Turn financial plans into actionable Salesforce intelligence

When household planning data lives in Salesforce, wealth teams use it for advisor workflows, client reviews, marketing, targeting, segmentation, and firm-wide insights — not just one-off planning meetings.

Plan health, projected net worth, and household plan cards — on governed Salesforce records advisors already opened.

The problem

Where wealth workflows break today

Planning lives outside the book of record

CRM shows the household; the plan is in an external planning portal or a spreadsheet. Staff reconcile two systems — and planning insights never become CRM intelligence.

Reviews stall on stale PDFs

Annual reviews lose momentum when balances, goals, or tax context were updated in Salesforce but never pushed to the planning portal.

Marketing cannot target planning needs

Funding gaps, Roth opportunities, and review urgency live in a disconnected planner — so outreach teams guess instead of segmenting on real plan health.

Compliance wants one control plane

A second vendor login, export file, or planning database is another place to review access, residency, retention, and who saw what.

The Salesforce advantage

Why planning data belongs in Salesforce

Planning results become governed CRM data — so advisors, marketing, operations, and leadership act on the same household intelligence.

Fewer disconnected planning files

Household plans, projection runs, and explorer results stay on Financial Planner records — not stale PDFs emailed between systems.

Plan health inside the household record

Advisors open funding gaps, first deficit year, net worth, and watchlist metrics on the Financial Plan before the client meeting.

Actionable CRM intelligence

Retirement readiness, tax exposure, Roth opportunities, and review urgency become fields and metrics your firm can report on — not portal-only views.

Marketing and service teams target the right households

Segment on plan health, retirement window, education goals, or cash-flow risk instead of generic CRM demographics alone.

Executives see planning opportunities across the firm

Leadership dashboards can surface households with projected shortfalls, stale calculations, or unresolved goals across advisors and books.

Permissions, sharing, and workflows you already run

Packaged permission sets, audit history, and Salesforce automation govern who sees planning data and what happens next.

Beyond the meeting

How wealth teams can leverage planning data in Salesforce

Native planning data supports growth and service workflows — not just advisor efficiency in a meeting.

Marketing campaigns from planning signals

Target outreach on retirement readiness, funding gaps, education funding needs, tax-aware opportunities, Roth conversion windows, or upcoming RMDs — using plan metrics on Salesforce records.

Advisor dashboards and book-of-business insight

Show households with projected shortfalls, stale plans, unresolved goals, or review opportunities in list views and dashboards advisors open every morning.

Targeted outreach by life event and plan health

Filter on goal progress, plan health, household segment, retirement window, or cash-flow risk — then launch timely client conversations.

Tasks and flows triggered by plan changes

Create Salesforce tasks or automation when Run Calculation surfaces a new funding gap, stale projection, or planning risk that needs follow-up.

Segmentation across the book

Segment by advisor, household, investable assets, retirement date, education goals, cash-flow risk, or tax exposure — all from governed planning records.

Executive reporting across the firm

Leadership sees planning opportunities, review backlog, and retirement-risk concentration without exporting portal data to spreadsheets.

Better handoffs across the firm

Advisors, associates, marketing, operations, and compliance reopen the same Financial Plan context — not disconnected files passed between teams.

Worked example

Annual review on a sample household

Sample household data for illustration only — not a client record.

Before the Chen household annual review, the advisor runs Calculation and opens plan health on the Financial Plan record. Steps below are illustrative — not a client record.

5
Insight stays on the household

Plan health, scenario results, and task history remain on governed Salesforce records for the next associate or review.

Sample takeaway: Planning insight becomes a review task, a segment, and a follow-up scenario — all attached to the Salesforce household instead of a disconnected portal export.

Note: Sample workflow only. Task, segment, and automation setup depends on your Salesforce configuration.

How it works

Advisor workflow: before, during, and after the meeting

Planning stays on the household record through preparation, the client conversation, and follow-up — inside Salesforce.

Before the review

Associates update accounts, income, and expenses on the plan; Run Calculation refreshes plan health, funding gaps, and insight cards on the Financial Plan record.

During the meeting

Advisors open the same Financial Plan from the household relationship — cash flow, plan health, net worth, and watchlist metrics on one screen. What-If and Monte Carlo answer client questions in session.

After the meeting

Explorer runs, scenario comparisons, and projection history stay on the plan. Advisors create tasks, update segments, or trigger follow-up workflows without exporting to another system.

Across the firm

Marketing, service, and leadership use the same planning data for campaigns, review prioritization, and executive reporting — governed by Salesforce permissions.

Important context

Governance, permissions, and compliance control

Planning data stays inside the Salesforce control plane your firm already operates.

  • Packaged FinPlan Admin and User permission sets govern who can view, edit, and run calculations on planning records.
  • Sharing rules, field-level security, and audit history apply to Financial Plan data like the rest of your org.
  • Planning outputs are estimates for advisor workflow — not trade recommendations, tax advice, or custodian instructions.
  • Compliance teams review one data residency model instead of a separate planning vendor database.
FAQ

Common questions

How is this different from using a dedicated planning portal next to Salesforce?

Financial Planner keeps planning data on Salesforce records — not a separate portal your team exports from. Firms still evaluate feature fit, but the differentiator is governed in-org data that supports reports, segmentation, tasks, and workflows.

Can planning data be used in Salesforce reports and dashboards?

Yes. Financial Plan records and packaged planning metrics can feed Salesforce reports and dashboards — so leadership sees funding gaps, stale plans, and review opportunities across the book of business.

Can firms segment households by planning needs or funding gaps?

Yes. Plan health, first deficit year, funding gap, retirement window, and related metrics on Salesforce records support list views, campaigns, and segmentation your admin defines.

Can marketing teams target clients based on planning insights?

Yes — when planning results live in Salesforce, marketing can build campaigns around retirement readiness, education funding needs, tax-aware opportunities, Roth conversion windows, or upcoming RMDs instead of generic outreach.

Does client data leave Salesforce?

No. Household planning records, projection results, and explorer outputs stay in your org. Financial Planner is a managed package — not an external planning portal.

How do permissions and compliance workflows work?

Packaged FinPlan permission sets, sharing rules, field-level security, and audit history apply to planning records the same way they apply to CRM. Compliance reviews one control plane.

Is this designed for RIAs, wealth teams, or Salesforce-first advisory firms?

All three. RIAs and wealth teams that already run Salesforce get native planning without a sidecar system. Salesforce-first advisory firms gain planning data that supports growth, service, and executive reporting — not just advisor efficiency.
