Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 5 - Plannr with Curtis Berry
Q: If someone is listening and they're on Intelligent Office and fed up, they've had it on their checkbox to have a look at alternatives for the last couple of years, what would you say is the test of whether it's worth the upheaval for them?
Berry advises firms to assess their staffing capacity, name a project lead and define the purpose of migrating. He recommends calculating the potential savings, trialing alternatives and talking with peers, then making sure the firm is ready before committing.
Episode 5 - Plannr with Curtis Berry
Q: Do you want to just take me back to the decision that led to you as a firm deciding to migrate? What was the actual trigger that caused it all?
Berry says the decision came from several factors: Intelligent Office felt like a poor fit for the firm, its development direction did not match their needs, and workflows and disconnected systems caused ongoing frustration. Plannr's open API, portal and potential cost savings also helped make the case.
Episode 4 - Proprietary Tech with Cadence Financial Planning
Q: What would you say is a realistic need before a firm could attempt this?
Keith says curiosity is the starting point, while building and maintaining tools for a larger firm benefits from development experience and structure. Human review remains important, especially before anything reaches a client.
Episode 4 - Proprietary Tech with Cadence Financial Planning
Q: For anyone listening who doesn't know Cadence, what's the firm, who's involved, and what's the quick version of how it came together?
Keith says the founders previously worked together at Benchmark Capital, later reunited after a cycling trip, and launched Cadence after deciding to build their own firm and explore an in-house technology stack.
Episode 3 - N8N with Phil Teale
Q: What are some common workflows you would build for an advice firm, the bread-and-butter use cases?
Examples include meeting note takers, suitability report generators that scan client data and documents, and front-office automations that connect website forms to email lists for follow-ups, as well as back-office tasks like automated invoicing and task creation in Google Tasks.
