Chris has distinguished himself by building a highly efficient solo practice that operates under 25 hours per week, enabling him to spend more time with his family. He achieved this by concentrating solely on the most crucial financial planning tasks for his clients—and outsourcing or eliminating all other activities.

Listen in as Chris shares how he streamlines his financial planning process by collaboratively working through plans during annual meetings, focusing on clients’ goals instead of detailed cash flow analyses, and managing cash requests through a single annual distribution. He explains his efficiency improvements through a curated tech stack of specialized AdvisorTech products and the strategic decision to manually update client balances, a move away from excessive customization that has significantly grown his AUM. We also discuss how transitioning to a remote practice has allowed Chris to live closer to family, how he generates referrals from well-connected clients, and his approach to managing perfectionism by outsourcing tasks to alleviate time constraints and reduce anxiety.
