Every financial advisor, RIA firm owner, and wealth manager feels the drag of legacy workflows: client onboarding still relies on PDFs and emails, proposals get delayed by manual data entry, and compliance is an endless game of document and deadline whack-a-mole. At the same time, clients are demanding faster responses, more personalization, and absolute confidence in your compliance processes. If you want to drive growth, deliver an outstanding client experience, and finally recover hours lost to admin, you must rethink your workflow—from digital onboarding to proposal generation and compliance automation.
Why "Frictionless" is the New Standard in Advisory Workflows
A truly frictionless workflow means every step—from client intake to portfolio delivery—happens seamlessly and securely, without duplicate entries, process bottlenecks, or missed compliance alerts. This is more than a productivity boost; it’s about elevating the advisor-client relationship and freeing you to focus on value-added activities that move your business forward.
- Manual tasks (statement parsing, data gathering, document drafting) are minimized or eliminated.
- Advisors operate from a unified system, not juggling siloed tools and repeated logins.
- Personalization happens at scale—each proposal, portfolio, and compliance document is tailored, automatically.
What Is Holding Most Advisory Firms Back?
- Manual onboarding slows growth: Processing client statements, filling forms, and chasing signatures can take between a week and two, even for tech-savvy firms.
- Fragmented point solutions create silos: Disconnected compliance, portfolio, and proposal tools lead to errors, version chaos, and re-keying the same data multiple times.
- Compliance is labor-intensive: Building IPS, tracking portfolio drift, and documenting best interest gets pushed to the end of the month or lost in email chains—opening up risk.
- Personalization is difficult to scale: Delivering tailored proposals or multi-account allocations usually means spreadsheets and manual overlays, limiting how many prospects you can engage at once.
Digitize and Automate Client Onboarding
Start with the most critical bottleneck: onboarding. With Investipal’s onboarding tools, what used to take up to two weeks is now completed in under ten minutes. Here’s how:
- Investipal’s AI-powered brokerage statement scanner instantly ingests PDFs, images, even handwritten notes, parses holdings, and creates a structured portfolio - no manual entry needed.
- Upload statements in any format - our OCR & AI extract every position, cost basis, and asset detail with precision.
- Processed data flows directly into your proposal engine and compliance tools, saving 3–5 hours per account and avoiding costly errors.
- Aggregate all client household accounts: IRAs, 401k, taxable, and more in a single client portal, for a holistic view.
- Integrate a 3-factor risk assessment (behavior, capacity, portfolio) directly into your onboarding flow, embedded on your site or sent as part of an onboarding package.
- Automate e-signature and document delivery so advisors aren't left tracking paperwork or chasing missing forms.
Clients feel the difference: no duplicate forms, fewer delays, and all compliance boxes ticked from the get-go.
Eliminate Proposal Backlogs with Automation
Manual data entry and spreadsheet-driven proposals make it impossible to scale. Investipal changes that by automatically turning client account data and risk assessments into powerful, highly personalized proposals, ready in minutes:
- Current and held-away assets flow directly into the proposal builder—showing prospects a complete view of their financial world.
- Compare existing portfolios to your models across 20+ risk and return indicators, tax implications, and costs.
- Bring clarity to your recommendations: side-by-side visuals highlight where your proposal improves risk, reduces fees, or boosts diversification.
- Integrate insurance and annuity analytics for a truly holistic client proposal, including easy-to-understand cash flow and growth projections.
- Download or share the proposal with a click—no time wasted formatting or sending drafts back and forth.
With proposals personalized and ready within 10 minutes of intake, you turn responsiveness into your competitive advantage.
Automate Compliance From Intake to Ongoing Monitoring
Compliance doesn’t need to slow you down. With Investipal, much of the documentation, monitoring, and reporting is built in and handled automatically:
- Generate compliant Investment Policy Statements (IPS) and Reg BI documents with a single click, pre-filled with current client data.
- Document best interest automatically – each client receives personalized disclosures, and each recommendation is tracked for audit-readiness.
- Monitor portfolio drift—get automated alerts when allocations move out of tolerance, so you can take proactive action and maintain IPS compliance.
- Leverage Know Your Product (KYP) workflows to compare solutions and demonstrate why your proposal is in the best interest of the client.
- All actions and documents are timestamped, stored, and easily exportable for regulatory review or internal audit.
Firms with these workflows realize up to 95% time savings on compliance admin, with greater confidence and reduced risk of regulatory slip-ups.
Centralize Data—Eliminate Siloed Tech Stacks
Running portfolios and compliance on one tool, proposals on another, and CRM on yet another isn’t just exhausting—it's a recipe for errors and slowdowns. By centralizing everything in one platform:
- Advisors enter data once—every downstream tool is populated from that single source of truth.
- No more duplicated effort, version confusion, or “which doc is the latest?” head-scratching.
- Firm-wide policies are implemented and monitored without constant oversight.
- Support for custom branding and advisor-level adjustments ensures every proposal, IPS, or report reflects your unique value.
Personalize at Scale—AI-Powered Portfolio Construction
A major barrier to growth is balancing deep personalization with a lean team and limited time. Here’s how we help you deliver tailored portfolios for every client, fast:
- Upload your investment universe—public equities, alts, even custom or private assets—and our AI module learns your style and preferences.
- Generate client-specific allocations in seconds, factoring goals, risk, account type, and household structure.
- Portfolios use explainable AI—so you can transparently walk clients and compliance through every decision.
