Advisors are able to outsource the more time-consuming operational elements of plan generation to a team of LPL-employed paraplanners who operate as an extension of the advisor’s practice. Paraplanners work together with advisors to learn about their clients’ needs. They gather and input data into financial planning software to generate insights and provide advisors with a complete financial plan for their clients. This plan becomes the guide for advisors and their clients, with plan maintenance available on an annual basis.
