“ Working at Abound Paraplanning is a one-of-a-kind experience. It makes me feel proud when I look back at how much we have grown and accomplished since 2012, when I first started working here and we were a team of only 5 people. You will be surrounded by young and ambitious people who work really hard but still enjoy their job as it is unlike anything they have come across before. It’s challenging and dynamic, makes you learn and evolve and every task is a different story. One thing is for sure, it never gets boring. ”

We start learning from scratch and then, as years pass by, we become experts and very detail oriented. In a nutshell, we are a helping hand to financial advisers in Australia. The job is like solving a puzzle, and the result is a flawless financial plan that is sent to a client. We have an opportunity to deal with top-notch financial products and strategies aimed at helping individuals sort out their financial matters. If this sounds too complicated, no worries, we get help from our colleagues when needed or, at least, until we are ready to fly solo.”
