Managing Client Data To Benefit Independent Financial Advisors & Their Clients  

Article by Tucker Williams









One of the hottest topics today in the world of Independent Financial Advisors is financial-oriented client management systems.

These can be available in a variety of formats, such as WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation or CRM (Customer Relationship Management), each holding the promise of enabling much greater advisor efficiency, better collaboration across teams, and improved client service.

But more often than not, such solutions for this industry have long suffered from being too generic and lacking the financial data and advisor-specific business processes to really improve an independent practice.

However, 2011 saw great improvements in these solutions, breathing a much-welcome sigh of relief into Independent Financial Advisors everywhere.

“There is an overwhelming wealth of information an Independent Financial Advisor must keep on top of at all times in order to profitably serve his clients,” said Chris Hastings, CEO of Sapphire Software Services, which developed one of the more popular WPF systems this past year in Panoramix, a portfolio management dashboard for independent financial advisors. “And with today’s technology advancing at such a rapid pace and making life so much easier in all industries, we knew there had to be a solution.”

Indeed these programs are a solution. But they’re also a process. No such solution can help make a task, workflow or process more efficient if you haven’t defined it first. If you don’t already have a model for how your replicable tasks should be handled, such as new account procedures, how financial plans are developed and monitored, or all the tasks that have to be delegated when a client changes marital status, then a financial management system isn’t going to magically help make you more productive.

It’s also imperative that you rely on your system of choice to do its job, meaning everyone in the firm must use it without exception. One person still relying on the post-it note system for task monitoring and communication can undermine the entire team, since data and process steps will be lost.

When selecting the right system, financial advisors have to consider a number of technical features to determine what is right for them.

The main requirement is that the system has to be the primary repository for critical client data, including asset details, income information, financial goals, and, in general, all aspects of what it takes to “know” your client and offer them advice.

There are a myriad of tools that claim to be for advisors, but are really only glorified prospecting or contact management tools, with a few financial attributes bolted on for good measure.

If you can’t live in your new system and have complete visibility to your clients and business processes, it’s not a complete system. A complete financial management system should have a document vault, an activity archive, management reports, as well as opportunity tracking and task management. A growing number of small office and independent advisors are realizing the benefits of web-hosted applications so they do not need to manage and maintain in-house servers or complex databases.

This is why programs like Panoramix and others have been so well received by independent financial advisors nationwide: they provide ‘one-stop shopping’ in complete management of client business, and are web-based and quite customizable to a shop’s certain way of doing business.

Also – and perhaps most importantly – the main criteria when selecting a complete financial management solution is to determine what other applications it is integrated with. For example, re-entering data completely negates any effectiveness of a new program, so integration with specific best of breed products to suit the advisor’s needs is important to consider, not just the standalone merits of the chosen system.

Why? A majority of small office advisors work primarily in Outlook and/or Google Calendars to manage their client contact information and daily task and meeting schedules, while working in another tool for clients’ financial details. As a result, many advisors are looking for a solution which works seamlessly within Outlook and Google Calendar to reduce their learning curve and avoid additional complicated overhead.

Panoramix, for example, is technically a web deployed, WPF client application, with cloud based data and services. Which means no no clumsy install or update process (instead, web deployed and updated). And as a WPF desktop application, this allows the ability to perform seamless integration and automation tasks with other software on the computer – such as the aforementioned Outlook and Google Calendars applications.

Advisors looking to reduce overhead and make their practice more efficient are well-advised to explore and compare various solutions to incorporate into their practice. And to make such a deployment successful, it takes some up-front planning and expenditures to get the most out of the system.

“Take your time in researching what’s best for your practice’s specific needs,” advises Hastings. “Done properly, a proper financial management system can be an outstanding foundation for improving your practice, and the value you can offer to clients.”

In short, everybody wins.

Wealth Management – Managing Your Investment Portfolio  

Article by Robert Fogarty









Wealth management is a highly specialized discipline that is particularly useful for high net-worth individuals and organizations. This includes planning for aspects like investment, insurance, retirement, asset protection, tax planning, business planning, etc.

