Bespoke FCA-Compliant Reports. Seamless Adviser Support. Always Delivered On Time.
At Barker Paraplanning, we understand that great advice depends on great support behind the scenes. That’s where we come in.
We provide outsourced paraplanning services to financial advisers, planners, and wealth managers across the UK—delivering precise, personalised reports that are fully FCA-compliant and aligned with your firm's tone of voice.
Founded by Thomas Barker, Barker Paraplanning draws on first-hand experience supporting the Managing Director of a £1bn AUM firm in Central London. That role shaped our obsession with accuracy, efficiency, and regulatory integrity.
Today, our mission is simple:
Whether you're a solo adviser looking for dependable backup, or a fast-scaling firm in need of overflow support, we become an extension of your team—without the overhead.
We’re not just another report factory. We're your compliance-conscious, detail-obsessed partner.
We create FCA-compliant suitability reports that reflect your advice accurately and professionally. Every report is tailored to your firm's tone and structured to clearly communicate complex recommendations — helping you deliver better outcomes, faster.
We analyse fund switches, platform changes, and product recommendations — providing clear, compliant analysis that supports your advice process. Our service ensures your recommendations are documented and delivered with clarity and confidence.
From layered financial plans to multi-product strategies, we bring clarity to complexity. Our reports simplify your advice into structured documentation that meets compliance standards and helps your clients understand their financial journey.
Keep clients engaged and informed with structured review and update reports. We help streamline your ongoing advice process by providing clean, consistent documentation tailored to your format and workflow.
We produce clear, lifetime cashflow forecasts to support your financial planning advice. Whether using your existing software or spreadsheet-based tools, our reports help demonstrate future income strategies in an easy-to-follow format.
We support the growth of advice firms by helping connect them with individuals who are actively exploring financial planning options. Every introduction is carefully matched to ensure it aligns with the adviser’s service offering and client type — helping both parties move forward with confidence.
You’ll always deal with a dedicated paraplanner who understands your firm, your process, and your clients. We’re not a faceless service — we become part of your team.
FCA standards are built into everything we do. From suitability reports to strategy documentation, our work is structured to pass compliance checks without delay.
Need support on one case or fifty? We scale with your business — delivering consistent quality without adding headcount or overheads.
We match your reporting style and tone to ensure continuity across your client communications. Every document reads like it came from your own team.
"Working with Tom has been an absolute pleasure. As a paraplanner, he brings a combination of technical expertise and attention to detail that makes a real difference day to day. He consistently goes above and beyond to support both advisers and clients.
From day one, he’s provided an incredibly reliable and high-quality service that’s given us the confidence and support we needed to grow. He's played a key role in helping get our company off the ground, and we couldn’t have done it without him"
– James Harvey, Director at Forseti Wealth Partners
We provide tailored paraplanning support, including suitability report writing, research and analysis, cashflow modelling, and support with complex financial planning strategies.

Typically 3–5 working days depending on case complexity. We also offer an urgent service for time-sensitive cases — subject to capacity — which can be delivered same or next day.
