A fully supportive and interactive Paraplanning service for busy Financial Advisers across the UK.
We can work with your existing systems, procedures and compliance support or we can help you to create a more streamlined process, whichever suits you best.
We help Financial Advisers by writing their suitability reports for them, allowing them to spend more time doing what they enjoy the most – being face-to-face with their clients.
If you’re a Financial Adviser who would rather spend more time with your clients than writing reports or are simply too busy, you’ve come to the right place.
We offer a fully supportive and interactive Paraplanning service.
With high standards, a meticulous eye for detail and quick turnaround times, together with the knowledge that our team is up to date with the latest financial legislation and regulations, you can rest assured that CYA has got your back.

Our time-saving services offered to Independent Financial Advisers
In taking the time to get to know you and your approach, each document we produce will be ready to hand over to your client as a finished article so you can get on with doing what you do best, giving great financial advice to your clients, safe in the knowledge that you’ve got professional support from a team with over 30 years of experience in the Financial Services industry.
Suitability Reports
Most Advisers’ skill set lies with the face-to-face aspect of advising and less so in the ‘writing it down’ part. Let us take the pain out of your day by creating your suitability reports for you.
Research & Analysis
Most Advisers prefer to do their own research, but from time-to-time need support in this area, and we’re happy to help.
Cashflow Forecasts
Most advisers will use cashflow projections with their ‘at retirement’ clients, and many compliance functions require one to be produced and commented on. We can produce these for you, either using your own software or ours.
Admin Support
We have an Admin Team who can support your own Administrators by undertaking data gathering, chasing providers, obtaining valuations, producing illustrations and ancillary report paperwork.
Continued Suitability Reviews
We can work with you to produce a process and annual review template documentation to suit your business and/or undertake much of the client review process for you. This will free up your time to concentrate on new business.
Transfer Value Comparator (TVC) Analysis
Using our Defined Benefit Transfer analysis tool we can run an in-depth comparison as part of your APTA for your clients, using up-to-date FCA assumptions.
File Checks/Audits
All good IFA businesses should undertake a review of a percentage of business completed by each adviser as evidence of on-going competence. We can undertake this work on your behalf, either as a regular function of your T&C Scheme or as a one-off exercise to provide reassurance.
Our wealth of knowledge and experience has allowed us to work with some of the biggest names in the industry!
Don't just take our word for it...
Rather than us singing our own praises, please see a selection of lovely client testimonials where we have saved them lots of time and stress, allowing them to spend more time with their valued clients.
A1 service and excellent deadline management
I have found over the years that there are report writers, paraplanners and advisers and too often the lines get blurred and duplications and inefficiencies occur. What Sam has provided to me over the last few years will easily transfer to any adviser and allow her knowledge to match and enhance your own, which allows her to compile robust research as required and tailor-made reports in line with your own preferences.
Add to this an A1 service, excellent timekeeping and deadline management, and an informed sounding board at a reasonable cost, then you have the perfect answer to help you spend more time doing what you enjoy (seeing clients), leaving the often time-consuming and less rewarding aspect of your business to a top-class paraplanner.

Invaluable experience and knowledge
We have worked with Sam for several months now. As a relatively young firm, her experience and knowledge has proved invaluable and our only regret is that we didn’t know her when we set the firm up. We would highly recommend her services. We benefit from professional, compliant report writing but also from her sound knowledge of financial services, transparent business practices and fantastic sense of humour. She is a vital member of our team.

I highly recommend CYA
I've been working with Sam and CYA for a few years now and it's been great. She applies grown up thinking to the technical discipline of financial compliance and report writing. She's always available to talk through cases and I highly recommend her services. Thanks for all your help Sam and CYA.

Freedom from lengthy report writing
I have worked with Sam for over 3 years and it has made my job so much easier and quicker to complete business. My time is freed up from writing lengthy reports and I can now spend more time face-to-face with clients and increase revenue.
