New Business Financial Planner - All leads provided, phone based – Greater Manchester
£45,000 base + OTE ~£75,000 | Employee‑Owned Firm | Office‑Based (Hybrid from 2027)
Are you a Level 4 qualified adviser who loves the front end of financial planning - the discovery, the conversations, the recommendations - without the ongoing servicing? This is a high‑energy, high‑volume new‑business role with exceptional inbound lead flow and a genuinely supportive, collaborative environment.
About the Company
We’re partnering with an employee‑owned wealth firm based in South-West Manchester (8-9 miles from city centre) With rapid growth, huge demand, and a brilliant culture, they’re now expanding their adviser team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
