The Efficient Practice

An essential guide to tools and techniques for achieving efficiency, productivity, and profitability in financial advisory firms

As a profession, financial advisors have been very well educated on how to be a financial advisor, but the industry does a poor job of preparing financial advisors to be great business owners. This book presents the Profit-Driven Architecture, a visual way of viewing the operational structure of a financial practice.

• Provides a concrete way of understanding and improving the interrelationship of different parts of the operations of a financial practice firm
• Explains how to increase the efficiency, productivity, and profitability of the firm, recognizing the interrelationships with one another
• Reveals how to increase the capacity and value of the practice

Given an aging population of financial advisors and increased focus on succession planning, increasing the value of a financial practice is a key deliverable of efficiency and this book showcases the best ways to do so.
