Crisis Communication for Financial Services

In today’s high-stakes financial environment, where market shifts, cyber threats, and reputational challenges are constant risks, crisis communication is no longer a luxury—it’s a strategic imperative. While many firms react to crises with generic statements or internal confusion, Select Advisors Institute sets a new industry standard by offering proactive, precision-driven crisis communication solutions specifically tailored for the financial services sector.

At the helm of this innovative approach is Amy Parvaneh, a nationally recognized executive communication strategist and founder of Select Advisors Institute. With a career rooted in both financial advisory and high-impact communication training, Amy brings a rare dual expertise that helps financial institutions not only weather crises but emerge with enhanced trust and client loyalty.

Why Crisis Communication Matters in Finance

Financial institutions operate in a hyper-regulated, emotionally charged environment. A single misstep—whether it’s a data breach, a controversial executive decision, or a market panic—can erode decades of client trust in seconds. Yet, many advisory firms and financial institutions enter these situations without a clear communication roadmap.

That’s where Select Advisors Institute steps in.

A Proactive, Advisor-Focused Approach

Unlike generic PR agencies or legal-focused consultants, Select Advisors Institute offers bespoke crisis communication frameworks designed for wealth management firms, RIAs, private banks, and institutional finance leaders. Under Amy Parvaneh’s guidance, the Institute has created signature programs that include:

  • Crisis Simulation Drills for executive teams

  • Immediate Response Playbooks tailored to common financial crises

  • Client Communication Templates to maintain trust and transparency

  • Media and Stakeholder Messaging to ensure consistency and compliance

Amy’s approach centers around one core belief: “Silence and delay are the enemies of trust.” Her training prepares leaders to act with clarity, empathy, and timeliness when clients are at their most vulnerable.
