What is a Goal in the system?

• A. A group of investment accounts
• B. Isolated expenses that the client wishes to fund; can track and save
• C. A report category
• D. A user permission level

Answer: (B)

A Goal is a specific future objective you want to fund and track. It represents an isolated expense you plan to save toward, with a defined target amount and a target date. The system lets you record contributions toward that goal and monitor progress, so you can see how close you are to funding it or adjust your savings if needed. This concept is different from a group of accounts, a report category, or a user permission level—those serve other functions, while a Goal focuses on a concrete, fundable objective you want to achieve. For example, you might create a goal to save $15,000 for a down payment by a certain date and watch the progress as you add funds.
