Fractional Planning

You’ve got an established and growing firm with more work than you can comfortably handle while still maintaining your sanity. You need someone who already knows how to do the planner things but you're not ready for a full-time employee. Someone who can effectively be a part of your team, with whom you can truly collaborate but on a 1099 basis. You want to maintain control of the client relationship and the investments while delegating the data inputs, document processing, and planning effort until you're ready for a full-time hire. There are "fractional" versions of many jobs these days - fractional CEO's, CFO's, CMO's - why not a fractional planner? It's just a fancy title for a part-time contractor who, in this case, can do most of your financial planning work for you. You might have more work than you can personally handle or you might be someone who prefers to focus on the client relationship, spending your time on the human side of money and letting someone else deal with the data, documents, and planning.
