Financial Adviser

Be proud of the advice you give. Be proud of the business you’re part of.

You believe in brilliant financial planning — but you’re stuck with clunky systems, expensive fees, poor investment choices, or a lack of meaningful support. You’re constantly doing your best in a structure that doesn’t feel built for you — or your clients.

We believe it shouldn’t be this hard to do advice properly.

At Octopus Money, we’re building something different — and we’re looking for ambitious, values-driven advisers to join us.

About Octopus Money

At Octopus Money, we’re on a mission to make money advice accessible to all – because the right advice can turn your life dreams into reality.

The facts are alarming: half of Brits reach retirement age without enough money to live the life they want, financial stress is a leading cause of poor mental health and only 8% of us have access to 1-to-1 advice. There’s plenty of information out there, but most of us just wish that someone we trust would tell us what to do with our money! 

With Octopus, you get a personalised plan and a friendly expert to help you make it happen. We combine advisers, coaches and technology to understand your situation and recommend the right steps for your savings, investments, pensions and more. Then, we make it easy to invest in a custom portfolio, managed by experts.

We believe everyone deserves personal, 1-to-1 advice with their money.

We want everything we do, whether that’s in financial services or energy supply, to have a positive impact on the people it touches. The energy supply business - Octopus Energy is the #1 rated UK energy supply business, and the only one to be recommended by Which? three years in a row.
