Digital Solutions · Apps by Etc.

We found what was missing.Then we built it.

Decades inside independent Canadian practices. 500+ practice transformations and tech implementations. We found the greatest challenges and built the solutions that didn't exist. Two HUGE opportunities showed up in every practice, and no software existed to close either one. Now it does.

What we kept finding

Two HUGE opportunities. In every practice.

We are hired to mitigate risk and support strategic growth: sort out people, then process, then technology. We have done that work in hundreds of offices across Canada. Two opportunities came up in every single one. Both were worth solving, so we built them.

Opportunity 01Reactive to proactive · Sporadic to systematic · Chaos to clarity

Care, structure and progress is hidden.

  • Meeting prep, in-meeting discussion guide, service delivery, and follow-through sit in separate systems. Nothing gives the client one view of what is being worked on and what comes next.
  • Activities, documentation, and next steps get buried instead of staying visible and collaborative.
  • Services and support are delivered differently by different people on the team.
  • Between meetings clients have nowhere convenient to return to, and education reaches them without the context of their own plan.
  • The value is delivered every year. It is just not visible between meetings, so clients do not see it building over the lifetime of the relationship.
  • Clients feel well served and still cannot describe what their advisor does for them across a year.

"We do so much for these people and they have no idea."

"Our clients are asking for convenience and a digital experience."

Heard in practice after practice
So we built the living service plan
Living My Plan
Opportunity 02Guesswork to instructions · Exposed to protected · Crisis to clarity

The plan you make for everyone else does not exist.

  • Emergency access to systems, files, and accounts lives in one person's head, in random sticky notes, or in a hidden notebook.
  • Injury, illness, a family emergency, or worse. Your clients still need service the next morning, and nobody has agreed who contacts them, what they are told, or who handles their business while you are away.
  • Insurance, ownership, and estate details are disorganized and spread across places nobody else can find.
  • Your spouse, your key support staff, and your successor have never been given step by step instructions for the first days you cannot be there.
  • Succession planning covers the eventual sale. Almost nothing covers the first 72 hours after a catastrophic event.

"If something happened to me tomorrow, my team would be guessing."

"I've never thought about half of the questions asked in the Contannuity™ assessment. Makes complete sense."

LLiving My PlanA digital client experience for advisory practices

Making the value of advice visible.

One place for advisors and clients to stay connected, organized, informed, and progress together.

Living My Plan is built around a living service plan. It brings meetings, process, education, documentation, and next steps into one guided experience, so clients see the work, understand what matters, and act with confidence. Your team delivers the same standard of service on every file, and the service plan becomes a progressive record that gains value as more work is completed.

ContannuityPrepared for every possibility

Some plans you make for yourself. This one you make for everyone else.

One set of written instructions for the people who would need them.

Contannuity gives the important people in your life and business exactly what they need when something unexpected happens: clear instructions, the right contacts, and a step by step plan. It works the moment it matters. (We could have called it a catastrophic event planning tool. We didn't, because, well, it sounds catastrophic.)

Why these two

Not another disconnected tool.

These apps came out of our own work. Among many other things, transforming a practice includes rebuilding the service models and writing the catastrophic event plans, and our team has done both by hand in hundreds of Canadian offices. We know exactly which questions matter, the order they belong in, and the cost of skipping them. These apps were built to help more advisors and teams with the essentials.

You keep your CRM, portal, scheduling, e-signature, forms, and compliance workflows. Our apps complement and work alongside your tools, and we tell you how. Both meet Canadian regulation, privacy, and record keeping requirements, both are 100% built and hosted in Canada by Etc. Projects, and both arrive with the process design and role-based training your team needs to use them well.

Agnostic by design across tech, dealer, MGA, license, designation, and jurisdiction. Your independence and your existing relationships stay protected.

The rest of the work

The consulting practice that made these possible.

Practice transformation and technology implementation are still what we do, and they are still where the research comes from. That work now has its own place behind the scenes.

Practice Transformation and Tech Implementation

People, then process, then technology. In that order, every time. We diagnose with depth, align the roadmap to real problems, and stay with the practice through execution.
