Blacktower Group: Where Professional Advisers Grow and Thrive

For nearly four decades, Blacktower Group has been a trusted name in international financial planning. Founded in 1986, the Group has grown into a respected cross-border wealth management business serving clients across the UK, Europe, the US, and major international hubs. But behind this global footprint is something even more important: a supportive, professional environment where high-calibre advisers can thrive, develop and deliver strong client service.

Blacktower’ strength lies in its heritage, its governance, and its people. Advisers do not simply join a firm; they become part of an organisation shaped by integrity, experience, and a commitment to doing things properly.

A global business with extensive expertise

Blacktower Group has established offices in key international regions including the UK, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Switzerland, the US and Dubai. This presence has been built deliberately, with each office designed to meet the needs of clients living, working or retiring abroad.

For advisers, this global structure matters. It enables them to work confidently with clients who may have assets, tax obligations, or financial interests spread across different countries. It also means advisers are supported by colleagues who understand the complexity of expatriate financial planning — and who can share knowledge, experience, and local insight.

Whether supporting British retirees in the Algarve, cross-border professionals in Switzerland, or families relocating from the UK to Spain, advisers can rely on a group that has been serving international communities for decades.

Governance, oversight and real regulatory strength

In a world where financial advice is becoming increasingly scrutinised, advisers need to know they are part of an organisation that takes regulation seriously.

Blacktower’ regulatory framework is robust, transparent, and built to support long-term client relationships. The Group operates fully regulated entities in the jurisdictions in which it advises, ensuring advisers work under genuine authorisations with clear processes and strong organisational backing.

Advisers benefit from:

– Experienced compliance support

– Clear advice processes and documentation

– Well-established policies designed to support high standards of conduct and client care across all jurisdictions.

– A culture that values professionalism over shortcuts

This approach not only protects clients — it protects advisers. It allows them to work confidently, knowing that the systems, oversight and governance behind them meet the highest standards.

Support that lets advisers focus on what they do best

Blacktower believes that advisers should spend their time advising clients, not wrestling with unnecessary complexity. The Group provides the operational, administrative and technical support required to help advisers concentrate on meaningful conversations, financial planning and relationship management.

This includes:

– Assistance with onboarding, documentation and case progression

– Marketing and communications designed to build trust with clients

– Technical input for complex or cross-border planning

– Regular CPD, training, and knowledge-sharing sessions

– Guidance on products, tax considerations and international planning

Advisers remain fully responsible for their client relationships, but they are never left isolated. There is always a network of experienced colleagues, specialists and support teams available to help.

A culture that values professionalism and ambition

Blacktower has always been a people-first organisation. The Group has grown because its advisers have grown — both personally and professionally. This is reflected in its collaborative culture, where advisers share insight, celebrate successes, and help each other raise standards across the business.

The culture is best described as:

– Professional: built on integrity, governance and a commitment to clients.

– Entrepreneurial: advisers are encouraged to build, develop and expand their client base.

– Collegiate: advisers work with peers who share similar values and high standards.

There is an expectation of personal responsibility, but also a real sense of belonging. Advisers are treated as respected professionals whose input shapes how the wider Group evolves.

Helping advisers succeed at every stage of their career

Blacktower supports advisers through all phases of their career:

– Experienced advisers looking to expand into international or cross-border planning.

– Advisers relocating abroad who want the security of working within an established, regulated organisation.

– Advisers planning succession, who want their clients to remain looked after for years to come.

The Group understands that an adviser’ reputation and client relationships are their most valuable assets. Blacktower’ structure, experience and integrity help advisers protect and grow those assets over the long term.
