Why Choose Hoxton?

Hoxton isn’t just another financial planning firm—it’s a platform for ambitious professionals who want to grow their careers, serve clients globally, and leverage cutting-edge tools and resources.

1. Global Reach, Local Expertise

With licences spanning the UK, Europe, USA, South Africa, Asia, and Australia, our financial planners can serve clients wherever they go. Whether you’re based in Dubai or the UK, our infrastructure supports seamless cross-border advice.

"Hoxton’s licensing means financial planners can follow their clients across borders, ensuring continuity and growth," Oliver explained.

2. World-Class Technology

The financial planning profession wasn’t built for cross-border advice—so we built the tools ourselves. Our in-house CRM system and the Hoxton Wealth App make it easier than ever to manage client relationships, onboard new clients, and provide seamless advice across jurisdictions.

"There wasn’t technology designed for what we do, so we created it," Sam Oakes said. "It’s all done internally, and it’s transforming how we deliver advice globally."

3. Investment in Marketing and Lead Generation

Our financial planners benefit from extensive internal marketing and lead generation efforts. From targeted campaigns to cutting-edge content, we ensure our financial planners have pre-qualified leads and a strong pipeline.

"We’re not just a financial planning company; we’re a marketing powerhouse," Oliver said. "Our financial planners spend more time advising and less time chasing leads."

4. Collaboration Over Competition

At Hoxton, you’re never going it alone. Our culture emphasises teamwork, with financial planners, paraplanners, and specialists across technology, operations, and compliance working together to achieve shared goals.

"It’s not about competition—it’s about collaboration," Sam Oakes explained. "Everyone here is pushing towards the same goal: to make Hoxton the global leader in financial planning."

5. Opportunities to Grow Your Business

Whether you’re looking to expand your AUM, enter new markets, or build a business within a business, Hoxton provides the resources to help you achieve your goals.

"This isn’t a place to coast," Oliver added. "It’s a place to push yourself and see what you’re capable of."

What About the UK?

For those who want to stay in the UK while expanding into the international market, we’ve got exciting plans. In a recent podcast episode with Jonathan Jay, we explored Hoxton’s UK growth strategy and the type of financial planners we’re looking for.

"The UK is a massive focus for us," Oliver said. "We’re looking for financial planners with strong client relationships who want to grow their business with the support of a company that’s making big moves globally."

If you haven’t watched the episode with Jonathan Jay, we highly recommend it—it’s a deep dive into our vision for the UK and what makes Hoxton unique.

Are You the Right Fit?

Here’s who we’re looking for:

  • UK-Based Financial Planners with Client Books: If you’ve built a strong client base and want to expand internationally—or grow further within the UK—Hoxton has the infrastructure and tools to make it happen.
  • International Financial Planners Ready to Scale: If you’re already working internationally, our tools, marketing, and support can help you grow faster.
  • Trainees with Grit and Determination: Our trainee wealth manager pathway is designed for those starting from scratch, offering a structured route to becoming a successful financial planner.

"The people who thrive at Hoxton are those who want to grow, innovate, and make an impact," Oliver said.

What Sets Hoxton Apart?

Here’s what makes us different:

  • Licences Across Multiple Jurisdictions: Serve clients globally while maintaining local expertise.
  • In-House Technology: Our bespoke CRM and Hoxton Wealth App are built for the complexities of cross-border advice.
  • Holistic Support: From compliance to paraplanning to marketing and operations, our infrastructure allows financial planners to focus on what they do best—advising.
  • Long-Term Incentive Plans (LTIPs): Financial planners are rewarded for their contributions to the company’s growth and can exit with a fair buyout when the time comes.
  • A Culture of Success: Financial planners like Chris Ball (£250M AUM) and Mo (£130M AUM) exemplify what’s possible at Hoxton.

"At Hoxton, you’re not just building your book—you’re building your legacy," Sam Oakes said.
