A big thank you to everyone who participated in our Parameters surveys in 2024.
We had some exceptional and insightful responses when we asked for your views and experiences and we very much appreciate all the responses we received.
Across the year we covered issues such as:
Tax changes from the new Labour Government
Paraplanners views on AI in paraplanning
Paraplanner to adviser: what’s the right ratio?
Measuring paraplanning output and quality
The lack of pay structure and reviews for paraplanners
Cashflow – why, where and how it is used
How so few firms have a defined career path for paraplanners
The advice that would have helped you as a new paraplanner
and many more.
For 2025, we would like to get even more of you involved, giving us your views on the issues raised.
Every month we send out an email with a link to the survey questions, which should take around 8 minutes to complete in full. There is no obligation to complete every question; we welcome all answers we receive.
As an incentive to participate, every survey we have a prize draw for £50 of Amazon vouchers and we pull out the name of one participant to be the lucky winner.
We also welcome questions to your fellow paraplanners. So if you want to know how other paraplanners are approaching a particular issue or task, for example, ask the question at the end of the survey form. We choose 1-3 peer-to-per questions to ask every survey.
Please keep an eye out for our dedicated parameters email and take part.
