Taxfiler + Financial Advisors (IFAs): Faster Bank Import
Independent financial advisors reviewing client finances need to analyse bank statements to understand spending patterns, income, and savings capacity. If you use Taxfiler for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.

The Financial Advisors (IFAs) + Taxfiler Workflow
IFAs request bank statements during fact-find meetings to assess client income, expenditure patterns, existing commitments, and savings capacity. They analyse statements to build cashflow models, identify surplus income for investment, and support suitability reports. Statements are also reviewed during annual client reviews to track changes in financial circumstances.
Key terms you'll encounter: fact-find, suitability report, attitude to risk, capacity for loss.
