The financial planners stack

Six instruments, calibrated.

UK financial planners — chartered, FCA-regulated — Intelliflo iO, Iress XPlan, Plannr, Voyant — fact-find, suitability, annual review, MIFID-compliant.

01 · Fact-find + suitability

Discovery to suitability report, on rails.

Fact-find captured once, fed into the suitability engine, suitability report drafted with the planner reviewing — not retyping. The compliant report the FCA wants, in a fraction of the time.

  • Intelliflo iO + Plannr fact-find
  • Suitability report drafting
  • Risk-profile capture
  • Adviser-review queue
02 · Cashflow modelling

The chart that tells the client what to do.

Voyant model live in the meeting, scenarios run alongside the conversation, decisions captured on the panel. The cashflow conversation, not the cashflow tool tutorial.

  • Voyant integration
  • Scenario library
  • Real-time meeting model
  • Per-client decision capture
03 · Annual review cadence

Every client reviewed on schedule.

Annual review queue surfaced 60 days out, prep pack auto-generated, client-meeting scheduled, review report drafted. The cadence that defends the ongoing-fee model.

  • 60-day review surface
  • Auto-generated prep pack
  • Client-meeting scheduling
  • Review report drafting
04 · Compliance + record-keeping

Audit trail the FCA wants to see.

Every advice instance recorded, suitability evidenced, communication logged. The compliance file ready before the FCA visit, not assembled in panic when it arrives.

  • Per-client advice log
  • Communication archive
  • Suitability evidence pack
  • FCA-aware retention
05 · KYC / AML

Verify on intake, monitor on-going.

Automated ID verification at onboarding, sanctions and PEP screening on a schedule, source-of-funds capture. The compliance moat that scales with the client book.

  • Onfido + Thirdfort ID checks
  • SmartSearch sanctions screening
  • Source-of-funds capture
  • Risk rating + review schedule
06 · BrainBase

The firm's planning IP, indexed.

Suitability templates, technical notes, scenario libraries, regulatory updates — searchable from the meeting, the report draft, the client call. The advisory brain the network can't take with them.

  • Suitability template library
  • Technical-note search
  • Regulatory-update index
  • AI-assisted retrieval
Sample engagement

The five-planner firm that cut review cycle from 14 to 4 hours.

Five chartered planners. 380 ongoing-fee clients. Annual reviews running 14 hours each.

A five-planner firm ran on Intelliflo iO with Voyant for cashflow but built every annual review pack by hand. Four-week build: prep pack auto-generated 60 days out, Voyant model pre-built per client, review-report skeleton drafted from prior-year suitability. Six months on: average review-prep time dropped from 14 hours to 4, the firm absorbed 60 new ongoing-fee clients without hiring an extra paraplanner.

How we measure: review-prep time = total adviser + paraplanner hours logged per annual review across n = 247 reviews completed, prior-cycle vs post-build, sourced from Intelliflo iO time entries; ongoing-fee client count tracked via FCA-reportable revenue.
