Comprehensive, well-built retirement income planning software provides benefits to both financial advisors and their clients.

Financial advisor software empowers advisors to demonstrate their value to clients by building easy-to-understand retirement strategies, from complex tax or income calculations to cash flow breakdowns. The right financial advisor software should include features to help clients through every step of the retirement income planning process, including:

  • Pinpointing the optimal time to start claiming Social Security
  • Navigating taxes
  • Assessing portfolio risk
  • Reducing taxable income

Failing to utilize the best available tools can lead to wasted time and resources, as well as missed opportunities for clients to build wealth.

The Benefits of Finding the Right Financial Advisor Software

Software like Covisum’s Income InSight® and Tax Clarity® use visual tools to analyze multiple retirement income streams. The impactful graphic output allows clients to see their current financial situation in one place, eliminating some confusion surrounding retirement strategy.

Covisum’s software options even empower financial advisors to seamlessly move from one product to another using the advisor portal. That means once a financial advisor understands their clients’ goals, they can efficiently utilize all of the best tools to help them get there.

Do your clients want to retire early? Are your clients saving for a major purchase? Do they want to pay off their mortgage soon? There may be many goals at play in your clients’ long-term outlook. As you begin to build a comprehensive retirement income strategy, you can lean on Covisum’s retirement income planning software to optimize opportunities and help clients visualize the possibilities ahead.
