Bridgewell Financial Client Onboarding Portal
Bridgewell Financial seeks to enhance its client experience by developing a custom onboarding portal designed to streamline the setup of group benefits plans for companies. The current onboarding process is manual and time-consuming, leading to potential delays and client dissatisfaction.

The tasks involved include designing the user interface, developing the backend functionality, and testing the portal for usability and efficiency.
