This episode of AdviserTech Unplugged features Anna Wren, Administration Manager at Motus Financial Planning. Anna discusses how Motus have approached integrating moneyinfo into their business, and how she has implemented new ways of working into their everyday processes to bring Motus closer than ever to their clients. Motus provides financial planning services to a wide range of professional clients including lawyers, accountants, bankers, architects, and media professionals. They pride themselves on delivering a personal service and engaging with clients in conversation to understand how to make their money work for them as an individual.

“If a client has messaged us before they start work, I now have the flexibility to go back to them straight away.” The moneyinfo app has enabled both Motus staff and clients to adapt to new ways of working for the better! “The bulk of our client communication is now done through Motus Money. We’ve even integrated workflows and had them custom built for us; the main workflow we use is for our annual review process.” Anna chats with our host Lou Wallis, Support and Adoption Manager at moneyinfo, and explains how a few small changes can add up to make a big difference in improving the client experience.

In this episode of AdviserTech Unplugged, Dominika Sieradzka-MacCuirc, Founder of RIE Solutions, shares some key improvements wealth managers can take to make the most of their time and resources. “It’s all about the quick wins”, Dominika discusses the small changes you can take to make a big difference to operational efficiencies in your business. RIE Solutions offer practice management support, operational advice, and mentorship to practice / operations managers at SME financial planning firms.

Constantly checking emails, inefficient management of simple tasks which could be automated, and not using the available technology to manage tasks more efficiently. These are all examples that Dominika discusses with Lou Wallis, our Support and Adoption Manager at moneyinfo, with eye-opening statistics and insights for us all to reflect on the critical actions we can take to make the most use of the amount of time we have.

Emma discusses the idea that there is a gap in the market for clients that are left to ‘shop around’ ranges of financial products and services with little or no guidance, and how an Amazon / Apple style marketplace that is very much focused on consumer needs, giving access to the whole of market, is still missing. Emma suggests there is a big opportunity for innovators to come forward and build solutions to overcome these challenges.
