Self-Employed Financial Adviser
Build your future with Eight Financial Advice
Eight Financial Advice is growing, and we’re looking for an experienced, Diploma-qualified Financial Adviser to join our team in Whiteley.
With £5bn in funds under management and more than 20,000 clients across the UK, Eight Financial Advice has built a successful advice business around putting clients first while giving our Advisers the support they need to focus on what they do best – providing great financial advice.
As a self-employed Adviser, you'll have the opportunity to build and grow your own client bank, supported by an established business, an existing client base and a team around you.
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.
