CFPFor financial planners

Start the plan
before the first meeting

Household and retirement calculators let prospects gather their own numbers: budget, net worth, savings rate, retirement gap and Social Security timing. The request that follows is half a discovery meeting.

In short

Which calculators help financial planners attract clients?

Tools that match early planning questions: a retirement planner and shortfall calculator, Social Security claiming, net worth, budget and savings rate. Prospects arrive having entered their ages, balances and goals, which shortens discovery and helps you quote a planning fee.

Discovery

Discovery, pre-filled

A planning prospect who sends a retirement planner result has told you their ages, savings, contributions, expected income need and the size of the gap. Combine that with a net worth snapshot and you can prepare a meaningful first meeting.
