September 2024
We’re flying through 2024!
As summer fades into the crispness of autumn, September arrives with a promise often overlooked. While January is seen as the time for fresh starts, September offers its own chance to reset, refocus, and recharge.
Now is a good time to review your financial plans, consult with a tax advisor, and consider boosting your pension contributions as you adjust your budget post-summer.
For many, September signals a return to routine. The calm after the summer buzz gives us a chance to realign our priorities and push forward with renewed energy.
In this spirit of renewal, we at Insight Financial Associates are excited to embrace the opportunities that September brings. Whether it’s refining our goals or seizing new opportunities, we’re ready to make the most of this pivotal month
As always, we’re here if you have any questions or need assistance. Enjoy September!
Best regards,
Kind Regards,
Jason Howard

These are just some of the ways we have enhanced our business in recent weeks and months.
Purchased laptops for staff
About 95% of our staff can work from home, including your adviser and their support team, being able to give you great service.
Video Conferencing with Microsoft Teams
Travel is restricted, but we have been able to hold more meetings with clients than ever before by means of a video conference meeting.
If you haven’t yet had a Microsoft Teams meeting and would like to meet with your financial adviser, please let us know.
Personal Finance Portal (PFP)
This is a very exciting development for us.
With PFP, we can send you documents securely, show you the financial plans you hold with us and much more. It allows you to take control of your finances by being able to update all your financial assets, property values, banking details, cashflow modelling – it can be as simple or comprehensive as you like.
It is now our preferred way of sending secure documents to you.
Electronic Signatures
We have started to use electronic signatures on our documents through Docusign. At Insight, we do not require wet signatures for any of our internal forms
We have found that some providers are still catching up on this and we continue to receive updates from them on how they are embracing technology in this area too
Electronic Valuations
We are working with providers to give us daily or weekly valuations of plans which automatically update our back office system, Intelligent Office (IO). IO works alongside PFP, allowing you to view these valuations for yourself.
The accuracy of data is important to us though and we must make sure everything is correct behind the scenes and your adviser’s team is working hard to deliver this.
We are extremely pleased with all the technological advances we have made as a business in recent months, to the extent that we will not be going back to our old way of doing things, even after some kind of normality has been restored.
We look forward to continuing to work alongside you, with our being able to do so because Insight has embraced technology in a changed world.
