Umbrella Payroll Banking Contractors Can Trust

Whether you work in banking, insurance, or finance, your skills are often in high demand across a range of industries. Choosing to work through an umbrella company can simplify the process of freelancing, allowing you to focus on your work.

At Parasol, we understand the value you bring to organisations through your financial expertise. Our goal is to ensure you get paid quickly and compliantly, by a team that knows your industry inside out.

1How do I get into the finance sector?
Finance is a competitive industry to get started in, so persistence and knowledge of the sector are key. Here are some points to consider as you get started:

  1. Education: Earning a degree in a related field such as finance, economics, or business administration is a good place to start. A relevant Masters's degree or Chartered Financial Analyst designation can also be useful depending on your career goals and the specific field of finance you want to pursue.
  2. Research: Identifying the type of company or role you want to work in is an important first step in securing a job. Staying up-to-date with financial news and trends
  3. Skills: Developing technical skills and proficiency in financial software like Excel or Bloomberg Terminal are valuable to employers and can provide you with key experience. Industry-recognised certifications may also help with this, depending on your career path.
  4. Network: Finance-related professional organisations and associations are a great way to start networking. Industry events and platforms such as LinkedIn can also help you to connect with finance professionals and potential mentors.
2What is life like in the finance sector?
Life in the finance sector can be dynamic and rewarding for those who are passionate about the industry. There are a wide range of roles and industries for you to explore, including asset management, financial planning, insurance, and corporate management.

Finance professionals often engage in financial analysis, including risk assessment, market research, and investment analysis. Many roles may also involve working closely with both individual clients and corporations, so communication is as important as analytical skills.

The finance sector can offer competitive salaries, bonuses, and incentives that are appealing to anyone trying to break into the industry. As a financial contractor, you can have more of a work-life balance than a traditional employee by having a flexible schedule and working remotely.
3Why do I need an Umbrella company?

An umbrella company is a hassle-free way to get paid. We offer our banking, financial and insurance contractors first-class support and advice, keeping you up to date with legislative and industry changes so you stay compliant.

Umbrella companies will take tax and other deductions automatically from your pay. You’ll become employed by the umbrella company (similar to a traditional employee) which means your NI, tax and other deductions are paid correctly and on time. Keeping you on the right side of HMRC. You’ll get all the statutory benefits associated with traditional employment. This includes annual leave, maternity and paternity pay, sick pay and several other statutory benefits.

You’ll get peace of mind with mortgage applications, loans and other financial commitments. Continuous employment means you can work on several assignments at the same time - or one after another - and stay with the same umbrella company. This gives you continuous employment.

4How to choose the right umbrella company for me?
