What is a financial adviser?
Being a financial adviser is all about guiding people towards a secure financial future, and providing peace of mind. They help individuals and businesses to take control of their financial wellbeing, and build long-lasting client relationships, creating bespoke plans to help their clients realise and achieve their aspirations.
If you enjoy building relationships and talking to people, are looking for a rewarding career where you can help others, and are interested in the financial sector, advising could be the career for you.
Think you need to have studied maths? Think again

You don’t need to be great at maths or hold experience in a certain area to become a successful financial adviser. Instead, we look for key qualities, such as resilience, integrity, drive and empathy in our future advisers.
