Feature #10 – User Interface

Starting with nothing more than a client’s name and date of birth, an advisor can gather enough information to prepare an analysis in under 15 minutes. Allowing the client and the advisor to discuss the big picture and their client’s needs moving forward.

Feature #9 – Cash Flow Planning

This tool was created in RazorPlan to fit the need for a visual data entry solution to do your pre-retirement cash flow-based planning, creating better client engagement in the planning process.

Feature #8 – Insurance Planning

What would a comprehensive financial plan be without insurance? RazorPlan combines insurance values in a comprehensive financial plan with life insurance illustration software built right into the platform or import values, including Whole Life Insurance, from any company using their built-in export feature.

Feature #7 – Data Drill-Downs

When doing a comprehensive financial plan, nothing is more frustrating than not being able to illustrate simple investment concepts quickly for your clients. With the drill-down control, you can model all popular investment concepts quickly and easily.

Feature #6 – Planning Concepts

With RazorPlan, you get 6 different concept reports – Financial Management, Investment Management, Insurance & Risk Management, Tax Planning, Estate Planning, and Retirement Planning. There is no concept in the financial industry that can’t be displayed using one of these Focused Planning Reports.

Feature #5 – Excel Export

If you have basic skills using Excel, you can build any report for any concept you want using RazorPlan’s calculation engine and the Export to Excel feature.

Feature #4 – File Sharing

Do you work in a multi-advisor office where you frequently work on the same financial plan? Do you work with other advisors through joint work? Are you in a support role where you need to assist an advisor? With File Sharing, RazorPlan saves you time by making it easy to collaborate with others.

Feature #3 – Web Tools

Our web-based tools help you find new potential clients ready and motivated to engage in financial planning. You can also use the Web Tools to identify existing client relationships ready to move forward with additional planning.

Feature #2 – Retirement Planning

Feature #1 – Retirement Options

The Retirement Options report is the original 1-Page Financial Plan. This shows clients all their options – how much they need to save, how much they can spend, when they can retire, and so much more – all on a single, easy-to-understand page.
