Discover why financial advice is a rewarding career choice for young women and how to navigate the path to success in this often-overlooked profession.

As South Africa celebrates Women’s Month, many young women are reflecting on their future and considering the careers they would like to pursue.

While certain professions often dominate the conversation, financial advice is frequently overlooked, largely because it is still perceived as a career centred on numbers, products and sales.

When I first entered the industry through the PSG Adviser Development Programme, I quickly realised that financial advice is about far more than policies and paperwork. In reality, it is a people-centred profession built on trust, relationships and helping others make informed decisions about their financial wellbeing.

For young women who are looking for a career that combines purpose, personal growth and professional opportunity, it can be a rewarding path worth exploring.
