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.
Immediately I had the forms and processes to help get the information I need from clients.
Buy it for the forms

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.