A good financial adviser or management company would begin by understanding the client’s lifestyle, earnings, and financial goals. Thereafter, they would plan how to deal with taxes, inflation, lawsuits, creditors, etc. so that the preferred lifestyle could be maintained and the financial profit could be maximized.

One of the most popular aspects of wealth management is tax planning. This might include setting up trusts, charity and donation planning, or taking steps to maximize tax benefits. This also requires critical estate planning. This is to ensure that the estate is saved from creditors, taxes, and lawsuits. Also, estate planning would help the estate go to the rightful heirs or the people that the owner intends in case of death. Wealth managers should provide help with handling mortgages, college funding, etc. These managers should also be adept at advising about expenses that an individual might like to make.

Do you require expert help?

The definition of high net worth individuals is different in each country. However, according to a common definition, individuals with assets worth more than US million, without including their residential premises, are seen as high net worth individuals. Several high net worth individuals manage their own assets and portfolios. But some people might not have the time to do so. Others might feel that they do not have the necessary expertise to maintain their high net worth in the dynamic market situation. The managers step in to help such people with proper planning.

Investment options are varied for the degree of the wealth that is to be managed. ‘Private’ and ‘Corporate’ wealth management are different according to two main aspects.

The timeline are different for these two options. Naturally, financial strategies for the lifetime of an individual would be very different from those required for a corporate entity. Tax management for individuals is also more complex than that for corporate entities. Also, individuals have to keep in mind their earning potential and have their portfolios managed in a way to maximize this potential. Individuals of high net worth would also require tax planning very specific to their individual lifestyle and requirement.

Several big banking and investment firms have particularly created divisions to cater to affluent clients for private wealth management. Some firms have retail divisions tiered according to clients divided in groups depending upon assets worth below million, and more than million.

Several universities in the USA, UK, and Australia started offering programs on wealth management to private investors back in the 1990s. Thousands from around the world have attended these programs. The students have included both those who wanted to excel as wealth managers themselves and those who wanted to manage their wealth themselves.

Wealth management has become even more vital in the modern economic scenario with the risk of recession and downturn afflicting all the economies of the world.

Job Description For a Financial Manager Position  

financial management
by Fylkesarkivet i Sogn og Fjordane

Article by Loren Yadeski









Knowing the job description for any job position that you are applying for is essential in any job hunting venture. Job descriptions are typically posted in the job posting that you saw or received. Typically, these job descriptions should include the responsibilities that the position have and the qualifications that it entails. For this article, the responsibilities and the qualifications for a position as a financial manager is briefly discussed.

Financial managers, as the name suggests are primarily responsible in coordinating and directing the financial activities of the workers in a company department, branch or office. Financial managers are usually needed in branches of banks, insurance or credit department and brokerage firms. There are three primary objectives that a financial manager should always have in mind and these are: (1) to be able to direct the financial transactions of employees and make sure that they are well coordinated; (2) to reject or approve credit lines with regards to various transactions such as real estate or commercial and (3) credit lines with regards to loans for personal use.

Apart from the mentioned primary responsibilities, having an up-to-date record of the financial transactions of the company is also a part of his responsibilities. He must analyze this information to be able to assess the current state of the company and make projections of where the company will and should stand in the future. Through these projections, he should be able to decide on who among the clients should be approved or declined of a loan. He must also ensure that the records and financial documents that he possesses are carefully kept and that a proper procedure should always be followed in obtaining such documents. Apart from analyzing the said information, he must be able to relate all these information to the company, and give advice with regards to company decisions to ensure a raise of profit. Evaluating the results based on the investments or risks that the company undertakes is also a part of a financial manager’s job. There are several duties that a financial manager must be able to do depending on the type of office or department where he is needed. Generally however, his job has to do with loans, insurance, banks and managing people.

Thus, some of the essential qualifications that he must possess include expertise in accounting and economics, experience in banking and making financial reports and analysis of data. He should also have knowledge on management and business since his job entails planning for the future and coordinating people. Leadership and techniques on decision making are also very essential qualities that he must possess. Apart from those mentioned, having mathematics skill such as arithmetic and accounting would definitely make the task at hand easier. Good writing skills should also be evident and lastly, he should be able to know and fully understand the laws regarding business, loans and legal codes or ethics. Primary technicalities for the qualification should include being an accounting or business administration graduate with years of experience preferred.

How to cope in a tough economy : 5 financial management essentials for small businesses  

Article by Justine Holmes









Statistics and anecdotes seem to tell a fairly negative, pessimistic story about the current and near-term economic environment. Many SMEs in the developed economics find consumers retrenching, financing difficult or painfully expensive, clients ever slower at settling bills, costs increasing and growth opportunities far and few in between. Businesses are employing a variety of tactics to cope and survive: cutting costs where possible, owners working longer and harder, sales pushing for more new and repeat sales, management experimenting with social media, new marketing techniques. Experts offer comprehensive strategies and practical tips: product positioning, pricing, diversification, creative financing, stepped up advertising, alliances with suppliers and clients are all recommended as protection in or response to a downturn.

Indeed, difficult situations call for creative and smart responses. But for many companies, ‘downturn-proofing’ should start with the basics: getting their financial management under as tight a control as possible. With small businesses being more vulnerable to tough economic conditions than larger companies due to their smaller cash reserves and more limited asset base, SMEs should be laser-focused on managing their finances, their cash and working capital. Without that, none of the customer, marketing, diversification or product strategies and tips will work.

1. Know how much cash you have – exactlyCash is of paramount importance for a small business both in good times and bad times. Even if you think that you have sufficient cash reserves at any given point, in an uncertain environment you just have to know exactly how much cash is available to you at any given point of time. Surprisingly, almost 10% of Australian small businesses included in the 2010 CPA small business survey never reconcile their bank accounts. This percentage – which has held steady over the years of the survey – is one of the highest in the Asia-Pacific region.

2. Project how much cash you expect to have – frequently and continuously

Knowing your cash balance as of today will not help tomorrow or next month. In uncertain times forward-looking plans and projections are critical for your business to be able to anticipate and respond to potential shortfalls. Almost 40% of Australian small businesses from the CPA survey never prepare cash flow forecasting for their firms. Another 30% may do so, but not even on a quarterly basis. At the same time, at least 40% of businesses from other countries in the region such as Hong Kong, Singapore or Malaysia prepare cash flow plans on a monthly basis, with many doing it as often as twice a month.

3. Keep your financials up-to-date and your metrics relevant

As important as cash is, it is just one piece of the puzzle that makes up the picture of where your business is, what its opportunities are and where its risks lie. These days it is difficult to assess and properly manage the financial situation of an average family ‘intuitively’, without financial record-keeping. Understanding the sales, expense trends and patterns of even the simplest business requires proper and structured information. It may be a cliche, but it is actually true: you can only manage what you can measure. Periodic financial statements and a handful – or more for bigger, more complex operations – of consistently and carefully selected ratios and metrics are the map and the compass by which you can navigate your business. More than 10% of Australian small firms never put together any financial statements and 67% of them either use no financial ratios in business decisions or compile and look at such metrics infrequently, less often than once a quarter.

4. Know who owes you: how much and for how long, get them to pay

The primary source of your businesses cash is your customers: if and when they pay. Scores of studies, reports and business stories show the – growing – challenges of getting paid. There is no silver bullet for making clients pay: the business just has to know who owes, how much and since when and has to follow up and push for payment. It can use simpler or smarter tools, an ad-hock or more scientific strategy, but it needs to have the information on managing debtors and the willingness to get them pay. 51% of Australian SMEs never prepare an aged debtor report and 40% of them go after late paying clients maximum once a quarter, with 20% of all small firms never making an attempt to collect from delinquent clients. Giving up on late payers in an environment where companies, large and small, try to stretch payments as far as they can get away with is dangerous lenience at the best.

5. Make the most of your inventory

Managing inventory levels to have the sufficient amounts of goods to support sales while minimizing excess stock is a difficult task. In many industries inventory can swallow up cash at alarming rates. If customers reluctant or unable to spend make selling difficult, inventory piling up can quickly turn into money wasted. Businesses whose products have short life cycles or can be inventoried at significant costs should quickly and pro-actively adjust stock levels in a slowing market. Across the Asia-Pacific region over 20% of small firms are working on reducing their excess stock, while less than 15% of Australian businesses are focused on such efforts.

Jeopardizing your survival or giving up cash flow and profitability

In the worst case, not implementing and following basic financial management essentials can risk the very survival of your business: it is akin to driving blindfolded and without insurance on autopilot on a busy road in crazy traffic. Even if your business seems to be doing just fine and you are confident in its future, running it without proper attention to its financial performance, creditors and assets is guaranteed to cost you both real cash and potential opportunities. You may not land in bankruptcy, but neither will you hit the jackpot of ultimate business success without sound cash flow management practices.

Wealth Management  

Article by Ismael D. Tabije









Wealth Management is a term that originated in the 1990s in the United States among broker dealers, banks, and insurance companies. It has generally evolved from high net worth financial consulting for persons who are top clients of any firm.

As the group of affluent investors continues to grow and age, along comes the increase of help needed for them to address the issue of how to manage their wealth.

Wealth management is done through the integration of a client’s investment, tax and estate plans into an all-encompassing plan to accomplish their individual objectives.

Wealth Management is classified as an advanced type of financial planning that provides individuals and even families with private banking, estate planning, asset management, legal service resources, trust management, investment management, taxation advice, and portfolio management.

Wealth management is a high level form of private banking that provides the various types of investment, insurance and bank products and services. Generally, private banking refers to major institutional banks which offer financial services to private individuals. Private banks are banks which are not incorporated, and hence the entirety of their assets is available to meet the liabilities of the bank.

The word “private” also alludes to bank secrecy and minimizing taxes via careful allocation of assets. An offshore bank account may be used for this purpose.

With the emergence of wealth management as a career opportunity as well as a service, educational organizations are providing customized wealth management training. As wealth management serves a much more affluent community, many government licensed lawyers and CPA’s are involved in this type of high net worth consulting.

Persons engaged in wealth management, like financial planners and investment managers usually work for brokerage firms, large banks, trust departments, or investment and portfolio management firms. Boutique firms such as a registered investment advisor also tend to provide a wide array of family office services.

Their functions include leveraging the resources of strategic partners and other providers of expert services; carefully managing business growth to avoid disintegration of substantial client relationships and ensure support to newly developing relationships and service expectations; developing an expanse and abysmal affinity with all clients, administering as much of their financial life as possible; and taking advantage of product and service developments to bring the very best to their clients.

This breadth and profoundness of relationship enables the wealth manager to materialize and execute highly customized solutions that answer virtually every aspects of a client’s financial well-being.

The drivers of a successful wealth management practice are thoughtful and conscious strategic decisions; steady and sustained growth; broad and deep client relationships; the ability to leverage the resources of strategic partners and other providers of expert services; an institutionalized/systematized service model; awareness of new products and solutions; and flexibility and readiness to be challenged by changes.

Benefits of Using an Independent Financial Advisor   

Article by Sarah Shore









An independent financial advisor can help you work your way through the maze of investments, pension funds and future planning. Financial advice can be a little bit like asking for advice on choosing a car. Everyone will have a different answer, think that theirs is the best and you can be left more confused than before. Just like choosing a car, you want to make sure that you are as safe as you can be, and that you have not just thrown money down the drain. You might do some research, take a few different cars out for a test drive, and you’ll only buy from a salesman that you feel good about, and trust.

Investing is the same. You want to know that the investments that you are making are based on sound advice and evidence, and that your financial future is as safe as it can ever be. You also want to seek advice from an independent financial advisor that you can trust and get on with, even if occasionally you have different points of view. There is a relationship to be built here, as many investments take time. Whilst consulting a financial advisor is the best thing you can do, doing some research of your own is also a good thing.

The first step in seeking out advice from a financial advisor, would be to consider the type of fees that are payable. Some advisors work on a fixed fee basis, others on commission or percentage fees. A fixed fee advisor is great as it offers you flexibility and all the payments are laid out upfront, so no nasty surprises down the track when you start getting bills. With commission based advisors, even if you are unhappy with them, they still receive their trail commission for as long as you have the investment. Fee based advisors are often more closely watching various products and will only want to recommend the ones that will work for you, otherwise they do not get paid. Shop around and do your homework by all means. Talk to some fee based financial advisors and then make your own mind up.

