And that is a tall order. You\u2019re already working hard to help people. Maybe you even feel a little stretched. Clients\u2019 financial lives and their service expectations are growing. Your business is getting more complex with more regulation, more financial products, and more services to deliver. And margins are under pressure. Helping people is getting harder. Helping more people and living your life, well &#8230;<\/p>\n<h4>The crisis.<\/h4>\n<p>We founded Blueleaf in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, when the volatility of the markets collided with the complexity of the business, and we saw how the old ways of running a practice, and the technology meant to help, simply failed.<\/p>\n<p>With the growing challenges in the business, the pressure rises every day. It\u2019s growing at the speed of finance and technology, shifting along with regulation and compliance requirements. As margins in the industry come down, we are faced with what seem like impossible choices: Drop the smaller clients that got us started and go after big fish? Or try to serve too many, and sacrifice our quality of life?<\/p>\n<h4>Augmenting \u2026 you<\/h4>\n<p>You know what you need to do to run your business. But you need leverage. Technology has to be a force multiplier\u2014to let you be where you can\u2019t be and do what you don\u2019t have time to do. To do that, your technology must proactively help you do what you do best: make connections, build relationships, and improve the lives of each of your clients. Your technology can\u2019t just be an extension of you like a simple hammer, it has to augment you, like a superhero\u2019s suit.<\/p>\n<h4>You simplify your clients\u2019 lives. We simplify yours.<\/h4>\n<p>Blueleaf helps you keep the clients that got you started and add bigger ones\u2014or lots more\u2014 while serving each one better, with less work. That\u2019s our mission. And that\u2019s why we designed Blueleaf by thinking deeply about the way you work. At each point in your journey, we ask: Can technology do that?<\/p>\n<p>There is plenty of advisor software out there. But many advisors find they\u2019re working for their software more than it\u2019s working for them. Sure, your reporting software creates a report. But can you customize, schedule, and deliver it automatically? Can you easily integrate your own brand into it, so that each client is constantly reminded of the value you&#8217;re creating? And, most importantly, is it giving time back to you or taking it away?<\/p>\n<h4>Blueleaf enables what\u2019s next.<\/h4>\n<p>The goal is not to add more. It\u2019s to challenge the way that things have always been done so that you can\u00a0<em>accomplish<\/em>\u00a0far more while doing less. Better for you, better for your clients, better for your business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your purpose is our starting point.
