Hi everybody,

This just in — and it’s one of the cleanest IFA roles we’ve seen in a long time.

Our client is the Middle East’s only certified fiduciary, CII Chartered, fee-only wealth management firm. They have opened a Service Adviser position with a full client book provided!

• No cold starts.
• No chasing leads.
• No sales pressure.

Just pure financial planning and client advisory.

💰 Salary & Structure

• Associate: AED 10,000 – 14,000
• Senior Associate: AED 14,000 – 20,000
• Associate Director: AED 20,000 – 30,000
• Performance-based bonus (linked to individual and company performance)

Final level and salary are determined through the full interview process.

Why this role is different

Most international IFA roles come with:

• Aggressive sales targets
• Commission-driven pressure
• Constant business development

This one doesn’t.

Instead, you’ll step into:

• A ready-made portfolio of clients
• A salary + bonus model (not commission-led)
• A firm built around long-term advice, not transactions

Who this is for

This will suit you if you are:

• A Western educated and experienced UK or South African candidate
• UK Level 4+ or chartered qualified (CII / CISI) CFP or higher
• Currently advising clients and want to focus on quality over sales
• Frustrated with prospecting and misaligned incentives
• Looking for a serious long-term move to Dubai

Who this is NOT for

This will not suit candidates who's been with every other brokerage around Dubai every 6-12 months. My client is VERY picky...and they can afford to be. This is NOT one of those "let's -give-it-a-bash-and-hope-for-the-best" options. Imagine-, if you could..an old English, private members-only type club picture...that high end upper class leather smell.
There's no "retail queue" outside this private client type UK PLC ...and it's for a reason.
​
Most selected candidates hardly make it past the first call...so NOT quite the easy money spinner for me! Its literally a case of TOP SHELF people only. I have worked for this firm myself in 2013, and have a personal connection with the CEO and all parties. The ARE just that much better than just about anybody, and that's from personal experience.

Why you should act now

Roles like this are rare in the international market:

• Client books are almost never handed over
• Fee-based advisory models are still the exception
• Hiring is selective and moves quickly

The bottom line

If you’ve been waiting for a move where you can:

• Focus on being a true adviser
• Work in a professional, client-first environment
• Build a credible long-term international career

This is it.
