High Net Worth International Financial Planning at Hoxton Wealth

Discover the Thrill of International Financial Planning with Jonathan Brookes

"What if you could build a career where the world is your office, your clients are truly global, and every day brings new challenges and opportunities?"

That’s the question Jonathan Brookes Chartered Financial Adviser Adv DipFA PETR , one of the most qualified and dynamic financial planners at Hoxton Wealth , wants you to consider. On the latest Hoxton Life podcast, hosted by Sam Oakes , Jonathan shared his journey of nearly two decades in the international financial planning space. His insights are a masterclass in what it takes to thrive in a profession that’s growing, evolving, and opening up unparalleled opportunities for ambitious financial planners.

What Makes International Financial Planning So Unique?

As Jonathan explains, working internationally is a game-changer. From helping high-net-worth (HNW) clients manage their wealth across borders to navigating diverse financial systems, this career path is for those who crave variety, challenge, and growth.

"There’s no other career where you can work with clients in Dubai, the UK, the US, and Europe all in one week,” Jonathan says. “The expat advisory world is incredibly exciting, full of liquidity, and ripe with opportunity for those who know how to seize it.”

But it’s not just about geography. It’s about the caliber of clients. Jonathan works primarily with individuals in successful stages of their careers or retirees looking to structure and protect their wealth. These are clients who understand the value of professional advice—and they’re willing to pay for it.

Is International Financial Planning Right for You?

Jonathan believes that success in this profession comes down to a few key qualities:

• Curiosity: Are you eager to learn and adapt to new environments?
• Integrity: Can you build trust and long-term relationships with clients?
• Ambition: Are you driven to push boundaries and redefine what’s possible in your career?

"The higher up you go in this profession, the more your clients expect transparency and expertise,” Jonathan says. “Trust is your greatest asset. Always tell the truth—it’s the simplest way to build credibility and avoid unnecessary complications.”

For financial planners with these qualities, international advisory work can open doors that a domestic-only role simply can’t.

A Platform Built for Growth

Jonathan credits much of his success to the support he’s received at Hoxton Wealth. With its multi-jurisdictional setup and focus on empowering advisors, the firm offers a unique environment where professionals can thrive.

"Hoxton gives us the tools and framework to grow. Whether it’s compliance, admin, or business processes, everything is designed to let us focus on what we do best: serving clients,” he explains.

Hoxton’s ethos isn’t about micromanaging advisors but empowering them to build their own businesses within the firm. This entrepreneurial model, combined with a culture of collaboration and innovation, sets Hoxton apart from traditional firms.

"Here, there’s no limit to what you can achieve. If you’re driven and imaginative, you’ll find opportunities you didn’t even know existed,” Jonathan says.

Why Now is the Time to Go International

The world of international financial planning is booming. With more professionals living and working abroad, there’s a growing demand for advisors who can navigate complex, cross-border financial landscapes. From tax planning to wealth structuring, clients need help making sense of their global assets—and that’s where you come in.

"Clients today are far more educated than they used to be,” Jonathan says. “They understand the value of planning ahead, whether it’s for retirement, inheritance, or simply growing their wealth. This creates a huge opportunity for advisors who can offer real expertise.”

And the lifestyle? It’s hard to beat. Jonathan speaks passionately about the perks of working internationally:

• Flexibility: The ability to work with clients anywhere in the world.
• Diversity: Exposure to different cultures, industries, and financial systems.
• Fulfillment: Helping clients achieve life-changing financial goals.

"I’ve built a career where I never have to say no to a client because of where they live. That’s incredibly freeing,” Jonathan says.
