Financial Adviser (Mid-Senior) | Berkshire | £70,000-£80,000 + Bonus
Predominately Remote but must live relatively local to Berkshire
A highly regarded boutique independent financial planning firm in Berkshire is looking to appoint two experienced Financial Advisers as part of an exciting period of growth following a recent acquisition.
This is a fantastic opportunity to inherit an established, high-quality client portfolio, allowing you to focus on delivering exceptional financial planning rather than business development. You'll join a collaborative and client-centric business that places long-term relationships at the heart of everything it does.
The Opportunity
The firm is recruiting two experienced Financial Advisers, each taking responsibility for an existing client portfolio of approximately £30m-£50m AUM. Clients are predominantly HNW individuals, with an average portfolio size of around £700,000, making this an ideal opportunity for advisers who enjoy delivering holistic financial planning to affluent clients.
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.
