MoneyGuidePro vs RightCapital
Why BayRock switched from MoneyGuidePro to RightCapital
MoneyGuidePro is a great tool for Financial Planning, for Certified Financial Planner™ Professionals, and for our clients. So, why did I switch from MoneyGuidePro to RightCapital?
Why I Bought MoneyGuidePro
MoneyGuidePro was the financial planning software used at Morgan Stanley in our Wealth Management Department.
As a CFP® Professional, I needed solutions, not obstacles. While MoneyGuidePro was a great tool, the version we used at Morgan Stanley was bogged down with all kinds of added junk required by the Big Bank on Wall Street. When I became an Independent Fiduciary, I wanted BayRock to have the best tools in the wealth management business. I absolutely believe every family needs and deserves a quality financial plan. MoneyGuidePro off the shelf allowed me to deliver Smarter Strategies and Better Results. Until…

Why I Chose RightCapital over MoneyGuidePro
Higher satisfaction among financial advisors
I belive Financial Advisors are a lot like our clients. We don’t like surprises and when we sign up for a subscription service, we don’t like surprises. With all of the upgrades being offered by Envestnet I was always feeling like I was missing out on “the good stuff” and yet, I really didn’t want to pay more money for each new shiny nickel that came along with each and every product upgrade.
Goal-Based and Cash-Flow-Based Planning
At BayRock, we still believe every family needs and deserves a quality financial plan. Most folks appreciate a Goal-Based approach to financial planning because of its simplicity. As a Certified Financial Planner™ Practitioner, I need the ability to create some Cash-Flow-Based planning scenarios.
Advanced Planning in Every RightCapital Package
The bottom line for me as the Business Owner at BayRock Financial is kind of simple. I’m committed to delivering Smarter Strategies and Better Results for my clients. Cost matters. I’m happy to pay for the services I receive but I’m also smart enough to do a little comparison shopping – just like my customers. As an Independent Fiduciary Advisor, my advice always includes a thoughtful analysis of Cash-Flow, Budget, and Cost for Services.
