The Holistic Planning Approach to Solving Financial Problems
Financial advisors can approach the creation of a holistic financial plan by employing a four-step process. By using this process, advisors can avoid critical oversites when working to create and maintain a best interest financial plan.
Step 1: Discovery
In this step, the advisor should review their client’s current financial situation and compare that with their economic goals and objectives. When reviewing these steps, it is important that the advisor consider which services their practice offers for their short-term and long-term financial goals.
Step 2: Design
Once a financial advisor can prioritize their customer’s goals and objectives compared to their current financial life and estate, it is time to design the initial plan for implementation.
Step 3: Delivery
As the customer works with their financial advisor to implement their custom holistic plan, it is important to review the progress on a continued basis. At this time, the advisor can work to realign the plan to the customers changing tolerance toward market volatility.
Step 4: Dedication
A holistic advisor is dedicated to proactively communicating with and educating their customers on the impact of different shifts in the market. As these shifts occur, the planner can work on updating their customer’s financial plans and portfolios to ensure that their customer’s needs are met.
Implementing a Holistic Financial Plan
Implementing a holistic financial plan helps financial advisors build a better client experience by simplifying complex financial concepts into common language anyone can understand. As a result, their clients will feel a sense of ownership over their retirement and economic future, creating a better relationship between both parties.
To properly implement this strategy with their customers requires advisors to look at every step of the customer journey and review how they introduce new information, whether digitally or in person.
To get the most out of advanced financial advisor strategies, advisors should meet with the client and revisit the plan to adjust on a regular basis, so they can update information as it becomes available and manage gaps in the market.
Nearly any event in a customer’s life can influence them financially. Hosting annual one-on-one sessions with clients allows them to take ownership of their financial future and ensures the advisor is aware of any changes and makes modifications accordingly.
