Program designed to increase efficiencies and reduce costs

POWHATAN, Va.--()--PIEtech, Inc., creator of MoneyGuidePro®, the industry’s leading financial planning software, is pleased to announce that the company has been selected for inclusion in LPL Financial’s new Vendor Affinity Program.

LPL, the nation’s largest independent broker dealer, developed Vendor Affinity to help LPL advisors reduce the complexity and costs of running their businesses. The program offers a centralized list of vendors who have been reviewed by LPL and have agreed to provide their products and services to LPL advisors at preferred prices. PIEtech was selected for the program based on the value they can provide advisors as an innovator in goals based financial planning.

“We recognize that technology is a major contributor to creating increased efficiency and driving greater productivity in our clients’ businesses,” said Victor Fetter, LPL Financial managing director and chief information officer. “Being able to connect LPL clients with leading technology solution providers adds a new dimension to the level of service and support we can provide to clients to help them manage and grow their businesses.”

“Advisors face the prospect of being overwhelmed by wave after wave of rapidly emerging technology,” said Kevin Knull, CFP®, President of PIEtech, Inc. “Our goal is to harness that technology in ways that make advisors’ jobs easier and client relationships stronger. We are pleased to be included in a program that reflects our shared goal of reducing the complexity of the advisors’ work.”

MoneyGuidePro’s inclusion in the program is in keeping with the company’s goal of making the financial planning process easier and more profitable for advisors and their clients. “LPL is a leader in the independent broker dealer space, and MGP is the leader in the financial space; it is encouraging to see the firms working together,” said Joel Bruckenstein, President of Technology Tools for Today (T3).
