⭐️ Compliance Manager (M&A)
📍 Home Based
💰 Competitive Salary
We’re working with a highly successful and growing financial planning organisation that is looking to strengthen its specialist M&A capability with the appointment of a Compliance Manager.
Working as part of the acquisitions function, you will assess financial advice businesses ahead of potential transactions, building a clear picture of their regulatory history, advice practices and potential areas of exposure. You will then help ensure any issues identified during the assessment process are appropriately addressed as businesses join the wider group.
Role & Responsibilities: 📋
- Carrying out detailed regulatory assessments of financial planning and wealth management businesses prior to acquisition
- Reviewing a broad range of information to understand the compliance history and risk profile of each business
- Interrogating management information and client data to spot trends, anomalies or areas requiring further investigation
- Identifying areas of historic advice that may present increased regulatory or client risk
- Working alongside advice/file review specialists to understand whether individual findings point towards wider systemic issues
- Assessing the significance of findings rather than treating every technical breach as carrying the same level of risk
- Highlighting significant concerns early enough for them to be considered as part of the transaction
- Helping establish appropriate remediation or post-acquisition actions where required
- Working closely with colleagues across compliance, legal, finance and operational teams throughout the acquisition process
- Engaging professionally with owners and senior employees of businesses going through due diligence
- Supporting the continued development of the organisation’s acquisition and due diligence processes
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.
