You likely have clients who are raising children entering adulthood. While parenting is not a core focus area in financial advisory services, you are uniquely situated to provide valuable support to your clients who are teaching their children to become financially responsible.

Financial literacy is fundamental to financial independence and prudence. However, financial topics and skills are often omitted from traditional school curriculum, leaving the teaching responsibility to parents. In addition to leading by example, your clients may wish to engage their children in structured conversations regarding financial responsibility. To help you guide these discussions, we have created this checklist to address many of the planning issues that young people face when first starting out financially. It covers basic financial topics, including:

Goal setting
Cash flow management
Saving strategies
Credit and debt management
Risk management

“The decision tree format has been immensely helpful. The design is very simple and elegant.”

— Deirdre, an advisor in Massachusetts

“With working from home most of 2020, we wanted to still catch some face time with our clients. We used the checklists and flowcharts to conduct webinars covering various topics. In fact, having the charts readily available, we were able to do many of these on a weekly basis, knowing the material was pretty much already established. We had such great feedback that we are continuing the webinars into 2021. We have many that actually look forward to our meeting times, and found being able to have the flowchart or checklist available to work on their own later was an added bonus.”

— An advisor in Texas
