Cultivating Integrity, Honesty and Care

Our Cadetship Program is a purposely designed pathway to thoroughly train and develop the next generation of Financial Advisers from the ground up.

Built around real client work, it blends University learning and theory parallel to hands-on responsibility with intentional mentoring to ensure cadets don’t just learn the theory of advice, they learn how to practise it with care, accuracy, and professionalism.

Embedded within the operational heartbeat of the business, cadets support Advisers with client servicing, administration, and paraplanning while also progressively building the people skills required to step confidently into an advising role.

CEO, Adviser and founder of Smart Financial, Michael Misiti also developed the program. “I have seen first-hand, how building capability within our business provides stability for our clients during every life-stage, and especially as they journey into retirement,” Michael says.

Equally important is the people and culture component of the program.

More than an entry-level role, our Cadetship program is designed to shape capable, compliant, client-focused professionals ready to build long-term careers in financial planning.

Cadets are trained to understand not only what needs to be done, but why it matters for clients and for the integrity of advice.

Michael adds: “We believe this develops our people to be as ethical, as they are competent, while also cultivating a high level of integrity, professionalism, honesty and care. And these are the only type of people we want working for our clients here at Smart Financial.”
