FinancialPlanAuditors.com Selected Among “Best of the Web” By Forbes Magazine

RICHMOND, Va., February 25, 2000 – FinancialPlanAuditors.com, the first and only Web site that allows investors and their financial advisors to work together over the Internet to create and modify financial plans, has been selected by Forbes as one of the “Best of the Web” in its special Best of The Web issue that hit newsstands February 14. The Forbes Best of the Web staff surfed more than 1,500 Web sites and chose FinancialPlanAuditors.com as one of 260 Web sites worth visiting. A review of FinancialPlanAuditors.com is also posted on the Forbes.com Web site under the Best of The Web financial planning section.

“We are honored that Forbes has awarded us with a “Best of the Web” designation,” said David Loeper, president and CEO of FinancialPlanAuditors.com. “This recognition not only affirms the quality of our Web site, but also the importance of testing existing financial plans. FinancialPlanAuditors.com is unique because it measures probability analysis based on real historical data and factors in “timing risk” while most financial planning tools assume the same rate of return each year. As the Forbes review of our site says, “Results are a real eye-opener.””

An added benefit to the FinancialPlanAuditors.com site is that investors can now sign up their financial advisor for free, regardless of where the advisor works. The interactive nature of this site also means that logistics are no longer a problem if the advisor and client live in different cities and results from changes made to the plan are instantaneous.

Since its April 1999 launch, the FinancialPlanAuditors.com Web site has had over three million hits and more than 5,000 financial advisors are registered to use the online service. Based in Richmond, Va., FinancialPlanAuditors.com is a privately held business-to-business application service provider for financial advisors and their clients.
