About this template

The Financial Planning Self-Assessment lets clients score their own habits before any adviser meeting. Items cover day-to-day budget control, debt management, consistent saving, protection basics and goal definition, each anchored 1–5 with plain descriptions of what each rating means. Weighted scoring gives a baseline profile, and the generated AI PDF report frames where the client is strong versus exposed — turning 'I think I'm fine' into a documented starting point for real planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Financial Planning Self-Assessment template?
It is a free, ready-to-use template for financial advisers and insurance professionals.
Who answers the self-assessment?
The client, unassisted — it is designed as a reflection exercise before engaging a planner or adviser.
How is the score meant to be used?
As a conversation baseline: weak dimensions become the agenda of the first planning meeting.
Can it be repeated over time?
Yes — rerun each review period; stored dated responses show whether habits actually improved.
Why have clients self-score first?
Clients rate their own position across the planning dimensions, so an adviser opens the engagement from the client's own numbers and self-identified gaps rather than an outside read.
How is the self-assessment used over time?
Rerunning the same instrument lets coaches and clients compare dated profiles to see whether the client's own scores on each dimension actually moved.
