Day-to-day operating brief

What Paraplanner work looks like in practice

A Paraplanner analyses client information and prepares research and suitability documentation for authorised financial advisers. Terms should define planning areas, fact-find review, product and fund research, cashflow modelling, tax assumptions, report drafting, provider contact, client communication limits, file checks, continuing development and the boundary between technical preparation and giving personal recommendations. Research should show the viable options considered, consistent comparison criteria and why an apparent alternative was excluded. Cashflow output depends on assumptions for inflation, tax, growth and spending, which need explanation rather than false precision. Material gaps in the fact-find should remain visible to the adviser instead of being silently completed from previous records. File preparation should reconcile holdings, costs and provider documents to the current fact-find rather than copying an earlier review. Tax calculations and allowances need their effective period and source. Amendments requested by an adviser should remain traceable so final approval reflects the actual analysis delivered. Replacement business requires explicit comparison of lost benefits, exit costs, new charges and transition risk. The technical file should state which adviser judgement remains outstanding before presentation.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Review client information for planning gaps.
  • Research products funds and strategies.
  • Prepare cashflow and technical analysis.
  • Draft suitability reports and disclosures.
  • Record assumptions queries and file evidence.
