• Recent experience working within this sector for a meaningful period.
• A deep understanding of how UK financial advice businesses generate revenue and manage costs.
• Strong knowledge of adviser productivity, client segmentation, assets under advice, recurring revenue, remuneration, acquisition economics and cost-to-serve.
• Advanced financial modelling and scenario-planning capability.
• The ability to build detailed models personally without relying on a supporting analyst team.
