To successfully manage a practice, a financial advisor effectively needs to be an expert at both running a business and advising clients. Often these two roles may appear to be in conflict. Advising clients is a primary function, yet running a business is a huge undertaking on its own.

Practice management, and its underlying best practice principles, is all about doing things right. It's about working more efficiently so that every aspect of your practice runs smoothly, allowing you to focus your time and energy on doing what you do best - providing advice to your clients. By positively impacting on your efficiency, profitability is enhanced. In the process, it will ensure your practice is also a better business.
