Day-to-day operating brief

What Financial Advisor work looks like in practice

A Financial Adviser assesses client circumstances and objectives before recommending investments, pensions, protection or planning solutions within authorised permissions. The role handles sensitive financial and health information and may receive incentives subject to strict conduct controls. Terms should define advice scope, regulatory status, supervision, competence, client ownership, fees, product panels, fact-finds, suitability reports, complaints, CPD and conflicts. Review records should show which circumstances were refreshed and which earlier facts remain relied upon. Product performance alone does not prove continuing suitability after income, family, health or objectives change. Replacement advice needs explicit comparison of lost benefits, charges and transition risks. Ongoing service records should show the review actually delivered, fees charged and actions outstanding. A scheduled invitation is not evidence of advice, and unanswered contacts need a defined route before the firm treats continuing suitability as confirmed. Client vulnerability notes should record relevant support and communication needs without unnecessary diagnostic detail. Consent and trusted-contact arrangements need periodic confirmation rather than indefinite assumption.

Assess objectives risk and affordability.
