Our research, analysis and report writing services plug seamlessly into your business, enhancing your service and driving greater standards of professionalism.

Working with different financial advice businesses over many years means we’ve accumulated knowledge on a wide variety of cases, and can apply this to the work we do for you.

Our services

Every case we work on involves detailed analysis and research to prepare recommendations across strategy, product and investment portfolios as required.

We discuss our findings and recommendations with you and deliver a documentation pack that includes a briefing note, report, illustrations and all supporting research and analysis files.

In working with you, we also sense check the recommendations, drawing on our experience to provide you with a second opinion.

Our expertise spans a number of advice areas including investments, personal and business protection, inheritance tax, asset migration, pension transfers, retirement planning, financial plans and lifetime cash flows.

  • Technical updates

How credits work

Paraplanning credits count towards cases we work on for you every month.

When the number of cases or activity we carry out exceeds the paraplanning credits you have for the month, we invoice for the balance at the end of the month. Don’t worry though – we make sure you’re aware of this beforehand.

Credits renew each month but can’t be carried over to the next month.

A word on our reports

Suitability reports are an important part of any outsourced paraplanning service, and we’ve spent years fine-tuning ours.

Our reports are designed to help clients easily get to grips with their financial situation, meet suitability requirements and provide a tangible example of your professionalism.

We’ve developed our own report writing system and all reports are designed to reflect your branding and corporate identity.
