Financial Planner | Edinburgh

Role

We are working with a growing financial planning company to secure an experienced Financial Planner to join their Edinburgh office, taking over the management of an established portfolio of clients. This is an interesting and unique opportunity, as the business is actively developing how these clients are looked after and advised, giving the successful candidate real scope to shape the ongoing service and build out a proper, rounded financial planning relationship with them.

  • You will take on a portfolio including a number of higher value, more complex client relationships, alongside a broader client base, and will play an ongoing role in developing the depth and breadth of advice provided to these clients as the offering evolves.
  • There is also the opportunity to mentor and coach more junior planners as the business continues to grow, with potential scope to step into a management role within the office further down the line for the right person.

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.
