This role has employed and self employed options.

E M Gray & Co Ltd is a highly respected and growing wealth management firm based in Belfast, committed to delivering exceptional financial planning and long-term client outcomes. As the business continues to grow, an exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Financial Adviser to join the team.

We are seeking an established adviser who has built a strong reputation within the market and ideally has the ability to bring an existing portfolio of clients. Whether you are seeking the security of an employed role or the flexibility of self-employment, E M Gray & Co Ltd is committed to creating a package that reflects your experience, ambitions, and the value you bring.

More than anything, this is a people-focused business that prides itself on being a close-knit, family-orientated firm where trust, support, and teamwork are central to the culture. Finding the right person is just as important as finding the right skillset. We are looking for someone who shares these values and wants to become an integral part of the business for years to come.

The successful adviser will have access to existing clients and qualified leads generated by the business, providing an excellent platform for growth from day one. However, this role will best suit someone who is proactive, commercially minded, and confident in generating opportunities through their own professional network, referrals, introducer relationships, and business development activity. We are looking for an adviser who can complement the support provided by the firm with their own ability to win and retain clients.

This is not a role for someone looking for their next stepping stone. We are seeking an adviser who wants to make a long-term commitment and find a business they can genuinely call home.

The Role

  • Deliver holistic financial planning and wealth management advice to private clients.
  • Manage and develop an existing portfolio of clients.
  • Build long-term relationships through exceptional client service and regular reviews.
  • Identify opportunities for growth across pensions, investments, protection, and retirement planning.
  • Generate new business opportunities through referrals, professional introducers, networking, and personal contacts.
  • Work collaboratively with paraplanners, administrators, and the wider support team.
  • Ensure all advice is delivered in accordance with FCA regulations and internal compliance standards.

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.

The Ideal Candidate

This role would suit an experienced Financial Adviser who has built a loyal client following and is looking for an environment where they can continue to grow whilst receiving the support, flexibility, and recognition they deserve.

E M Gray & Co Ltd is seeking someone who combines strong technical ability with the right attitude, values, and ambition. The successful individual will be committed to delivering outstanding client outcomes, contributing positively to the team culture, and becoming a key part of the firm's future success.

This opportunity will suit a driven, entrepreneurial adviser who is passionate about doing the right thing for clients and is seeking a genuine long-term home.