Next, think about what it is that you actually want to achieve. You might be looking for an investment portfolio, strategies to make your retirement more secure, or simply want to just take a deeper look at existing investments or financial plans. Or, you might be looking for ways to maximise your pension or reduce your tax bill. Any of these ideas can be talked through with a financial advisor, and you will probably find that all of these plans intertwine at some point or lead off in different directions. Putting them all together in a strategy that maximises your wealth is why you need an experienced financial advisor.

Then you can turn your attention to your time frames and short term versus long term goals. You might be looking to put a retirement strategy in place now, even though retirement is 20 years away. Or you might be keen to get all of your affairs in order, and check for any gaps, as you are planning to hang up the boots soon. Alternatively, if you are looking for ways to secure the future of any business ventures you are involved in, then you might want a 5 year succession plan. Most investments take time to bloom, and so getting things started as soon as you can is the key. If there has been a change in your personal circumstances, such as a marriage, divorce, birth of a child or a family death then you might find that you need to change your will or any other legal financial documents quickly. This can all be discussed with an Independent Financial Advisor.

Seek out the advice that you deserve, and make that hard earned money work harder for you. An Independent financial advisor London will be governed by the same industry body as an IFA Cardiff and whilst style, personality, experience and portfolios will change from firm to firm, the codes of conduct are the same. So start planning for your financial freedom now, and live a happy, successful life, well into retirement age.

Cloud computing in financial service organizations  

financial services
by The U.S. National Archives

Article by Rick Blaisdell









While technology seems to be the cost and time efficiency driver in many industries, cloud computing is the emerging solution for the financial service industry, especially capital markets. In order for their assets to be used optimally by multiple consumers, financial organizations require ad-hoc access to significant computing resources, virtual desktops, shared data information, cost transparency, and “What-If” capabilities.

I will list some of the most important cloud changing perspectives that can benefit large corporations and SMB’s:● Resource Management – enables organizations to build agile, responsive data center infrastructures;● Pay per Use – organizations pay only for the computing resources they are using and not more;● Centralized Sharing – resources can dynamically be rented to application owners in the organization;● Shorten Deployment Times in extending services – in developing and testing new applications; the cloud platform can be up and running in hours not months.● Reduce IT Costs – defer capital and operational expenses;● Disaster recovery planning – cloud computing is viewed as a successful recovery solution to store critical information in another location;● Green credentials – great energy savings, a fact which translates into being environmentally friendly.

If you browse the financial industry news, compliance and security concerns continue to constrain the industry growth. In the last few years, private clouds offering complete control over data and security are the most widespread option for financial organizations. On the other hand, public and hybrid clouds are still a limited choice, offering less information and visibility on the data and security measures implemented in the cloud environment. Because of today’s perceived lack of control, banks that wish to move forward with public cloud computing are advised to test the model on smaller projects and less sensitive data, a fact which I agree with.

For the highly regulated financial services industry to adopt and implement cloud computing solutions with confidence there are two important aspects to be clarified, besides being more transparent in their security measures. They must build a regulatory guidance associated with cloud technologies and thoroughly see the implied changes in risk management.

Therefore, I consider that cloud computing has not yet reached its potential in the financial service industry because the benefits for extended cloud use and integration of public and hybrid clouds are not yet fully acknowledged. For applied cloud integration examples in financial services, you can read more in the Wall Street article in which Amazon shares its experience: “Amazon Looks to Increase Presence in Financial Services Cloud”.

Cruising for a Bruising – Or time for a Financial Management Course  

financial management
by Fylkesarkivet i Sogn og Fjordane

Article by Rob Bourne









Perhaps you’re starting to feel comfortable again. The markets have been steadily recovering. The Dow has risen over 50% since its lows back in March 2009. The ASX has also performed in a similar fashion. Who needs a financial management course when you’re cruising? But is it going to last? There seems to be conflicting views about the recovery. People are still losing their jobs. Banks are still writing off bad debts or making provisions for new ones and governments around the world are still printing money to meet interest repayments or keep their economies afloat. Many ‘experts’ believe this could just be the calm before the storm and that the Dow could retreat to new lows. Scary stuff.

