I'm working with a highly regarded independent financial planning firm based in Solihull that has built an excellent reputation for delivering genuinely bespoke financial advice and putting its clients and people at the heart of what it does. With a collaborative culture, a strong technical team and exciting plans for growth, this is a business where your expertise will be valued and you'll have the opportunity to continue developing your career.

You'll work alongside experienced Financial Planners, supporting a wide range of clients with complex financial planning needs. The role offers plenty of variety, covering pensions, investments, retirement planning, trusts and inheritance tax planning, making it ideal for someone who enjoys the technical side of financial planning.

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.
