What do we do?





Our vision is to give you, Financial Planners, Advisers, and in house and outsourced Paraplanners a truly bespoke service that meets the needs of your clients, your team and your business. 


We believe the way to do that is by making sure we fully understand you, how you work, your business and your clients. This enables us to fit into and work as part of your team, giving you the tailored support you want for you, your business and team, and a seamless streamlined service for your clients. 


The services we offer are:

Internal Process and Productivity Reviews 

 

We all have our own way of working but sometimes we can get stuck in a rut!


If you are experiencing delays in the client journey, or you want to improve productivity within the business and team, it is often helpful to bring in a second pair of eyes.


Sparrow Solutions can help review how you do things to see if there are any ways to update or fine tune your processes or procedures to enhance your clients' experiences. 



Template Report and Letter Drafting and Review Service

 

Reports are complex things and it can be difficult to make sure they explain everything the client needs to know in a clear and simple way, meet all the regulatory requirements, and are still visually appealing and easy to read.


We can review your existing templates or create new ones for you to make sure they are in plain English, are simple to understand and in a client friendly format.


We can then help train your team with any new templates to make sure all client reports and communications are simple, engaging, written in the way you want and something your clients can't wait to read!


We can also create Report Writing Guides and Manuals to ensure all current and future members of your team have everything they need to write reports the way you want, and in line with your house style.


Paraplanner Training, Development and Mentoring


You have your own paraplanning team but would like some help with their ongoing development and training.


We can provide training, coaching and mentoring support to help your paraplanning team grow and develop to help meet the needs of your clients and the business.  This could be for a one off or series of sessions, a more extended period or even a bit of flash mentoring!




File Review Service

 

We offer a file review service to check your case meets all your compliance and suitability requirements and your report is client friendly and engaging, helping you to keep giving your high quality service to your clients. 


We can also give handy tips and suggestions to ensure your files are always in tip top shape!



Report Peer Review Service 


It’s easy to go a bit word and jargon blind when you're working on a report for a complex case. 


We can help you with this; our Peer Review Service can give you a fresh pair of eyes to check over your report, giving you a chance to rest your tired ones! 




Preparation of client newsletters

 

We can assist with your client communications such as newsletters, blogs or any other updates to help make sure they are something the client looks forward to reading! 





Project and Consultancy services 

 

We are also able to help with any project or consultancy needs you may have that aren't covered here - just give us a call for a chat about what help you're looking for.
