The Opportunity
I’m working with a highly respected, independent wealth management business that is continuing to grow its Birmingham office.
They’re looking to appoint an experienced Financial Adviser to join an established and expanding team, with an existing client portfolio from day one.
This is a great opportunity for an adviser who enjoys building long-term client relationships and delivering holistic financial planning, but also wants the opportunity to grow their own client bank.
The Opportunity
You’ll inherit an established portfolio of clients and have the backing of a dedicated paraplanning and administration team, allowing you to focus on what you do best: advising clients and developing relationships.
There is also genuine opportunity to grow your business through referrals and professional introducers, including accountants and solicitors.
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.
