The Challenge

What Australian Advisers Are Up Against

The financial advice industry is under intense pressure. Here is what we hear from Australian practices every day:

Rising Operational Costs

Onshore paraplanners cost $100–$150/hr. As compliance requirements grow, so does your staffing bill—eating into margins that are already thin.

Talent Shortage

Finding qualified paraplanners in Australia is harder than ever. The industry lost thousands of advisers post-Royal Commission, and skilled support staff followed.

Compliance Overload

ASIC scrutiny, FASEA standards, and the Quality of Advice Review mean more documentation, more reviews, and more time away from your clients.

The Backoffice Model

Your Remote Paraplanning & Backoffice Partner

MCR Global bridges Australia's advice backoffice capacity gap with qualified finance professionals from top Indian institutions holding CA, CFA, MBA, CFP, B.Com, and M.Com credentials.

Our dedicated team securely logs directly into your existing software (Xplan, Plutosoft, Midwinter), working exclusively for your practice using your preferred templates. By empowering our paraplanners with AI automation tools, we ensure rapid on-time delivery—backed by a strict 100% manual QA verification process.
