Most advisor meetings start with a recap. That is where time and momentum die. An Advisor Packet flips the order: it puts context and documents in front of your advisor before the meeting so the meeting can focus on decisions.

Priority consideration: give your advisor a clean, current briefing so the meeting starts with decisions, not data gathering.

Why it matters: most delays happen before the meeting. A packet compresses prep time and keeps the conversation focused on tradeoffs.

Key takeaways

A packet shifts the meeting from recap to decisions.
Source-linked documents prevent back-and-forth.
Clear requests make the advisor response faster and sharper.

What an Advisor Packet includes

A concise snapshot of accounts and entities
Document references with source and as-of dates
Decision context and open questions
A clear request list for the advisor

Decision checklist

Do you want your advisor to review specific documents before the meeting?
Do you need a one-page summary for a spouse or partner?
Are there decisions that should be tracked for follow-up?

Questions to ask your advisor

What should we include so you can give a faster, higher-quality answer?
Which documents are missing or out of date?
Do you want this monthly, quarterly, or before major events?
