Partners in Planning, a self-licensed financial advice business, has selected FinPal’s cutting edge financial planning software solution to help power business growth.
According to Partners In Planning founder and principal adviser, Paul Pellegrino, FinPal’s comprehensive features, ease of use and tight integration with Microsoft Office 365 aligned perfectly with his business objectives.
“In order to build a business that exceeds our clients’ expectations, while also remaining profitable, we knew we needed a software system that would make it easy to manage all aspects of our business. After reviewing numerous options, we settled on FinPal’s solution because it was built by advisers who understand the needs of a modern financial planning business. FinPal’s CRM is easy to use and tightly integrated with other Microsoft software. Their modern client portal & rich business intelligence reports will be instrumental in helping us achieve our goals”
FinPal’s founder and CEO, Stephen Handley, said Partners In Planning is an ideal partner in this early stage of the company’s growth.
“We’ve been using FinPal in our own financial planning business for the past 3 years, so it’s easy for us to articulate the benefits. By working with an innovative business like Partners In Planning, we know we’ll receive valuable feedback, which will allow us to improve the software even more”
Over the next 6 months, FinPal is planning a limited release of its software to a small number of firms, followed by a full release to the broader market in late 2017.
“I fit squarely into the ‘under promise and over deliver’ camp. By taking a hands on approach during the transition to FinPal, we’ll ensure our customers receive maximum value as quickly as possible. Once we’ve tested our migration process, and can ensure a quick and smooth transition, we’ll be in a position to deliver the same positive experience more broadly.”
“A phased rollout allows us to reward early adopters with reduced licensing fees and an opportunity to participate in any capital raising we undertake.”
