Building an Efficient Practice: A New Business Paradigm
Many financial planners began as one-person shops and grew into larger, more complex practices. With this growth, efficiency of operations has become a major concern. Competing with larger firms is more difficult with profit margins shrinking and client demands for more services from their advisors.
This course reviews methodologies for improving the efficiency of practice operations through a review of technology, systems and procedures that can vastly improve operational efficiency and increase net profit without sacrificing quality.

The Financial Planning Update Process: An Advanced Model Using Data Retrieval and Comparison Efficiencies
Two (2) CFP CEU Credits to be awarded
With the advent of sophisticated financial planning techniques, some planners have found the delivery of ongoing advice to their clients to be a time-consuming,
if not inefficient aspect of their practice. This course focuses on developing an advanced update model which allows the financial planner to concentrate more on developing a meaningful relationship with their clients.
The course reviews methodologies for gathering and comparing historical client related data that can be organized more efficiently for use in an updated financial plan. Inefficiencies in the financial plan update process and/or ongoing advice delivery could translate into clients not following planner recommendations and eventually lead to client dissatisfaction.
As today’s financial plans often include such diverse elements as sophisticated asset allocation strategies, estate planning and other data sensitive aspects of
the financial planning process, the course uncovers ways to share this information seamlessly across differing analytical platforms and to seamlessly integrate these diverse elements in an update plan that provides ongoing quality of advice to the client.
