Join Us

TFA offers a wonderful opportunity for financial and mortgage advisers, either employed or self-employed, to join our extensive team based throughout the South and South West of England.

Why join us?  

Since its formation in 1997, TFA has welcomed many IFAs and IFA businesses into our fold. We enjoy long term relationships with our Independent Financial Advisers who share our client focused approach.

We also offer the opportunity for advisers to move from being employed to self-employed. If you are currently an employed adviser and wish to develop your own wealth management or mortgage advice business, we can offer practical, financial and developmental input to assist you with this on your journey to being an IFA or Mortgage Adviser.

For those of you who have no previous experience of giving financial or mortgage advice we do on occasion offer the opportunity to join us whilst you become qualified. Helping you start your own wealth management or mortgage business. We also offer opportunities in support roles in wealth and mortgage administration, and these will be advertised below when they are available.

TFA was conceived in 1997 to be different from the large corporates and to give our advisers the ability to run a business that reflects their lifestyle. This culture continues today. But don’t just take our word for it, read the stories below from a range of our independent advisers.

  • Use our integrated CRM (Intelliflo Office), client portals, and planning tools to enhance efficiency.
  • Maintain the highest standards of FCA compliance and ethical conduct.

We are a firm that embraces technology – including AI and advanced digital tools – ensuring our team has the resources to deliver exceptional service efficiently.

The Role

Based in our Plymouth office, this is not a “sit in the back office” report-writing role. We’re looking for a Senior Paraplanner who thrives on collaboration, brings deep technical expertise, and is ready to take — or grow into — a leadership role. You’ll work directly with advisers, influence how we deliver advice, and play a key role in developing and enhancing our paraplanning capability, including integrating cutting-edge technology into our processes and working closely with our support teams to optimise client service.

What you'll do

  • Partner with advisers to design and refine client solutions across pensions, investments, and estate planning.
  • Conduct in-depth research and complex technical analysis to support tailored recommendations.
  • Drive the adoption and development of AI-assisted tools to streamline workflows and improve client outcomes.
  • Mentor junior team members, fostering best practices and technical excellence.
  • Ensure compliance with FCA regulations and internal policies.
  • Shape the way we deliver advice, improving efficiency and client experience.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Paraplanner in an IFA or wealth management setting.
  • Level 4 Diploma in Financial Planning (DipPFS or equivalent).
  • Strong technical knowledge of pensions, investments, and taxation.
  • Experience in using Intelligent Office to a high standard very desirable.
  • Passion for embracing and implementing new technology.
  • Leadership potential and the ability to inspire others.
  • Exceptional organisational skills, attention to detail, and communication ability.

What We Offer

  • Flexible, tailored package to reflect your experience and the value you bring.
  • Company pension, holiday entitlement, Death in Service cover, and employee support services.
  • A key role in a forward-thinking, progressive firm where your ideas matter.
  • Ongoing CPD and professional development.
  • Modern, collaborative Plymouth office environment.

Be Part of Something Bigger

If you’re ready to step beyond standard paraplanning and take on a role where your leadership, technical skills, and ideas will directly influence how we deliver advice, we’d love to hear from you.
