Today, 10.20 am Does any one use anything that is like criteria brain? I need another option thanks
Yesterday, 4.05 pm No issues at all so far. It's one of the first systems that I've seen who are proactively working with advisers

Yesterday, 12.25 pm I was previously told that it will be the latest year unless there has been an increase of 25% year on year, at which point they may average it across 2 years.

Yesterday, 10.36 am Fingers crossed......thank you for all your answers.  
Yesterday, 10.35 am What is your experience with Adviser IQ? I've not heard of them before now.
