In today’s fast-paced financial services landscape, efficiency and cost-effectiveness are crucial. Many financial planning practises, especially smaller ones, face challenges when it comes to managing in-house paraplanning and administration. Outsourcing these functions can provide significant benefits that help your business thrive without the added strain of managing full-time employees.
For small and medium-sized financial planning practises, hiring a full-time paraplanner or administrative staff member can be costly. The financial burden goes beyond just wages — you also need to factor in additional expenses such as:
• Superannuation
• Payroll tax
• Training and development costs
• Office space, equipment, and utilities
• Ongoing employee management
With these overheads, the cost of employing a full-time paraplanner can become deceptively high. On top of this, many in-house paraplanners spend less than 100% of their time on client-related tasks. Much of their time is consumed by other non-productive activities like:
• Answering client phone calls
• Product research
• Administrative duties
• Managing annual leave, sick leave, and other time off
By outsourcing paraplanning and back-office tasks to Plans Plus, your practise can eliminate these costs and inefficiencies, freeing up time to focus on growth and client relationships.
