How to Use Checklists & Flowcharts

January 28, 2021
How Advisors Use The Checklists and Flowcharts, Getting Started, Planning Management

To help you more fully incorporate checklists and flowcharts into your practice, we’ve outlined many different strategies to consider. This new guide, “How To Use These Checklists & Flowcharts,” will step you – and your team – through various methods and rationales for implementing these resources.


(Download the flowchart here)

Your Secret Sauce

For some advisors, checklists and flowcharts are practical behind-the-scenes tools that support the work they do. You can use our resources to:

  • Gain a high-level overview of a concept before doing additional research.
  • Structure conversations with your team to create consistency and establish a multi-advisor quality control measure.
  • Assure that your conversations cover all discussion points and planning opportunities.
  • Uncover, quickly and systematically, issues and considerations when talking with a client.

Your Client Experience

Engaged and educated clients are among the most loyal. They’ll understand not only the what of their long-term financial plan, but also the why. You can introduce checklists and flowcharts to:

  • Illustrate the complexity of a comprehensive financial planning process and guide them through the experience.
  • Support the decision-making process when you’re formulating a recommendation.
  • Reinforce the financial plan when you add these resources to the reports you prepare for your clients.

Regardless of whether these simple, clear resources are front-and-center with clients or operating in the background, your practice will benefit from the extra level of organization and consistency. Download this “how-to” and consider the strategy that will best complement the way you work.
