Tech Solutions For My Firm

Several years I participated in a webinar, Must-Have Tech Solutions for Your Firm!, where another advisor and I shared information about our firms and the technology we use to serve clients. (Click on the picture for more information.)

To prepare for the webinar I sketched down the list of programs, apps, and tools I use every day. I was surprised how big the list is! Most of the tools I'm using today are the same as I was using back then. Below is a list of most of the tools I use to help clients feel comfortable with their finances.
