FAQs

What is the role of a Paraplanner?

 A Paraplanner plays a critical role in financial practices by crafting Statements of Advice (SoA), Records of Advice (RoA), Investment Portfolio Reviews (IPRs) and Strategy/Discussion Papers. Working exclusively within a practice, VBP Paraplanners build strong relationships with advisers, resulting in higher-quality, compliant and collaborative advice documents.

What tasks can a VBP Paraplanner perform?
Our Paraplanners prepare SoAs and RoAs, perform financial modelling, complete investment portfolio reviews, write strategy and discussion papers and conduct ad hoc scenario modelling. They also assist with research and analysis to support best-interest recommendations.
Do VBP Paraplanners hold relevant qualifications?
 Yes. All VBP Paraplanners have earned their Advanced Diploma of Paraplanning and completed case studies across core advice areas including Superannuation, Insurance, Pensions, Non-Super Investments and Product Replacement.
What does the training and onboarding process look like?

 VBP Paraplanners undergo an intensive 8-week program that includes recruitment screening, technical training, quality assurance and tailored client onboarding. This ensures a smooth handover and readiness to contribute from day one.

Can I customise the role to suit my practice’s advice process and tools?

 Yes. Paraplanners are embedded within your team and can work within your existing templates, compliance processes and platforms. We support a range of tools, including Xplan and can adjust to your firm’s documentation style.

How is quality and compliance managed?

 Each SoA or RoA is reviewed through our internal quality assurance (QA) process before being submitted to your practice. Paraplanners also have access to strategy confirmation sessions with our in-house subject matter experts. 

Can VBP Paraplanners support complex strategies?

 Yes. Paraplanners with 12+ months of tenure in a practice can undertake more advanced tasks including SMSF and gearing strategy papers. Additional masterclasses are provided as part of their upskilling. 

Are your services suitable for smaller or boutique advice firms?

 Definitely. Our model is built for scalability, so smaller advice businesses can access high-quality paraplanning support without the overhead of hiring in-house. You can start small and grow support as needed.

How does a dedicated paraplanner improve my business?

 A consistent paraplanner becomes deeply familiar with your advice style, systems and compliance standards: leading to faster turnaround times, higher quality documents and reduced rework or clarification cycles. 

Can VBP support both ongoing and overflow paraplanning needs?

 Yes. We support firms looking for consistent, embedded paraplanning as well as those needing project or overflow capacity during busy periods or staff leave. 

How is data security handled for sensitive client information?

 We are ISO 27001 certified and compliant with Australian privacy laws. All client data is handled through secure platforms with strict access protocols, giving you peace of mind.

How quickly can a Paraplanner start with my firm?

 Once your needs are scoped, we match you with a candidate and begin onboarding. The full setup and onboarding process is typically completed within a few weeks.
