Where the hours go in financial advisors and rias.

Four patterns we hear from financial advisors and rias on every diagnostic call. None of them get fixed by hiring. All of them get fixed by writing the implicit rules down and letting AI carry the rote work.

  • /01
    Meeting prep eats prime hours every morning
    A 9am meeting needs the CRM history, the portfolio snapshot, the recent news, and the client's last email. Every advisor assembles it by hand at 8:45.
  • /02
    Compliance review is a bottleneck
    Every email and marketing piece sits in a queue. The CCO is one person. The deals do not move until they move. Sometimes they do not move.
  • /03
    Client reporting is rigid and quarterly
    A client asks "how are we doing on the IRA?" The answer takes the operations team an hour to assemble. The client wanted to know now.
  • /04
    New client onboarding takes weeks
    KYC, risk profile, custodian paperwork, ACAT transfers — every piece is a separate workflow with its own delay. The first three weeks of a relationship are paperwork.

The automations, in plain English.

7 components · ships in 3–6 weeks
/01

Meeting prep brief generator

CRM + portfolio + recent news + last meeting notes → one-page brief in the advisor's inbox the morning of. Every meeting starts on the front foot.

/02

Meeting note → CRM update

Recorded or transcribed meeting → structured CRM update with follow-up tasks, action items, and the next-meeting agenda. Advisors stop typing after sessions.

/03

Compliance pre-flight check

Drafted email or marketing piece runs through a compliance-aware pre-flight before it hits the CCO queue. Risky language flagged with the rule cited. Review queue gets shorter.

/04

On-demand client portfolio reports

Client-friendly portfolio summaries generated on demand from your portfolio system. Advisors can answer the "how are we doing" question in minutes, not hours.

/05

Onboarding workflow

KYC, risk profile, custodian paperwork, and transfer initiation in one guided flow. New-client onboarding goes from three weeks to one.

/06

Rebalancing alert system

Daily portfolio drift checks against the IPS bands. Alerts the advisor before the threshold is crossed, with a drafted client comm.

/07

AUM-segmented lead nurture

Different drip cadences and content per AUM tier. The right prospect gets the right attention at the right time.

Three steps. No surprises.

01

Audit

15-min discovery → two-week paid diagnostic. Operator interviews, workflow shadowing, and three nasty real examples worked end-to-end. By day ten you have a scope, a price, and a signed-off KPI.

02

Build

Senior operators in your repo and your Slack. Code, prompts, and evals shipped in 3–6 weeks. KPI signed off in writing before we start. Miss the number, the next sprint is on us.

From $14k · 3–6 weeks
03

Handoff with SOPs

Two rounds of post-launch tuning. Then your team owns it. We hand over the code, the eval harness, the runbook, and the SOPs. No retainer required. No vendor lock-in.

Owned by you · day one

A real engagement.

Anonymized · numbers from the books

A $1.2B AUM RIA with 11 advisors had a six-month wait list and a CCO who was the bottleneck for every outgoing email. We shipped the meeting-brief agent and the compliance pre-flight first. Inside a quarter, advisors logged 27% more meetings, compliance review averaged 4 hours instead of 3 days, and the firm hired the next advisor without the lead-time anxiety.

Things financial advisors and rias actually ask.

  • Is this SEC/FINRA compliant?
    Yes. Communication archiving, supervision logs, advertising rule alignment, and books-and-records requirements are all baked into the workflow. We work with your CCO and your compliance counsel; we do not replace either.
  • How do you handle PII and account data?
    Encrypted in transit and at rest, no cross-tenant training, custodian credentials in a vault, full audit logs of every retrieval. Reg S-P aligned out of the box.
  • Will it integrate with our CRM and portfolio tools?
    Redtail, Wealthbox, Orion, Black Diamond, eMoney, RightCapital — yes. We have shipped against all of them. Custodian integrations (Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing) work through the standard APIs.
  • Can it handle multiple custodians?
    Yes. Most of our RIA clients have two or three. The portfolio-aggregation layer normalizes positions and performance across custodians so the advisor sees one view.
  • How fast does the build go live?
    Two-week diagnostic, then 4–6 week build. Meeting briefs typically ship in week three; compliance pre-flight in week four; on-demand reports by week six.
