Financial Planning Questionnaire Template
This questionnaire collects financial goals, income, savings, debt, risk comfort, dependents, and advisor details. Financial planners use it to prepare for a client conversation.
When to use it
- Before an initial financial planning meeting

- When updating a client's household or advisor details
What it asks
- What is your name?
- What is your email address?
- What is your phone number?
- What are your main financial goals?
- When do you hope to reach your main goal?
- What is your approximate annual household income?
- About how much do you have in savings and investments?

Why it should be encrypted
Financial details, contact information, and the names of dependents or advisors are private. Only the intended planning team should be able to read responses.
Tips
- Let clients know whether income and asset questions ask for estimates or exact amounts.
- Add a question about the client's preferred way and time to be contacted.
- Ask clients to share account numbers or detailed documents through a separate secure process.
