You got into this business because you liked working with clients. You enjoyed investing, financial planning, and helping people pursue their financials goals. These activities used to be your primary focus. But over time, your business got more complex.

Now, you have to take care of data and system maintenance, human resource issues, compliance and regulatory concerns, and more. These issues and inefficiencies can consume your time and stand in the way of focusing on what’s core to your business—servicing clients.

Administrative burdens and costs have increased so much in fact, that according to a Cerulli Associates 2012 study, advisors now spend an average of only 59% of their time on client facing activities, and the remaining 41% on administrative tasks and office management.
