Some careers pay well. Some feel worthwhile. Why choose?
Build a career with purpose, variety and real earning potential through the Mattioli Woods Financial Adviser Academy.
Financial advice is a career where you can make a genuine difference to people's lives - helping them navigate some of their biggest decisions, from building wealth and preparing for retirement to protecting their family and planning what they leave behind.
It's also a career with significant potential. As a financial adviser at Mattioli Woods, you'll have the opportunity for uncapped earnings and a highly rewarding long-term career.
The Mattioli Woods Financial Adviser Academy is designed to help experienced professionals make that move.
This isn't a graduate scheme. We're looking for people who have already built experience elsewhere and are ready to use it differently. You might come from sales, banking, mortgages, recruitment, professional services, account management or another people-focused career.
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.
