Talent acquisition

At The FIMS Consultancy, talent acquisition is more than just filling a position; it’s about finding the right fit for your firm’s culture and values. I utilise a targeted approach, working closely with both clients and candidates to ensure alignment and mutual benefit. By understanding the nuances of the financial advisory sector, I can identify and attract top-tier professionals who are not only skilled but also embody the independence and integrity that you seek in your next team member.

For Clients

Recruiting an adviser is one of the most important investments an SME or boutique practice will make. We offer a consultancy-based approach, designed to:

• Protect your culture while strengthening your team.

• Deliver top-quartile adviser talent nurtured over decades.

• Provide flexible, affordable solutions with shared risk.

• Support long-term growth and succession planning.

For Candidates

We create a safe space for advisers to explore their next move. Whether you’re looking for a firm with stronger values, better balance, or clearer growth prospects, we take the time to understand your personal and professional goals. With deep knowledge of the SME and boutique space, we match you with firms where you’ll be valued — not just employed.

Candidate sourcing

Our candidate sourcing process is designed to connect you with the best talent in the market. Leveraging a mix of cutting-edge technology and personalised outreach, we tap into both active and passive job seekers. This ensures that we present a diverse pool of candidates who are uniquely qualified for your specific needs. I take the time to understand your firm’s values and requirements, ensuring that each candidate I source is not just a match on paper but a great fit for your team.
