Course Description

Financial planning and guidance can be challenging when we can’t meet face to face but the “new norm” is keeping us apart.  This webinar will teach you how to deliver a truly engaging financial planning experience using an exciting new visual format that is so simple and fun to use that you will want to work on your own financial plan before your clients!  It’s simplicity on the other side of complexity. And this process is just as valuable during our lockdown as it will be for many years to come in your client-facing practice. This course will not only show you how quickly and easy you can help your clients clearly understand their financial decisions but also share with you best practices for running a remote practice of any kind.

A picture reduces the barrier to communication, whether in person or remotely.  This is a game-changer for financial planners and clients alike!  Join Susan Joy Bruno CPA/PFS, CFP, and H. Adam Holt, ChFC, CFP, and Founder of Asset-Map as they share their industry experience delivering financial guidance on a single screen.

  • See how social distancing can be overcome with remote-run client meetings
