Onboarding

If you are a new subscriber to RightCapital, you are likely eligible for Onboarding. Our Onboarding Team is dedicated to ensuring a smooth and efficient transition for financial advisors as they integrate RightCapital into their practice.

From day one of your subscription, you will be assigned a personal Onboarding Specialist. Be on the lookout for an email or phone call in the first week of your RightCapital subscription to book time with these devoted staff members. They will provide personalized guidance and hands-on support to help advisors with any of, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Initial Account Setup: Set up your integrations, dial in your global assumptions, customize your in-software branding, and make RightCapital yours right from the very beginning.
  • Advisor Portal Overview: Learn how to create custom models, dial in your client presets, build streamlined templates, and much more.
  • Client Plan Data Entry: Create a new client plan, and walk through the data entry process together. This is a great opportunity to learn tips, tricks, and best practices for inputting income, expenses, goals, assets & liabilities, and more.
  • Client Plan Output: Review the output of a completed plan, and identify where to best view the results of the plan and how to generate an effective report.
  • Planning Module Overviews: Dive deeper into a particular planning module in RightCapital to learn how it is utilized effectively, how it interacts with the rest of the plan, and additional tips & tricks specific to that module.
  • Any Other Questions: Your onboarding specialist will be happy to answer any questions you have about anything related to RightCapital!

If you are unsure whether your subscription includes an Onboarding Specialist, please contact your sales representative.
