What Inspires Us?



Simply Paraplanner was founded to show paraplanners that you do have a choice when planning your life and career in the financial planning industry. Inside the portal we focus on this... helping you pursue a career that you're passionate about without compromisng your lifestyle.

My name is Alex Hopkin, and I’m on a mission to help more paraplanners start their business, find remote work and change their lifestyle. As a virtual paraplanner, outdoor enthusiast, military spouse, and mom to three small boys, I know firsthand the struggles of entering the financial industry on your own terms. I am an AFC® and CFP® professional with years of experience in the industry, but when I moved overseas with my husband, I quickly realized that traditional paraplanning positions weren't possible with my lifestyle and I needed to do something a little different.

That’s exactly why I created Simply Paraplanner. Our mission is to help more paraplanners start their own business, allowing them to live life on their own terms. We work to help paraplanners find flexible, remote positions within the financial planning industry—and that flexibility is key! My family has called Japan, Oklahoma, and now Hawaii our home, and I’ve brought my work with me as I go. Today, I love exploring our new home, and most times you’ll find me living on a flexible schedule, dictating my own work to fit my lifestyle. And that’s exactly what we want for you!

Happy Portal Members

Well just don't take our word for it. Words from a few happy people!

As a career changer, I was trying to figure out where and how I would fit in with my new career as a financial planner. I knew that I didn’t want to work at a large broker-dealer in a sales position. Before passing the CFP® exam, I was very fortunate to cross paths with Alex who told me about virtual paraplanning. Simply Paraplanner (SP) opened a door for me I never knew existed and became the community I very much needed during my career transition.
- Sandy

I joined the organizations I was told to but nothing seemed to help my particular situation until hearing about Alex Hopkin and Simply Paraplanner one day from Michael Kitces. I listened to the podcast and after hearing her story resemble my personal situation, I immediately joined Simply Paraplanner.
Honestly, I didn’t even know what a paraplanner was before that and after doing a little homework I initially thought that it was a rank under that of a CFP® but my mind quickly changed as I found out what the requirements are and how integral a paraplanner is to any firm.
Simply Paraplanner has been a blessing for me with the eMoney and MGP Software training, the valuable insights and tips from other paraplanners (& CFP’s®), the monthly coaching sessions, the guidance to be a virtual paraplanner, the documents, and of course, the support.

Not Sure If Paraplanner Portal Is Right For You?

Who The Portal Is For:

  • Those who are so ready to ditch the 9-5 and get off the corporate ladder.
  • Individuals who do not fit into the traditional mold of a financial planner, but still have a passion for the industry.
  • Those who want more control over their career path because they value work/life balance.
  • If you love the technical side of financial planning and you are ready to join a community of forward-thinking trail blazers redefining the role of a paraplanner.
  • Firm owners who want their paraplanner to join a community of paraplanners, learn new technology and stay ahead of industry change.

The Portal Is Not For:

  • Someone who is looking for a done for you solution. We’re not a corporation, and we were not looking to put you in a 9-5. We are helping you create a lifestyle.
  • People expecting guaranteed results - we know what we teach works (because we’re doing it ourselves) but we can’t guarantee specific results from following our advice. I hate to break it to you, but no one can make that promise!
  • People who don't have drive and never finish anything they start. This is not the community for you. Becoming a virtual paraplanner takes commitment and focus. This time next year you will be glad you started is the right mentality.
  • People looking for a get rich quick solution - if you think becoming a paraplanner is going to make you rich overnight, we’re not the right choice for you! We help you build a solid future.
  • Those looking to HIRE. We have a job board for that!
