Discover the difference: an introduction to Financial Planning

18 June 2015, Mercure Brandon Hall, Coventry

This one day event provided an introduction to the six step Financial Planning process. Experienced CFP^CM professionals explored the “how” behind the globally recognised six step Financial Planning process sharing practical tips, insight and best practice, whilst revealing what they do and how they do it within their businesses.

Here’s what delegates have taken away from past Financial Planning days:

"It has made me think more about the client experience and how we can add more value." Trea Duffy, 336 Financial Management
"To implement processes into my business that will allow me to follow the 6 stages and to implement before and after appointment communication for client reviews." Stuart Huxtable, True Potential Wealth Management
"Place greater emphasis on PLANNING before moving on to the advising stage of the overall process." Mark Coomber, FPSS Financial Planning
“There is a difference in the way the six step process works and it's tailored to the requirements of the clients and planner.” Karen White, HC Wealth Management
"I now know that what I am doing in terms of Financial Planning is the most appropriate way to deliver a great service proposition and I need to make sure I continue to build my systems and processes in order to deliver it." Bernard McKernan, Riverside Financial Planning Ltd
