Who it's for

Independent advisory practices

An independent practice has a few advisors, a small operations team and clients who expect quick, accurate action. Advisors raise money movements and trades; someone else checks them before they go out. The practice relies on a custodian and a handful of fund administrators and needs to show who approved what.

How Wealth Management Platform is set up for you

Four-eyes on every instruction

Name a reviewer for each advisor so nobody approves their own client's instruction.

Approved counterparties

Keep the custodian, fund administrators and regular payees on one list with eligibility notes.

Month-end snapshots

Load custodian positions and approve a snapshot for each household before client reviews.

Mandates on file

Attach the client mandate and signed forms to each instruction.

An independent practice has a few advisors, a small operations team and clients who expect quick, accurate action. Advisors raise money movements and trades; someone else checks them before they go out. The practice relies on a custodian and a handful of fund administrators and needs to show who approved what.

Start with one advisor's client book. Load counterparties, instruments, custodian accounts and open instructions. Route new instructions through review and verify evidence for each one. Reconcile one month-end for those households before bringing on the other advisors.
