"Carl and the team at The Paraplanning Partnership have been an integral part of my business since joining SJP in 2019. They keep me compliant, have a can do attitude and try and take away as much of my workload as is possible. I would have no hesitation and indeed have already done so; in recommending them to any partners wanting a paraplanning service that ensures excellent client outcomes every time."

"Initially I was very reluctant to use a Paraplanner, as I felt it was not only an additional cost to my business, but how could a third party convey in a letter, the discussion had with a client, in my words. However, I decided to give Carl the opportunity and I can honestly say, it is the best decision I have made. He is a pleasure to deal with, very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Carl is delighted to discuss any case with me and this has proven to be extremely beneficial with particularly complex scenarios. Having the confidence in Carl, has given me more time to concentrate on spending more time with clients and allowed me to focus on other ways of growing my business."
