Faster Plans, More Possibilities with CoPlanner

Advisors often spend hours manually analyzing client data, evaluating strategies, and assembling actionable recommendations, slowing planning cycles and limiting how many clients they can effectively serve.

Imagine a tool that simplifies planning by automatically assessing client data and presenting actionable strategies in real time. With CoPlanner, you’ll spend less time building plans and more time engaging clients, strengthening relationships, and focusing on growth.

CoPlanner marks a major milestone in our mission to increase advisor efficiency by making planning easier and faster, where the platform does more of the heavy lifting so you can focus on relationships, conversations, and meaningful advice.

Why This Matters to You

  • Faster time‑to‑plan so you can spend less time building and more time advising.
  • More consistent client experiences with recommendations based on consistent real-world planning logic.
  • Stronger planning conversations supported by clear strategies and streamlined workflows.
  • Alignment with the eMoney vision of intelligent, connected planning experiences that help you scale with confidence.

What’s New

  • Automated plan strategy generation. CoPlanner reviews client data and instantly assembles a personalized planning approach—reducing manual effort.
  • In line strategy refinement. Modify generated techniques within the CoPlanner experience.
  • Integrated into your existing workflows. Enhancing existing workflows you’re already comfortable with within both Decision Center and Foundational Planning to be faster and more efficient.
  • You’re in control. Control CoPlanner settings and refine what techniques are considered, the target probability of success, and the range of actions considered.

How It Works

  • Click Generate to have CoPlanner analyze client data and propose an initial set of personalized planning actions.
  • Toggle actions on and off to see how individual techniques influence overall outcomes.
  • Refine recommendations by choosing which strategies to keep, modify, or remove.
  • Validate the plan in Presentation View by reviewing how all recommendations align across reports.
  • Share and discuss a polished, strategy‑driven plan with your client.

Use This When…

You need to go from raw client data to actionable strategies quickly—such as preparing for a review meeting, onboarding a new client, or supporting a mid‑year financial check‑in where timely, data‑backed guidance is essential.

Deliver Plans More Efficiently with the New Foundational Planning

Building a client‑ready plan shouldn’t require jumping between workflows or recreating data. Our newly reimagined Foundational Planning brings everything together to make goals-based planning faster and more efficient.

In our ongoing effort to help you bring planning to more people in less time, holistic goals‑based financial planning is getting much easier. With one streamlined experience, you’ll save time, improve consistency, and deliver plans more efficiently.

These enhancements mark a major step toward improving goals-based, focused conversations to drive time savings, efficiency, and support scalable planning. Foundational Planning is currently available for those with the eMoney Plus and Premier packages.

Enhanced Branding and Settings to Make the Portal Yours

  • Enhanced Branding
  • Mobile Icon Customization

Customizing your Client Portal allows you to:

  • Extend your firm’s branding across desktop and mobile—without costly custom development

  • Strengthen trust and recognition through consistent branding at every client touchpoint

Customize these Client Portal features for a look and feel that reflects your brand:

Manage Client Portal Settings at Scale—Now from One Centralized Settings Page

Managing Client Portal settings client‑by‑client can be time‑consuming and inconsistent. You need a faster, clearer way to activate features, apply standards, and confidently deliver a consistent client experience as your business grows.

The new Client Portal settings page will bring deeper configuration into one intuitive location, making it easier for you to manage portal features while improving consistency and control. This builds on existing options to manage settings client‑by‑client, for all clients, or as a default via the Globe icon in client settings.

This enhancement supports a broader goal of making the Client Portal easier to manage, activate, and use every day—without adding operational burden.

Why This Matters to You

  • Work more efficiently by managing Client Portal settings from one centralized page instead of jumping between multiple areas
  • Deliver a consistent client experience with firm‑level standards and permissions guiding how settings are applied across your book of business

What’s New

  • A new Client Portal menu item in your navigation bar for easier, centralized access to settings
  • A new theme selection experience, including newly introduced standard themes
  • The ability to preview how your chosen theme appears in the Client Portal without switching between different parts of the experience
  • A more intuitive workflow for managing your firm’s Client Portal logo

How It Works

  1. Click the new Client Portal tab in the top menu navigation.
  2. Choose a standard theme, preview your updates, and publish your changes—all from one streamlined page.
  3. Manage your firm’s logo from this tab as well. Logo customization isn’t new, but it’s now centralized here, with support for logos across the Portal Header, Contact Form, Professional Contact Advisor Card, and Portal Login Page.

