[On Finding Physician-Focused Financial Advice]
“The financial planner is a like juggler, trying to keep a variety of balls simultaneously in the air. Each aspect of practice becomes critical, just as action is needed.
Some of the activities of operating a successful financial planning practice generally attract more attention than others, such as marketing and advertising, closing engagements, and office administration. Because product review, selection and implementation are often related to advisor compensation, they attract a great deal of the financial juggler’s concentration.
But, the heart of financial planning, niche advice, often receives little attention. Not because it is unimportant, it just doesn’t seem immediately and predictably urgent. Here, that ball does not seem to be dropping so rapidly.
However, retaining clients and receiving referrals from other professionals is very dependent on the quality of the advice delivered. And, the first line of protection from practitioner liability exposure is to not deliver incorrect or incomplete advice.
But, where does the financial advisor turn for ideas and organized research in the healthcare sector?”
