Navigating to the Client Portal
In Conquest, clients can access their financial plan through a secure online portal, typically provided by the financial advisor for financial planning. Once the advisor has shared the financial plan with the clients, they can log in to their Client portal by using the invitation email sent to them. Here’s a general process and what they can review:
How Clients Access Their Financial Plan:
