Our Services

A Clear and Effective Process

It is quick and easy to start working with us.  We will talk to you to find out what your current processes are and usually work with these to avoid disruption.  You know what works best for you, although we are happy to offer input based on our own experiences so that the process of outsourcing is seamless.

You can choose which elements of your paraplanning you outsource to us based on your team's current expertise and the time savings you wish to make and we will customise the services provided.  This is fully flexible and can vary on a case-by-case basis.


" Brunsdon Financial have been working with Richard and IFA Reports for around 10 years. Richard is an excellent Paraplanner and has extensive knowledge in the pensions advice area, where Richard acted as our Pension Transfer Specialist for defined benefit transfers. Richard also has very good knowledge in all other areas of advice; e.g. investments, tax, protection, etc.

Richard will fit neatly into any advice process and works well with an advising team, as well as an extra resource for an in-house Paraplanning team.

He is a value to our business and we would highly recommend Richard."
