10. Excellent Communication Skills

Verbal Communication In Clear English

Our verbal explanations to clients are thorough, and spoken in clear, plain English so clients can easily understand the subject and the implications to their financial well being.

We pay careful attention to ensuring our verbal communication has been clearly and correctly understood, to avoid problems later. 

Compliance Report

When someone asks someone else to provide a service, solve a problem or cause something to happen, most of the time, they never know for sure it was done.  They must rely on assumptions, or depend on past performance to "let go" of the dangling mysterious task.

For that situation, we developed a policy and a form called a "Compliance Report."  It assures the client that we have done what we promised, and provides proof of our compliance to the client's request.  The client never has to wonder if the work was done, or constantly go through reminder lists to follow up with us.

Notes To The Client

Written communication is provided in easy to read form, "Notes To The Client," specially designed by Provident Financial.  A space is also provided for clients to respond for each idea, question or comment.

Notes From The Client

Its companion form, "Notes From The Client," is designed to be used for clients informing us of non-numerical information.

These simple revolutionary forms we developed in 1980 have solved multiple problems and prevented many more.  Yet they have never been seen in use by any other professional services firm.
