Book Description

Bloomberg Professional Library August 2001
Following on the heels of the author's immensely popular book, Deena Katz on Practice Management, this nuts-and-bolts resource illustrates its predecessor's time-saving concepts. Deena Katz's Tools and Templates for Your Practice elaborates on the first book's concepts by providing and explaining how to use the actual check sheets, forms, and procedures developed by top wealth managers and planners. It offers financial planners and advisers dozens of shortcuts to running an efficient, thriving practice. Whether financial planners have been in business for ten days or ten years, they will benefit from this book's commonsense, pragmatic approach to running a successful advisory practice.

The book is organized around the natural cycle of finding, developing, and keeping clients. It includes a free CD-ROM containing all the Microsoft Office forms and spreadsheets in the book, usuable on both PC and Macintosh platforms. Readers can customize these valuable tools to build a solid administrative structure for their businesses. Many of the book's documents will be maintained and updated on the Web, to help financial planners stay abreast of leading-edge thinking in practice management.

5.0 out of 5 stars Packed With Knowledge!, October 26, 2001
This review is from: Deena Katz's Tools and Templates for Your Practice: For Financial Advisors, Planners, and Wealth Managers (Paperback)
Not many business books are worth shelling out 50 bucks, but this one isn't just a book, it's an investment. This powerful workbook includes an attached CD-ROM containing systems, forms, data sheets and guides that you can use to jumpstart your business activities. The section on media self-promotion is worth the entire price of admission. Clearly written and to the point, with many helpful guides and examples, the volume can save you countless hours of trying to reinvent your own personal version of the wheel. We [...] recommend this intensely focused compilation to all financial advisers, planners, attorneys, bankers and wealth managers who want to build and strengthen their practices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable, August 11, 2001

This review is from: Deena Katz's Tools and Templates for Your Practice: For Financial Advisors, Planners, and Wealth Managers (Paperback)
If you're in insurance sales, financial planning, accounting, securities, banking or in anyway involved in providing financial advice or services to the public, you owe it to your bottom line to get a copy of this book.

Chock full of immediately implemental ideas (supported by forms & tables provided on a disk), the return on your investment will be near infinate.

Best of all, Ms. Katz is a great story teller and her book's fun to read!

This review is from: Deena Katz's Tools and Templates for Your Practice: For Financial Advisors, Planners, and Wealth Managers (Paperback)
This book would be especially helpful for someone starting a new financial planning practice. The CD-ROM includes forms like a sample client contract, an investment policy statement and a load of other forms that would take hours to come up with on your own. Little things like a sample of her own ADV are also very useful if you are trying to set up a practice and wade through the maze of paperwork that will be required. While the book gives some practical advice on planning which may or may not be useful, depending on how experienced the planner is, the disk alone is worth the price of the book. One reviewer stated that the book isn't of much use to a broker/planner at a large firm (they have their own forms and procedures) but for an independent planner it's perfect.
