Our Value Proposition
The 6 Step Financial Planning Process
1
Establish and define the relationship
The initial meeting involves the introduction of Accatax and the financial planner to the client. During this step the financial planner outlines his or her abilities and skill set. It is here where it is determined whether the financial planner is suitable for the client and has the abilities to meet the needs of the client.
2
Collect the Clients information
At this point, the financial Planner will gather all the relevant information from the client about their financial situation as well as their goals. This information can include:
- Personal Key Details
- Statement of Assets and Liabilities
- Cashflow information
- Investment and Retirement requirements
- Life Cover, Disability and Income Protection requirements
- Risk planning information
- Wills and Trust requirement
- Tax information
3
Analyze and assess the client’s financial status
The financial planner will analyze all the information gathered in step 2 and formulate a plan for the client to achieve their desired outcomes. The planner will compare the client’s current portfolio against the clients needs and objectives.
4
Develop the financial planning recommendations and present them to the client
The financial planner will present his or her recommendations to the client. Multiple outcomes will be discussed based on different scenarios and finally a sustainable financial plan will be agreed on based on the financial analysis presented.
5
Implement the financial planning recommendations
The financial planner will assist in the implementation of the agreed solution. This may involve direct implementation or the co-ordination of services between one of our strategic partners. This may include Stockbrokers, wills and fiduciary specialists or accountants.
6
Review the client’s situation
The Client and the financial planner will agree on the appropriate review intervals. The review process will include an update on the current portfolio versus the goal and make any adjustments to the strategy to keep the financial plan in line with the clients’ needs and objectives.
