Kitces report outlines what advisors get wrong about marketing budgets (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Advisors assume their marketing costs will scale as their firm grows. But when accounting for advisors’ time, marketing expenses often have an anti-scaling effect that makes client and revenue acquisition pricier for the largest firms, according to a new study.

Julia Chung sees reading as a way to understand people and how her advice might land with different clients. “I give advice, but is that advice useful for the person I’m interacting with?” asks Ms. Chung, chief executive of Spring Planning Inc. in Vancouver. “What’s their background?
