PFP Notebook

Prior to developing PFP Notebook, Jim Wilson used Brentmark’s Estate Planning Tools and Financial Planning Tools programs for the calculations and a word processor for the documents. He developed PFP Notebook in order to make the process more efficient and easier. You’ll like it for the same reasons. PFP Notebook is practice-oriented. It not only handles the calculations, but handles the otherwise time-consuming paperwork.

PFP Notebook consists of a number of modular areas including:

• Client Section
• Financial Data
• Risk Management
• Investments
• Retirement Planning
• Estate Planning
• Education Funding
• Income Tax

These areas are designed to allow you flexibility of use. The program offers optional links between modular areas so that you can use them all as part of one seamless whole or use them separately, choosing only what’s appropriate for individual clients.

PFP Notebook not only generates calculation reports and spectacular 3-D color graphs, it also includes explanatory text. All of the text is completely customizable by you. Over 800 inputs and calculation variables are available to be automatically merged into the text.

PFP Notebook offers you and your client an alternative to the traditional initial forms packet—the Financial Planning Data Gatherer. You can distribute this separate program on a disk to your clients. When the client first loads the program at home, your firm’s name is shown on the screen. After your client returns the disk or file to you, PFP Notebook can import the information. You can download it now for a good example of the "look and feel" of PFP Notebook.
