She has been in the profession since 2006, achieving the level 4 and level 6 diplomas with the London Institute of Banking & Finance (LIBF) and more recently achieved Certified Financial Planner (CFP) certification.   She believes that paraplanning works best as a collaboration between Financial Planner and Paraplanner and having a strong awareness of the skills and personalities involved in both roles is key. This along with a quality mix of experience and qualifications, she feels, is necessary to provide the support Financial Planners want and need.   Sian is the co-founder of The Paraplanner Club, a free to access mentoring programme for anyone who wants to be an awesome Paraplanner. She continues to offer free mentoring through this programme.   She is passionate about the client always being central to the advice and keeping them in focus to ensure the advice is in their best interests, easy for them to understand and aligned with their personal and financial goals is the key to good financial planning. ![Sian Davies Cole](https://adviser3point0.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Sian%20Davies%20Cole.png?width=375&height=590&name=Sian%20Davies%20Cole.png) ## Ready To Book? ## Tuesday, 7th May 12:30 am – 13:30 pm **Why Centralised Research is a Waste of Your Time! ** ## **Headlining Adviser 3.0** Keynote and Q&A with renowned entrepreneur Deborah Meaden and the first ever UK live appearance of ‘Traction’ author and business growth guru, Gino Wickman.
