Virtual Business Partners has appointed a new technical lead to oversee its paraplanning capabilities, which it says broadens its offering to clients.
The firm says that Chris Miller has joined as paraplanning technical lead, tasked with developing and broadening VBP’s capabilities by providing technical support, learning, development and mentoring to a team of paraplanners, quality assurance analysts and managers.
VBP says Miller joins from Focus Partners Financial Services, where he has been a paraplanner since January 2020. Before that, he spent four years as both a paraplanner and a financial planner at Generations Personal & Professional Advice in Victoria.
Miller reports to the head of client experience, Sarah Matthews, who was promoted to the newly-created role in January this year. Matthews was previously VBP’s head of advice delivery, and has been at the firm since December 2019.
The company says it provides off-shore specialist assistance and support to Australian-based financial planning firms and was founded in 2013 by financial advice industry veterans David Carney and David Deegan.
