Financial Planning firms have told Financial Planning Today that they have had their growth plans held back due to struggles in finding the right Paraplanning, compliance, IT and legal staff to join their teams.

The annual conference of the Paraplanners Assembly community will go virtual for the second year in a row in September and adopt a space theme.

Experienced Paraplanner Kim Bendall has launched an outsourced Paraplanning firm called Go Paraplanning.

Working from home can be daunting at first but many Paraplanners have risen to the challenge during the pandemic, according to a report in the latest Financial Planning Today magazine - sister publication to Financial Planning Today website.
