Senior Financial Planner
Kent based IFA firm - Maidstone offices
Salary negotiable £70k - £120k plus bonuses
25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
My client are a Chartered independent wealth planning firm with offices across Kent who I have met and placed 10 members of staff with. They offer whole of market financial advice to HNW retirees, accumulators, local families and SME owners based across Sussex, Kent and London. In their current setup they manage the affairs of c.2000 clients (over £650m AUM) with assets ranging from £150k - £20m. The advisers consult on pensions, investments, tax planning, cashflow modelling, retirement planning, protections and some esoteric schemes such as VCT & EIS schemes. They have very longstanding relations with accountancy and solicitor practices who refer business to them and the advisers are not targeted as they have such a strong belief in ensuring clients received the best service rather than stacking up AUM.
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.
