Qualified Finance Adviser for Queenstown Office, potential shareholding for the right candidate

· Opportunity for ambitious adviser to make their mark
· Rapidly expanding region with arguably NZ's most coveted lifestyle
· A reputable market leader with credible strategic alliances
· Holistic planning skills and highest levels of integrity essential

Are you a qualified Financial Adviser ready for the next step? Bennetts, Southland's largest financial advisory practice and New Zealand's first financial partner with global giant ING, is looking to expand its Queenstown office and appoint a qualified financial adviser.

Bennetts has grown rapidly in the last ten years along with its reputation as a reliable advisory network with more than 20 financial advisers and support staff. With Bennett's funds under management now in the vicinity of $400 million, it is their intention to expand their branch network northwards from their Southland base. Their Queenstown office requires an ambitious qualified adviser with exemplary client service skills, demonstrated salesmanship and a sound strategic approach to the financial planning function.

We are looking for a candidate whose career may have included some overseas working and living experience, and someone who would relish the challenge of becoming Queenstown's most respected and sought after adviser. Our ideal candidate would have either a Diploma in Business Studies (PFP), a CA or CFP qualification, or be active in achieving one. Remuneration will be set at a level that acknowledges the successful candidate's skills and take into account the challenges offered. The successful candidate can either be a salaried employee or alternatively this is an opportunity for an adviser with an existing client database to move to Queenstown and act as a contractor for Bennetts.
