# Business Description

PJM Paraplanning & Consultancy Services Ltd is a Birmingham-based outsourced paraplanning firm specialising in technical financial planning support for independent financial advisers. The company addresses a common challenge for advisory firms: the cost and complexity of employing full-time paraplanning staff.

The business serves financial advisory practices of various sizes by providing bespoke, scalable paraplanning solutions tailored to individual requirements. Their team comprises chartered financial planners and fellowship-level qualified paraplanners who handle the technical, compliance-heavy work that underpins quality financial advice.

What distinguishes PJM is their commitment to speed and quality—all reports are completed within 5 working days—combined with genuine flexibility. There are no tie-in contracts or retainer fees, allowing advisers to access professional support precisely when needed without long-term financial commitment. They emphasise full GDPR compliance and confidentiality throughout their operations.

The firm positions itself as a compliance partner, helping advisers navigate regulatory requirements whilst freeing them to focus on client relationships and business development. By outsourcing technical reporting and research, advisory firms reduce overhead costs associated with permanent employment whilst accessing expertise equivalent to an in-house paraplanner. This model particularly appeals to smaller and mid-sized practices seeking professional-grade support without the associated employment expenses like pension contributions, holiday pay, and sick leave.
