The Time-Value Equation: Strategic time management for financial advisors

Advisors report “lack of time” as their #1 barrier to growth. See how our Time-Value Equation can help you reallocate your time to foster organic growth and provide additional value to clients.

Make smart decisions about your time with the Time-Value Equation

Rather than seeing a lack of time as inevitable, how can advisors and firm leaders become stewards of time to better focus on what’s most important? The Time-Value Equation can help you be more intentional about how you spend your time—leading to potentially higher realized value, like organic growth or deeper client relationships.

This framework focuses on three key drivers of growth: who you spend your time with, what you focus on during client engagements, and how you allocate your time across tasks.

Who: Spend time with the right clients

Segment clients based on asset level and planning complexity, then simplify and automate services to free up capacity for high-impact relationships and greater family engagement.

What: Help clients improve their finances and lives

Ask clients what’s on their minds. You’ll build trust and uncover ways to move up the Advice Value Stack®—so you can support their whole lives and not just their investments.

How: Maximize resources to free up time for clients

Adopt new technology, outsource, or delegate lower-value activities—and reinvest time in high-impact work like serving your most valuable clients and cultivating new relationships.

The Time-Value Equation: Optimizing time to unlock growth

As client wealth and needs expand, wealth management leaders and financial advisors hoping to grow must consider maximizing their most precious resource: time.