Use It When…

You want to standardize the Client Portal experiences across clients while still customizing the look, feel, and features where needed. Centralized settings help you work faster, stay aligned with firm standards, and confidently tailor the experience as client needs evolve.

Put This Feature into Action!

Start using the new Client Portal settings page to publish a new theme, manage your logos, and deliver a more consistent client experience across your book of business. Watch for more exciting Client Portal settings to migrate to this page in future releases.

If you’re a Premium Client Portal user, you also have access to the new Client Portal settings page, which offers even more branding controls to make the portal yours. See what’s new for your experience.

Work More Efficiently with Client-Led Scenarios in Plan Explorer

Today’s advisors need quick, consolidated visibility into the assumptions and what‑if scenarios clients explore beyond their base plan. This update delivers that clarity, enabling more efficient and focused conversations.

This update to the Premium Client Portal is part of our vision to help advisors guide smarter, more collaborative planning by empowering their clients to explore scenarios independently, while keeping you fully informed at every step.

Why This Matters to You

  • Save time by instantly seeing which plans clients created across key planning tools.
  • Improve collaboration with clearer insight into client assumptions so you can guide more informed next steps—without recreating their work.

What’s New

  • Clients can add new income sources. Allows clients to model changes to salary, bonus, or additional income on their own
  • Clients can add or modify expenses. Helps them see how lifestyle adjustments impact their plan.
  • Clients can edit or add contributions across account types. Supports savings‑related “what‑if” exploration across taxable, tax‑advantaged, and 529 accounts.
  • Client‑created plans are now clearly labeled across all planning views. Advisors immediately see which plans originated from clients in Overview/Plans, Decision Center, Goal Planner, and Plan Comparison.
Work More Efficiently with Client-Led Scenarios in Plan Explorer

How It Works

  1. Clients open Plan Explorer from their Premium Client Portal.
  2. They select Create an Alternate Plan.
  3. They add or edit income, expenses, or contributions as needed.
  4. Advisors can see all client‑created plans, clearly labeled across planning tools, when reviewing scenarios.

Use This When…

A client wants to explore the impacts of a job change, new savings strategy, or upcoming expense before meeting with you—so you can jump directly into informed recommendations instead of recreating their assumptions.

Put This Feature Into Action!

Let your Premium Client Portal clients know they can now model these adjustments on their own. Before your next meeting, review any new client-created scenarios to streamline the conversation and quickly align on next‑step recommendations.

Guide More Insightful Client Conversations with New Education, Spending, and Leave to Heirs Reports in Decision Center

Many of the conversations you want to have with clients—whether they’re on track for education goals, if their spending is sustainable, or what legacy they can leave—haven’t always been easy to illustrate. Without clear, goal‑specific insights, it can be challenging to show clients where they stand or how different choices shape their outcomes.

The new Education, Spending, and Leave to Heirs reports in Decision Center change that. These modern, interactive reports bring clarity to education funding, lifestyle spending, and long‑term legacy projections, making it easier for you to open deeper planning conversations and guide clients from exploration into confident decision-making.

This update supports our vision of delivering a more consistent, streamlined planning experience—reducing friction in your workflow, moving faster from insight to action, and delivering more value to every client you serve.

Why This Matters to You

  • Support more dynamic, personalized conversations that drive confident client decisions
  • Expand your planning reach with clear insights for education, lifestyle spending, and legacy goals
  • Help clients understand the impact of their choices with simple, visual explanations
  • Deliver a unified, consistent experience across Decision Center and Foundational Planning

What’s New

Three reports—Education, Spending, and Leave to Heirs—are now available in Decision Center. These reports make it easier to explain funding progress, lifestyle sustainability, and legacy outcomes during client conversations.

How It Works

All three of these reports are in Decision Center now. No additional setup is required.

Education Report

Use this report to show projected costs, funding sources, and year‑by‑year coverage for each education goal based on the plan you have selected.

Spending Report

Use this report to reveal how your client’s lifestyle expenses are expected to be funded over time, showing projected spending, available resources, and coverage gaps for each spending goal within the selected plan.

Leave to Heirs Report

Use this report to illustrate your client’s projected estate value and whether their legacy goal will be met, updating automatically based on the plan you have selected.

Use this when…

A client asks:

  • “Are we on track to fully fund college for both kids?”
  • “Is our spending sustainable based on projected income?”
  • “Can I leave $X to my children when I’m gone?”

Now you can explore these questions directly in Decision Center using clear, interactive reports designed to support meaningful decision-making.

Get Started

Begin leading more insightful, actionable planning conversations today with the new Education, Spending, and Leave to Heirs reports in Decision Center.

Deliver Client‑ready Insights Quickly with New Printable Profile, Income Summary, and Goals Reports

Clear, client‑friendly reporting is essential for meaningful planning conversations. With this update, the Profile, Income Summary, and Goals reports—previously viewable only in Decision Center—are now available in the Reports tab and under Presentations, making them fully printable and shareable. This gives you a faster, more seamless way to prepare client‑ready documents without extra steps.

This enhancement is part of our broader effort to create a more connected, streamlined planning experience that supports clearer conversations, stronger understanding, and more action‑oriented recommendations.

Why This Matters to You

Quickly build clear, professional reports by bringing core planning insights into a simple, printable, and shareable format.

What’s New

Profile, Income, and Goals reports are now available in the Reports tab and under Presentations, making them printable and shareable for the first time.

How It Works

Continue preparing reports as you always do—simply open Reports or Presentations to add these newly available report types to your client‑ready materials.

Use It When…

You’re preparing for a client review and want to give clients a clear, consolidated view of their personal details, income sources, and goals without switching between tools or rebuilding data. The new printable reports make it simple to assemble a polished, client‑ready packet in minutes.

Get Started

Head to the Reports tab or open Presentations to add the new Profile, Income Summary, and Goals reports to your next review packet to deliver clearer, client‑ready insights.

New Adaptive Multi-factor Authentication

As part of our commitment to delivering best-in-class digital experiences, eMoney is modernizing our platform and strengthening our security program in collaboration with Okta, a trusted partner and industry leader in identity management.

To further strengthen protection, eMoney has enabled an enhanced Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication for all users who login directly, adding an additional layer of security that safeguards confidentiality, integrity, and availability of client information while providing seamless, user-friendly access.

What’s New

  • Minor Design Updates: Users signing in with a username and password may notice some subtle changes, including new multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements and slight design updates. Users who single sign-on (SSO) into eMoney will not experience anything different, as they bypass the login screen.
  • Initial 2nd Factor Prompt: Regardless of the Adaptive MFA level, all users who login directly will be prompted to reauthenticate themselves via this updated flow and provide a 2nd factor at login initially. This may look like being prompted to enter in a unique code emailed from Okta after entering in your password. Once signed in, you most likely won’t be prompted again. Following this update, if you or your clients directly sign-into eMoney with login credentials, an initial prompt to enter your phone number will display.
  • Phone Number Request: You may be prompted to provide a phone number as a 2nd factor login method.
  • Improved Risk Mitigation: If you’re signing in from an unrecognized location, you may be prompted to provide a 2nd factor when logging in.
  • Retiring RSA One-time Access Code: Due to low use and our move towards enhanced security standards, we are retiring the ability for users to log in using a one-time access code in the event a text message or phone call verification wasn’t successful. 

Note: If you and your clients directly sign into eMoney, you may see a login message over the coming weeks about this.

Protecting your and your clients’ data remains our top priority. For any questions, feel free contact us at 888-362-8482 or email customerservice@emoneyadvisor.com.

Gather Client Data Without Enabling the Portal

Run onboarding your way by gathering client data first and introducing the Client Portal later, when (or if!) it fits your workflow and client relationships. Standalone Data Gathering arrives April 29.

What’s Coming:

  • Gather client data without enabling the Client Portal
  • Ideal for onboarding workflows where you want data first, portal access later (if at all—it’s your choice)
  • Support evolving client relationships and engagement models as your practice grows

New Client Experience Options:

  • Onboarding Only
  • Client Portal Only
  • Client Portal + Onboarding

Client Portal access can be enabled later, allowing you to grow efficiently without forcing a one-size-fits-all client experience. That means less operational friction and more time focused on meaningful client conversations.

Keep Accounts Up to Date Automatically: New Flourish Integration Enhancements

When new accounts open, manually adding and linking them in eMoney can slow down your workflow and lead to gaps in planning data. Enhancements to the Flourish integration automatically add and link Flourish accounts to eMoney Facts, reducing manual work and keeping client information up to date with minimal effort.

Keep Accounts Up to Date Automatically: New Flourish Integration Enhancements

Why it matters

  • Ensures client account data updates automatically, improving accuracy across planning workflows
  • Supports the eMoney vision of a connected, modernized planning platform with reliable, low‑friction data connections

What’s new

  • Automatic Account Linking: Flourish accounts are now automatically added and linked to an eMoney Fact through an overnight process, eliminating the need for manual setup.
  • Please note that the functionalities are set up within the integration partner.

How it works

  • Client opens or updates a Flourish account
  • eMoney detects the new account overnight
  • The account appears automatically in the appropriate Fact the next day

Use this when…

You want to ensure client accounts stay up to date automatically—especially for onboarding, recurring planning updates, or keeping plans accurate across engagement models.

Faster Tax Prep for You and Your Clients: Schwab Tax Docs Now in Vault

During tax season, advisors often spend too much time tracking down client documents. Accelerate your tax-season workflow by automatically consolidating key forms in one centralized location—no extra steps needed from you or your clients. Now, your clients can instantly access their Schwab tax documents in the Vault as soon as they’re available, alongside their statements.

This enhancement supports our vision of a modern, connected planning platform where reliable data flows automatically across your tech stack, so you can focus more time on planning conversations.

Faster Tax Prep for You and Your Clients: Schwab Tax Docs Now in Vault

Why it matters

  • Reduce back‑and‑forth with clients during your busiest season
  • Keep all planning and tax documents centralized and easy to access
  • Ensure clients never miss an important form

What’s new

Schwab tax forms now sync directly into both the Client Portal Vault and the Advisor Vault, just like Schwab statements.

How it works

If a client already has the Schwab integration enabled, no action is needed. Tax documents will appear automatically when Schwab publishes them.

Use it when…

A client asks, “Do you already have my tax forms?” You can then confirm they’re already in the Vault.

Get started

Enable the Schwab integration for your clients in five minutes or less.

Morningstar Integration Sunset

The Morningstar Office integration will be retired on February 28 and will be removed from the Integrations page. This is due to Morningstar’s decision to discontinue the Morningstar Office platform. Moving forward, users with the Morningstar Advisor Workstation integration enabled can continue accessing similar functionality through that integration.

Morningstar Integration Sunset

New Plan Comparison: Faster, Clearer Decisions

Plan Comparison builds on the existing Goal Planner experience to enable deeper, more meaningful plan comparisons in a faster, more intuitive way.

  • Focus on client goals: Illustrate goal funding with inline charts and adjust funding and contributions directly in the workflow.
  • Visualize probability of success: Highlight meaningful differences between plans using clear, updated Monte Carlo probabilities that are easy for clients to understand.
  • See retirement impacts in real time: See impacts instantly when editing key inputs like Social Security, retirement age, and income.

Start using Plan Comparison today to save time, strengthen collaboration, and help clients move forward with confidence.

Important Note: Don’t worry, you’ll continue to have access to the classic Goal Planner plan comparison experience via the right-hand toggle through December 2026.

Asset Allocation Report in Decision Center

To ensure a comprehensive, interactive planning experience as part of our ongoing goal of creating a more centralized planning hub in Decision Center, we’ve expanded the report library to include Asset Allocation.

What’s New

  • Now available under the Investments report family in Decision Center, you can access three familiar views—High-level, Details, and Composite—all within the interactive Decision Center experience.
  • Use the Add Comparison mode to easily compare Model Portfolios, Asset Types, or Accounts side by side in Decision Center.
  • Select from options to Group Assets or View All Asset Classes in Detailed and Composite views.

We hope this new report helps to streamline your workflows by reducing the need to switch between tools within eMoney, while supporting more collaborative, real-time planning conversations with your clients.

Keep an eye out for more reports coming to Decision Center in 2026!
