RADNOR, Pa., Oct. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – eMoney Advisor (eMoney), a leading provider of technology solutions and services that help people talk about money, today presented new proprietary research and previewed its product roadmap and vision during the first day of the 2024 eMoney Summit, the top virtual conference for financial professionals, which is being held through Oct. 23. 

eMoney CEO Susan McKenna welcomed an audience of more than 1,400 financial professionals to the eleventh Summit, sharing highlights from the past year with a special focus on the company’s commitment to collaboration. Head of Financial Planning Matt Schulte and Dr. Emily Koochel, manager of financial wellness, then took the stage to detail new research findings that showcase the importance of collaborative planning – defined as advisors and clients using financial planning technology to work together throughout the planning process. 

Planning Better Together Research 
The research1, which reflects the data from surveys completed by more than 650 advisors and 1,200 end-clients in the spring of 2024, determines that clients want to be involved in the planning process and that there are key collaborative activities advisors can employ to provide the best outcomes. The top five actions advisors can take inside of financial planning technology to improve collaboration with clients include:   

Comparing plan options and stress testing the plan to simulate potential future eventsAnalyzing the current course of action for the planDemonstrating different scenarios or options and competing courses of action, showing the impact of choices on the planReviewing the assumptions and estimates used to develop the recommendations andReviewing and refining recommendations by analyzing potential alternative courses of action and strategies

“Personalization is essential in this process. By tailoring the approach to each client’s unique needs, advisors lay the groundwork for effective collaboration. This ensures that clients feel their input is valued, leading to more satisfactory and achievable financial plans,” said Koochel.

This research has directly informed eMoney’s product roadmap and vision, which is focused on providing technology that helps advisors plan better together with their clients. Head of Product Tom Sullivan previewed the product roadmap items that will enable a faster, easier and more intuitive planning process. 

“As we get into our strategic roadmap, you’ll see an emphasis on creating flexible options to help you get more people into the planning process with right-sized conversations that allow you to engage with clients and prospects as efficiently as possible,” said Sullivan. 

Chad Porche, senior vice president of product management, and Ricky Illigasch, vice president of product management, joined Sullivan to present recent and forthcoming enhancements on the product roadmap, which include:
