Eminent Financial Limited is part of The Openwork Partnership, who are one of the UKs largest and longest established financial advice networks. There are many benefits of being part of something bigger including the ownership structure - The Openwork Partnership is owned by its firms, Bain Capital and its employees so is somewhat of a democracy. It boasts a broad proposition with deep ties to providers and has some serious resources at its disposal. It puts the development of its colleagues, advisers and firm support staff first with its very own Business School. The Openwork Foundation, who have donated over £22m to UK registered charities since it was founded, is a great opportunity for everyone to get involved and give back to the community it serves.
