A leading regional financial planning practice is looking for a Financial Planner to join them to take over a portfolio of Private Clients in Manchester. They have close links with a local accountancy firm, although they are not in a joint venture with them.

Clients can be from £250k to £5m, but there is no real upper or lower limit; it is dependent on client need and complexity of work. There is a portfolio of approximately £20m to take over. The Financial Planner will also be responsible for sourcing new clients, whether from existing referrals or business development. There is also a professional practice the firm has a relationship with, who do not have an internal Financial Planner, and as such there is business to be worked on.

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.
