Kitces research on what makes financial planning more efficient

Financial planning may be valuable for clients, but it’s time-consuming to deliver as a financial adviser, which impacts everything from the price that advisers charge for a financial plan, to the breadth of clients that can be served, and the staffing and technology infrastructure to deliver financial planning advice. In this session, we explore the latest Kitces Research study on “How Financial Advisers Really Do Financial Planning”, to understand how long it really takes to create and deliver a financial plan, where time-savings opportunities are (or are not), the role of staff support in scaling financial advice, how technology impacts planning efficiencies, and the interaction between planning expertise (in the form of advanced designations like CFP certification), experience, and niche specialisations, in making the delivery of financial planning more efficient.
