Paraplanning Services
Outsourced Paraplanning Services for Australian Financial Advisers
Your primary focus should be building client relationships and delivering exceptional financial advice. At Pro Astra Globus, we act as a direct extension of your practice, managing the research, compliance, and Statement of Advice (SOA) preparation.
Whether you are an independent financial planner or part of a large group, our outsourced paraplanning services help you scale efficiently, reduce overhead costs, and eliminate the tedious recruitment process.
End-to-End Financial Paraplanning Support
We provide comprehensive paraplanning and administration support across every stage of the advice delivery process. Our experienced team manages everything from initial fact-finding to final implementation.
Pre-SOA Research & Strategy Development
Accurate financial modeling requires precise data. We lay the groundwork before you finalize your strategy.
-
Information Gathering: We send authorities to various financial institutions and super funds to extract policy details and account balances.
-
Detailed Comparison Reports: We prepare objective comparison reports across superannuation, insurance, investments, and mortgages.
-
Financial Modeling: We build cash flow scenario models, calculate specific life insurance requirements, and prepare insurance quotes.
-
Strategy Framing: We assist with framing SMART goals, portfolio modeling, and developing viable alternative strategies for your clients.
Compliant SOA and
ROA Preparation
We turn your strategies into clear, highly readable, and fully compliant advice documents. Our paraplanners draft Statements of Advice and Records of Advice for a wide range of financial scenarios, including:
-
Superannuation rollovers, consolidations, and rebalancing.

Personal insurance structuring.
-
Complex wealth management, including investments outside super, Account-Based Pensions (ABP), and Transition to Retirement (TTR).
-
Specialized entity structuring, encompassing Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSF) trusts, aged care, and debt management.
Post-SOA Implementation
Getting the client to sign is only the first step. We handle the administrative paperwork required to put your advice into action.
-
Form Preparation: We accurately complete all necessary application and compliance forms.
-
Provider Follow-Ups: We actively follow up with product providers and institutions to ensure rollovers and policy issuances finish on time.
