
  • The confidence to challenge constructively while working collaboratively with advisers and senior stakeholders
  • A passion for improving advice quality and delivering exceptional client outcomes

What's on Offer

  • Competitive salary of up to £55,000
  • Hybrid and flexible working
  • Annual bonus opportunities
  • Pension scheme
  • Income protection
  • Death in service cover
  • Generous annual leave allowance
  • Fully funded professional development and continuing education
  • Paid study and exam leave
  • A collaborative culture where technical excellence is genuinely valued
  • The opportunity to influence advice standards within a highly respected Chartered financial planning business

Why Apply?

If you're a technically minded Chartered Financial Planner looking to move beyond advising clients and into a role where your expertise shapes the quality of financial planning across an entire business, this is an outstanding opportunity.

You'll work alongside experienced professionals, influence best practice, review complex financial planning cases, and play a key role in ensuring clients consistently receive advice of the highest possible standard.

For a confidential discussion or to apply, please contact International Recruiters Connecting Financial Specialists (IRCFS). All applications and enquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence.
