It said that recent growth has seen it now managing £212m worth of assets for its clients.

It said most of its business comes from referrals from existing clients with the remainder arising from “professional partners across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland”.

It has also grown its spend on staff by £460,000, and plans to grow its 28-strong team to 45 within the next three years.

The company says future plans with focus on “expanding its senior business advisory and financial planning teams, alongside specialist roles in data and automation”.

Daniel Glover, Pacem managing director, said: “Our continued strong performance significantly outpaces the wider wealth management sector, which typically grows at below 10% annually.

“Our growth reflects a very deliberate focus on client outcomes, coordinated advice and staying true to our roots as a locally owned firm.

“With ongoing economic uncertainty and tax reform, clients are seeking joined-up advice more than ever.

“They want a single, trusted adviser who understands the full picture across their wealth, business interests and long-term family plans.”
