The Financial Neutral Role – It’s not just about the numbers.

The Financial Neutral Role – It’s not just about the numbers.

Financial neutrals are valuable team members for cases of varying complexity – not just wealthy clients. Join us for an interactive conversation with three experienced Collaborative professionals as we discuss the role and use of the financial neutral team member in the Collaborative Process.

Objectives:

•    Identify the skills and value that Collaboratively trained financial neutrals bring to the table and how to communicate this to clients.

•    Learn how financial neutrals work with clients and the professional team to support the financial decision-making process.

•    Explore best practices for effective use and incorporation of the financial neutral in Collaborative cases.
