“I really love the flowcharts and they are helping me explain difficult decision points/rules to my client base. In fact, I plan to upgrade so I can use some of the material on my website with my own branding.”
— An advisor in Texas
“fpPathfinder is a great tool! It mirrors much of what I've developed on my own for tax planning, life events, etc. However, it's been great to double-check my own work in those areas and also to motivate me to deepen my knowledge on other topics”
— Jonathan, an advisor in Colorado
“It’s brilliant to boil complex planning strategies into a one-page flowchart. It totally beats having to read 4 -5 articles to understand each nuance and exception, especially on the tax issues.”
— Meghan, an advisor in Georgia
“Checklists don't make the planner smarter or more skilled, but do help to ensure that the planner maximizes the knowledge and skill he/she already has.”
— Michael Kitces, Publisher and Editor-In-Chief at Kitces.com
“The resources available are beneficial internally and for clients. The checklists help advisors think outside the box of their knowledge and experience covering a multitude of planning areas. The flowcharts are well laid out visuals for the clients with possible scenarios identified and clear paths to take. fpPathfinders does a nice job updating the resources regularly and communicating to their customer base as well.”
— An advisor in Minnesota
“You just continue to put out great content on fpPathfinder. The 'What Issues Should I Consider Before The End Of The Year' checklist is fantastic.”
— Chris, an advisor in Illinois
“Love the Redtail integration - it’s been instrumental in my prep for my client reviews. I’m finding my self being over-prepared because of the robust lists which is great.”
