Ten Talents Transforms Client Experience with Fee-for-Service Billing through AdvicePay
Ten Talents Financial Planning, founded by Kaleb Paddock, CFP®, in 2018, is dedicated to helping clients navigate their financial journeys with clarity and control. With a fee-only, fiduciary approach, Kaleb leverages AdvicePay to streamline billing, improve client experiences, and offer an accessible fee-for-service model that resonates with diverse client demographics, from traditional retirees to the FIRE community.
The Challenge
Kaleb sought a billing solution that could handle various fee structures with minimal manual intervention. As his client base grew, manual invoicing became unsustainable, and he needed a reliable, automated system to maintain zero accounts receivable and seamless client interactions.
The Solution
By implementing AdvicePay, Kaleb was able to streamline his monthly and quarterly invoicing. The platform's integration with Dropbox Sign allowed him to simplify the contract process, reducing expenses by eliminating the need for separate e-signature software. AdvicePay's user-friendly interface also made client onboarding seamless, improving his client experience by simplifying contract management and payment processing.
