- **Time limits, counted down**: Each kind of case carries its own clock from the day it arrives, and cases near the end rise to the top of the queue.
- **One record for each client**: Households, businesses and their directors, joint members and guarantors, with every case they've had and the checks your team recorded.

## Questions

### What does Financial Desk do for a financial adviser?

It runs each piece of client work as a case, from pension transfer advice to ongoing reviews, with the stages, checklists, time limits and second sign-off you set, and keeps the documents and the record of what was done on the case.

### Can a mortgage broker use it as a CRM?

Yes. Each client has one record with their household, their cases and what they've sent you, and every remortgage, purchase or product transfer moves through your own stages.

### Does Desk replace our administration or banking system?

No. Desk holds the case, its documents and the record of what was done. Balances, contributions and payments stay in the system that runs them today.

### Can we call them members instead of clients?

Yes. Desk uses your words throughout: members, customers or clients, cases or applications.

### How are signed forms checked?

When a signed form comes back, each signature is compared with the ones you hold for that person, and the result sits on the case before anything is paid.

### What does Financial Desk cost?

GBP 39 a person a month, month to month with no lock-in. Signature checks are charged as they are on their own.