Does that make you nervous about your investment portfolio or retirement savings? It should do. If you have retired or nearing retirement, the last thing you want now is to take another hit, which you may never recover from. And what about your financial adviser – have they reviewed or changed your portfolio since it went south?

Chances are your financial adviser has left it untouched because the thought of crystallising losses on some of those managed or mutual funds you hold would be too unpalatable to consider. It’s likely too that you have funds locked up in a frozen property fund, which still resembles a losing boxer on fight night.

If you want to sleep better at night, the time has come to take control of your finances through a financial management course. Given you don’t have the skill and experience of your financial adviser about investments, risks, asset allocation and all those other financial terms they throw at you, then the only way you can take control is to educate yourself through a proper financial management course.

Financial Advisers follow traditional asset allocation models and use traditional and popular managed or mutual funds. Many of these traditional global funds still invest in US or European companies. Is this really the path you should be going down? The global financial world is heading down a new track and you need to get onboard if you want to avoid another bruising.

How many international managed or mutual funds do you have in your investment portfolio? What percentage of them still invests in US or European companies? Where do you think the growth is going to be over the next 5, 10 or 20 years? US or China? UK or India?

This is the reason you need a financial management course. Your financial adviser is stuck with recommending to you the traditional investments and managed funds that follow traditional asset allocations. To survive you need to keep ahead of the times, and understand where the growth economies of the future are going to be. You need a financial management course that teaches you the foundations of financial education and gives you the power and confidence to sack your adviser and take control of your own future and finances. You need expert, independent, unbiased and up to date information and education about the economic times ahead, opportunities to look for and what markets to invest in.

Don’t risk the future of your investments. Visit my website for a list of financial management courses available that can give you the skills and knowledge needed to survive and prosper in the times ahead.

Why Use Fully Regulated Financial Advisors For Your Retirement Planning?  

Article by Paula Mackie









If you’re looking for professional help and guidance for your retirement planning, you should make sure that any advice you seek comes directly from fully regulated financial advisors. As with any other aspect of a wealth management strategy, your retirement planning needs to be undertaken seriously and thoroughly to ensure that you’re on the right track to getting the retirement that you want.

Why do they have to be fully regulated advisors?

Using fully regulated financial advisors is essential if you want to be sure that you’re getting a good service, best practice and advice that’s tailored to your personal needs. Unfortunately, in many countries, anybody can call themselves a financial advisor, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that they are trained or have the right experience and qualifications. This means that you could be drawn into getting advice from a financial advisor who’s actually tied to one specific bank or similar financial institution – which means you’ll be offered products that only provide financial benefits to their associate company and themselves, through commission.

Unregulated advice can leave you in a position where you haven’t had all of your options clearly explained to you. So when seeking help with your retirement planning, you may find that your options are very limited and you end up choosing a product that isn’t really right for you, just because it seems to be the only decent one on offer. This can be particularly dangerous for expats or those planning to move abroad when they retire, as they may be presented with the option of a QROPS that doesn’t offer the best tax benefits, investment opportunities or other advantages that a better QROPS could provide.

Because fully regulated financial advisors must act in accordance with the guidelines set out by their regulatory body, they’re bound by an ethical code which dictates that they must provide impartial recommendations and analyse your specific circumstances in order to offer the most appropriate advice. If a regulated advisor acts in anyway unethically and causes you a financial loss, they can be fined and struck off the register.

Who regulates advisors?

In the UK, the Financial Services Authority, or FSA, is the organisation responsible for the regulation of financial advisors. If you live elsewhere, or you’re an expat seeking a company who can serve you both home and away, then you will need to check who the regulatory body is for the country you’re in. You should be able to enquire as to whether the financial advisor you’re considering using is on their list of regulated providers. The best possible advice is to never take a chance on your money, so always make sure that you use fully regulated financial advisors for your retirement planning and other wealth management needs.

If you would like to know more about fully regulated financial advisors and retirement planning,Please Visit us.



About the Author

Your retirement planning is important, so you should always use fully regulated financial advisors to help you with your pensions or QROPS. Unregulated advice could lead you to the wrong products, which could cost you the retirement you deserve.
