Client relationship manager.

Or, continue to a master’s degree in business to broaden your career prospects.

Since January 2019, new national rules have required anyone wanting to become a financial planner to complete an accredited degree that includes approved study of ethics. The new rules also introduced extra professional requirements. As well as an approved degree, financial planners must complete a professional year including undertaking Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and pass a national exam.
