Financial Planning Advisor in London

We’re building a relationship-oriented bank for the modern world. We need talented, passionate professionals who are dedicated to doing what’s right for our clients. At CIBC, we embrace your strengths and your ambitions, so you are empowered at work. Our team members have what they need to make a meaningful impact and are truly valued for who they are and what they contribute.

What You’ll Be Doing

High net worth clients often require additional expertise due to their level of wealth and the complexities involved. You will be working as part of a leading Wealth Management practice to understand the unique and complex needs of their high net worth clients, and offer recommendations to optimize and grow the clients’ wealth. Financial Planners develop a holistic and integrated wealth management strategy – one that combines investment management, estate planning, tax planning, and retirement planning strategies amongst others so they all work together to achieve your clients’ goals. This role may require frequent travel.

How You’ll Succeed

• Client First - Prepare and present comprehensive financial plans that meet existing and prospective client’s needs and objectives for HNW clients by leveraging internal CIBC expertise. Work with the client’s other external advisors as appropriate (i.e. lawyers and accountants) in gathering and validating information to support development of plans and recommendations.
• Collaboration - Work proactively with your team and internal and external partners and other trusted advisors to lead the development of an integrated financial plan for new and existing HNW clients. Assemble a multi-disciplined team to develop innovative domestic and global solutions for the client’s personal and business needs (banking, investing, estate and trust planning, tax minimisation, education, business valuation, sale of a business, charitable giving etc.)

Who You Are

• You’re an expert financial planner. You can demonstrate superior financial planning skills and proven success in developing comprehensive financial plans for HNW and UHNW clients.
• You put our clients first. You engage with purpose to find the right solutions. You go the extra mile, because it's the right thing to do. You have extensive experience working with High Net Worth clients.
• You're a certified professional. You are a CPA, CA, CFP. Additional designations such as LLB, TEP, and FEA are considered an asset.
• Values matter to you. You bring your real self to work and you live our values – trust, teamwork and accountability.
