For Planning-Focused RIA's
Entering your clients' financial data, plan modeling, and analysis is time-consuming and requires focused attention on the details. This work is my passion — I am in the zone when I am doing deep work. Let ParaPlanNet take the tedious tasks off your to-do list so you can focus your time in the "highest and best" place it belongs — with your clients.
As your Planning Partner I collaborate closely with you.
I am flexible * I adapt to your work style * I follow your workflows and processes * I offer advice on how to make things better when needed * I clean up data when I find outdated information * I improve your files to keep your Planning Folders up-to-date
