Wealth Management Firm

5-50 advisor multi-office firm. UHNW households, model portfolios, and a back-office team that drowns in quarter-end prep and onboarding paperwork.

Recovers ~3,200-4,800 advisor hours/year at a 25-advisor firm = ~$640k-1.2M/yr in capacity unlocked, or room for 200-300 additional UHNW households.

A day in the life

What the next Tuesday looks like

It's quarter-end at a 25-advisor wealth management firm. The COO is fielding Slack messages from three branch leads about missing custodian files, two new $5M+ households are in onboarding (each with 6 entities and a trust attorney who hasn't returned the paperwork), and compliance wants proof that every client communication from the last 90 days is in the archive before the SEC mock exam next week.

Each advisor has 40-80 households. Each household needs a quarterly review packet. Each packet needs performance commentary, IPS drift analysis, tax-loss harvesting flags, beneficiary review, and a personalized agenda. The firm's best advisors spend 40% of their week on assembly, not advice.

The AI Operating Layer runs the back office: custodian data reconciliation fires nightly, onboarding checklists advance automatically when documents land, review packets draft in each advisor's voice from CRM + custodian + IPS data, compliance logging happens on every outbound touch by default. Advisors review and edit in 20 minutes per household instead of 2 hours. The COO sees one dashboard: what's ready, what's blocked, who's waiting on whom.

In the wild

How this actually plays out

Multi-advisor quarterly review prep is the highest-leverage workflow at a wealth management firm.

At quarter-end, the system pulls performance and position data from custodians (Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing) per household, merges CRM notes and life events, checks each household against its IPS for drift thresholds, flags tax-loss harvesting opportunities and RMD obligations, and generates a draft review packet in the assigned advisor's voice. Ops reviews a branch-level queue; advisors disposition their households in 15-25 minutes each.

The boundary is hard: AI never recommends trades, never determines suitability, never sends client-facing material without advisor approval. It assembles facts and drafts narrative. Compliance gets an immutable log of every draft, edit, and send.

A 25-advisor firm with ~1,400 households recovers ~800-1,200 advisor hours per quarter, equivalent to 4-6 full-time associates, or capacity to add 200-300 households at the same service level without hiring.
