THE CASE STUDY APPROACH
The profession of financial planning has expanded quickly since its inception in 1969. During the 1960s and 1970s, financial planning consisted of little more than a small consortium of financial service professionals interested in offering clients a value-added service, in addition to insurance and mutual fund products. Since its inception, financial planning has grown into a dynamic, growing, and respected profession.
The growth of financial planning, both as a recognized profession and as an important behavioral change force in the lives of individuals and families, has been remarkable. Starting with fewer than fifty Certified Financial Planner (CFPÂź) professionals in the early 1970s, the number of CFPÂź certificants has grown to more than eighty thousand today. Worldwide growth in financial planning, particularly among CFPÂź professionals, is even more stunning. As the profession has expanded in recent years, the number of students studying financial planning has also grown, which has prompted the need for tools students and aspiring financial planners can use to enhance their knowledge, skill set, and confidence. Thus, the purpose of this textbook.
This book has been designed to help students synthesize knowledge obtained in multiple classes into practical techniques that can be used to solve theoretical and practical financial planning case studies. The tools, techniques, and strategies presented here are intended to serve as a manual to help students and aspiring financial planners piece together divergent concepts into strategic recommendations. Before describing each element of the book, it is worthwhile to take a step back and review two important concepts. First, what exactly is meant by the phrase âfinancial planningâ? And second, what is the relationship between financial planning and the process of financial planning?
FINANCIAL PLANNING DEFINED
Professional organizations and leading members of the financial planning community have defined financial planning in a variety of ways. The most recognized definition, offered by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board), defines financial planning as a process. According to CFP Board,1 financial planning denotes:
âThe collaborative process that helps maximize a clientâs potential for meeting life goals through financial advice that integrates relevant elements of the clientâs personal and financial circumstances.â2
Financial planning can be thought of as a humanistic science focused on helping individuals and families manage and improve their financial situation. The term humanistic, as used here, means that a financial planner focuses on individuals and families and the values, capabilities, and capacities clients bring with them when dealing with complex financial questions and issues. Financial planning is a science because financial planning professionals rely on critical thinking, data, and evidence-based practices, rather than generalized rules or dogmas, when formulating client-centered strategies.3
THE FINANCIAL PLANNING PROCESS
Traditionally, the practice of financial planning has followed what is generally referred to as the financial planning process. In its Standards of Professional Conduct, CFP Board describes the financial planning process as the following seven steps:
1.Understanding the clientâs personal and financial circumstances
2.Identifying and selecting goals
3.Analyzing the clientâs current course of action and potential alternative course(s) of action
4.Developing the financial planning recommendation(s)
5.Presenting the financial planning recommendation(s)
6.Implementing the financial planning recommendation(s)
7.Monitoring progress and updating
The financial planning process has been revised over the years. The current seven-step financial planning process represents the latest revision as of 2018. Prior to the revision, the process consisted of six steps. Figure 1.1 compares the current financial planning process with the way nearly all financial planners have traditionally conceptualized the process of financial planning.
Figure 1.2 illustrates how the financial planning is circular in nature, with ongoing monitoring continually informing the type of information a financial planner must obtain to continually ensure that a client is moving toward goal achievement.
THE ROLE OF FINANCIAL PLANNERS
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,4 a financial planner is a professional who provides advice on investments, insurance, mortgages, college savings, estate planning, taxes, and retirement to help individuals manage their finances. Financial planners tend to look at a clientâs financial situation holistically. Unlike a financial advisor who may provide advice and council on investment or insurance topics, or an accountant who may only prepare a clientâs tax or perform auditing services, a financial planner, by definition, is generally tasked with evaluating a clientâs overall financial situation and then using professional judgment to make integrated recommendations with the intent of improving a clientâs financial situation. Subject areas typically reviewed by a financial planner include, but are not limited to, the following:
âąFinancial statement preparation and analysis (including cash flow and net worth management and budgeting)
âąInsurance planning and risk management
âąEmployee benefits planning
âąInvestment planning
âąIncome tax planning
âąEducation planning
âąRetirement planning
âąEstate Planning
Essentially, a financial planner is expected to use the financial planning process to guide their client generally and specifically withinâand acrossâeach subject area.
Financial Planning Practice Standards and Ethics
Financial planning professionals who are CFPÂź certificants must also follow practice standards developed and promulgated by CFP Board. These standards are described CFP Boardâs Standards of Professional Conductâall of which have evolved within the profession to gu...
