A NOTE FROM OUR CEO
A place to do important work, properly.
Dyer Baade & Company is a small, specialist advisory firm. That means people are trusted with meaningful work early - but they are also expected to be reliable, prepared and precise.
We value colleagues who take responsibility, follow through on commitments, communicate clearly and care about getting the details right. Good judgement matters, but it is built on consistently doing the fundamentals well.
We want people to build careers here over time. As capability develops, so does responsibility: from analysis and execution, to managing workstreams, contributing to client relationships and ultimately exercising independent judgement.
We are ambitious for the firm, but not interested in growth for its own sake. We want to build a high-quality advisory business with people who value professionalism, continuity and long-term relationships.
Dr Daniel Baade
Chief Executive Officer
WORKING AT DYER BAADE
Responsibility, learning and genuine exposure.
As a small specialist firm, we offer meaningful responsibility and close exposure to senior advisers - alongside clear expectations, disciplined execution and continuous development.
01
Meaningful responsibility
Work on real assignments from the outset, with clear ownership of analysis, materials and execution tasks appropriate to your experience.
02
Learn from senior advisers
Work directly with experienced advisers who remain closely involved in transactions and take an active role in developing the team.
03
Master the fundamentals
We place real value on accuracy, preparation, organisation and follow-through. Strong careers are built by doing the basics consistently well.
04
Build specialist expertise
Develop genuine sector knowledge across Wealth Management, Financial Services and Financial Services Technology rather than moving superficially between unrelated assignments.

OUR CULTURE
A small team. High standards. Serious about the work.
We value professionalism, reliability, intellectual honesty and quiet confidence.
People are expected to prepare properly, communicate clearly, support their colleagues and follow through on commitments. We work collaboratively, but everyone takes ownership of their responsibilities.
The environment is professional rather than political, ambitious without being theatrical, and built around trust developed over time.
WHO THRIVES HERE
Capability matters. How you work matters too.
We tend to work best with people who are intellectually curious, commercially minded and naturally conscientious - people who value structure, reliability and long-term improvement as much as ambition.
01
Reliable
You do what you say you will do, on time and without repeated follow-up.
02
Structured
You like clear priorities, disciplined processes and organised execution.
03
Detail-conscious
You care about accuracy and consistency, including on routine tasks.
04
Commercial
You understand that good analysis ultimately needs to support practical decisions.
05
Collaborative
You communicate clearly, support colleagues and contribute to the team rather than only your own work.
06
Long-term minded
You want to build expertise, responsibility and trust over years - not simply accumulate transactions for your CV.
A GOOD FIT MATTERS BOTH WAYS
This environment will not suit everyone.
Dyer Baade may not be the right environment if you prefer loosely defined responsibilities, constant changes in priorities without clear rationale, or rapid progression without first demonstrating consistent capability.
We place a high value on consistency, process discipline, attention to detail and earning greater responsibility through demonstrated capability.
HOW TO APPLY
A clear and considered process.
Our recruitment process is deliberately thorough and highly selective. We want candidates to understand us properly, and we want to understand how they think, work and approach responsibility.
01
Apply directly
Send your CV and a short covering note explaining why Dyer Baade and the role are of particular interest.
02
Initial Assessment
We use a two-directional online screening process and a short Q&A to assess initial fit, motivation and working style.
03
Detailed Assessment
Successful candidates are invited to a series of one-to-one interviews and, depending on the role, one or two practical case studies.
