Our Story
Breaking into finance shouldn’t feel like guesswork.
After years working across FTSE 100 Investment Managers, Tier-1 US Alternative Asset Managers, and Advisory roles in London, our team found ourselves constantly reviewing CVs, interviewing candidates, and helping junior colleagues navigate the early stages of their careers.
The patterns began to emerge.
Individuals were not lacking skill or intelligence, they were lacking clarity.
So we built Finance Career Lab to give exactly that.
Clear, honest, industry-tested guidance from someone who has sat on both sides of the table.
No noise. No generic advice. No false promises.
Just straight, practical insight into what matters, what doesn’t, and what will actually move your application forward.
This is a consultancy shaped by real investment industry experience, designed to help you position yourself with precision, compete with confidence, and take meaningful steps toward the investment career you’re aiming for.
Our expertise includes experience across:
-
Investment Management roles at global organisations including Apollo Global Management and Legal and General Investment Management
-
UK Investment Consulting at leading advisory firm
-
Qualified UK Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries
-
Background providing investment strategy insights for institutional investors including Pension Funds, Insurance Companies and Charities
