The BWD Census has firmly established itself as the premier resource for in-depth analysis of salaries, earnings, and benefits within the UK's financial services industry.
Conducted with complete independence from financial services (FS) employers, this comprehensive survey encompasses Financial Advisers/Planners, Business Development Managers (BDMs), Paraplanners, and Compliance Professionals. This year, we collected data from over 555 participants through a confidential online questionnaire distributed in January 2024.
Our analysis delves into current and historical salary levels, bonuses, and the array of benefits provided, alongside projections for the future. Participants shared their perspectives on potential earnings increases and the factors driving their optimism.
This Census also explores the influence of gender and qualifications on earnings, variations based on the independence of practices, and the earnings disparities across different demographics.
