Paraplanners – The Engine Behind a Truly Successful Financial Planning Firm
Dec 14, 2023 Season 1 Episode 154
Sam Oakes

Back in the world of high-performance Financial Planning pros on the FPL Podcast as this week we’re joined by Sam Patterson, Managing Director of The Patterson Group! 

Sam’s experience in Financial Planning puts him a cut above the rest when it comes to navigating a career as a Paraplanner. After taking on the role himself, Sam moved into managing a team of successful Paraplanners, and has seen some of his colleagues make serious waves in the world of Paraplanning as a career choice since then. 

We establish the value of strong back-office support when it comes to running a successful business, highlighting areas which are often overlooked by those focusing solely on their front line, Financial Advisers. 

Sam now trains, upskills and academically supports Paraplanners looking to excel their career in Financial Planning, meaning he knows he’s in a position to give some highly valuable guidance to those in this niche, yet increasingly recognised role. 

 If you’re a business owner, wondering what you can do to supercharge your back-office, or a Paraplanner, looking to be the best version of yourself in your career, this is the episode for you!
