INDUSTRIES / RIA FIRMS
For independent RIA firms.
From signed client to funded account.
At an RIA, work usually stalls between the CRM and the custodian. New-client details are often entered in the CRM, again in account-opening paperwork, and again in portfolio, billing and planning tools, and an account can wait while someone works out which version is right. KCO maps the path from new client to funded account and connects the tools you already use so client data is entered once.
This is operations work, not compliance advice. Your compliance team and custodian decide what has to be collected and documented; the question here is how many times someone types it.
Where the work
usually stalls.
- CRM to account paperwork
- Names, addresses, beneficiaries and account details are rekeyed into custodian forms or portals.
- Paperwork to in good order
- Forms come back not in good order, and the fix has to be made in more than one place.
- Funded to everything else
- Portfolio, billing and planning tools each need the new accounts set up.
- Client to status
- The client asks whether a transfer has landed, and the answer sits in the custodian’s portal.
Keep the tools
that work.
For example: your CRM; custodians such as Schwab, Fidelity or Pershing; your portfolio management and billing software; your e-signature tool; and the spreadsheets in between.
These are examples, not a list of supported integrations or a judgment of any custodian. We check access, limits and fit for your specific tools before proposing connections.
Where to start.
Start with the free written plan. We look at your public site and send one page: where work likely gets retyped, what it’s costing you, what we’d build first and the one number that shows it’s working.
