    How Xplan keeps financial advisors connected to clients

    Clients want a mix of in-person and digital. See how Xplan's Client Portal, online fact finds and digital signatures keep advisers connected, wherever clients are.

    20 June 2023 · By Scott Brewster

    Operating a financial planning business has evolved in recent years, and staying connected with your client base is more important than ever. Xplan provides a seamless way to maintain client connections, regardless of whether you choose face-to-face, remote, or a combination of both methods.

    How financial advisors adapted to changing times

    Over the past few years, financial planning practices have had to adapt to changing client preferences and requirements. While some clients still prefer in-person appointments, an increasing number prefer remote or hybrid options. Financial advisors have turned to Xplan to bridge this gap and continue providing valuable advice to their clients.

    Enhance client connectivity with Xplan features

    Client Portal

    The Client Portal in Xplan allows clients to access their information safely, securely and reliably. They can view financial statements, insurance certificates, or simply check a portfolio balance. As an Xplan user, you can offer your clients the convenience of the Client Portal at no additional cost.

    Online client fact finding

    First impressions are crucial. A smooth onboarding process is essential for impressing financial advisory clients. By using an eForm system like AdvisorForms, you can streamline the onboarding process and save hours of manual data entry. This frees you up to focus on providing value during your initial meetings.

    Digital signatures

    Completing documentation with digital signatures helps you stay connected with clients and lifts efficiency. Most investment platforms and superannuation companies now accept digital signatures, making the process more accessible. The Client Portal and tools like DocuSign let you complete signatures regardless of your clients' location.
