How a Chartered planner protected their reputation with proactive client servicing

Client Context

David* was a Chartered Financial Planner with over 20 years of experience and a reputation for professionalism. His client base included senior executives, business owners, and high-net-worth families who valued not just his advice, but also the seamless service his practice was known for.

Behind the scenes, however, growing admin demands were making it harder to maintain the same high standards. Clients were occasionally chasing for updates or review preparation, and David worried that even small service lapses could damage the reputation he had built over two decades.

The Challenge

David’s concerns were centred around:

• Review preparation often left until the last minute
• Clients occasionally chasing for paperwork or updates
• Growing admin burden distracting from complex advice work

For a Chartered Planner, the bar for client service is higher. David needed to be certain his processes matched the reputation he worked so hard to maintain.

The Turning Point

When one of his long-standing clients emailed to ask about a delayed review pack, David realised he couldn’t allow reactive servicing to continue. Protecting his reputation meant ensuring clients never had to chase him for updates.

The Solution

David engaged Plus Group for client servicing support. We:

• Took over scheduling, preparing, and following up on annual reviews
• Managed client queries to ensure no email went unanswered
• Logged all interactions in Fluid, giving David oversight without extra admin

Implementation Insight

We began by auditing upcoming reviews to spot any that were at risk of slipping. By clearing the immediate backlog and putting a structured review calendar in place, we restored order quickly. Within weeks, reviews were running on schedule, and client communication was proactive instead of reactive.

Results

• 100% of reviews prepared and delivered on time
• Clients contacted before they needed to ask for updates
• Admin pressure reduced, allowing David to focus on technical advice

Emotional Impact

For David, the relief was immediate. He no longer feared clients chasing him or feeling let down. Instead, he could concentrate fully on complex planning work, confident that servicing standards matched the reputation he had built.

Before vs After

Barriers Addressed

David worried outsourcing might feel impersonal to clients who expected a premium service. Instead, they noticed improvements — faster responses, more structured reviews, and a smoother overall experience.

If your reputation rests on exceptional client service, Plus Group ensures every detail is handled so you can focus on delivering advice without distraction.
