Job description

Benchmark Capital |

• APC Academy of Financial Advisers

Redefine Success.

Build Legacy.

Own Your Future.

Are you a young graduate with ambition, a professional ready for a second career, or an emerging adviser looking for a platform to truly succeed?

The APC Academy, powered by Benchmark Capital and the Advisory Partners Collective, is specifically designed to show talented future professionals how to build life‑changing, lucrative careers in financial planning.

This is where ambition, training, and opportunity meet — and where you learn to build your own business, backed by a national group with world‑class support.

What Makes the APC Academy Different

This is not a "learn and leave" programme — it is a career‑building platform.

We Teach You How to Build a Sustainable, Profitable Practice

From compliance to client acquisition, financial strategies to entrepreneurial skills — you are equipped to build a business that lasts.

Independence With Protection & Benefits

You run your own practice and control your earnings, while enjoying the systems, brand power, and infrastructure of a national advisory group.

Experienced advisers, principals, and financial experts walk the journey with you — sharing real‑world advice, strategies, and support.

Client Introductions & Lead Channels

We don't drop you in the deep end — we help you start fast, build credibility, and generate cash flow early, giving you the best chance of long‑term success.

Maximum Share Benefits (Critical for Cash Flow)

Advisers in the academy enjoy favourable revenue sharing while building their book — because you cannot grow a sustainable practice without healthy early income.

Who the Academy is Built For

Graduates: Finance, economics, commerce, marketing, business management

Professional Career-Changers: Banking, insurance, sales, accounting, teaching, real estate, and other client‑facing roles

Emerging Advisers: Those wanting a stronger platform, a mentoring culture, and a real career path

If you are hardworking, entrepreneurial, coachable, and serious about building wealth for clients and yourself — this is your opportunity.

What You Will Do

• Learn to advise individuals and businesses on investments, risk, retirement, and wealth strategy
• Build a portfolio of long‑term clients
• Work with the APC support ecosystem: admin, compliance, technology, training, and specialists
• Grow from Academy Adviser to Professional Adviser and eventually Senior Partner

The Benchmark & APC Advantage

• National brand strength with local in‑branch support
• Admin & operational infrastructure so you can focus on advice, not paperwork
• World‑class product providers and in‑house specialists
• Partnership & succession opportunities for long‑term wealth creation
• A winning culture built on excellence, integrity, mentorship, and performance
