Cut admin for financial advisors with AI
Advisor admin includes writing up meetings, filling in onboarding forms, requesting statements and updating the client record. AI can draft meeting notes, extract details from statements into a profile, and track which documents are outstanding. The advisor reviews anything that goes into the file, since notes and communications may be subject to recordkeeping rules.

Notes that write themselves, almost
With the client’s permission and your firm’s approval, a meeting can be summarized into key points and tasks. You correct it, then file it. Ask compliance how to store it.
Review the draft with the client present when you can. A quick “did I get that right” builds trust.
Onboarding without re-keying
Information on a statement or intake form should flow into the profile and forms once, not be typed three times. Errors are checked by a person.
Keep source documents linked so anyone can verify a figure.
Tracking what is outstanding
A single list of documents requested, received and missing for each new client keeps onboarding from stalling.
Set reminders for requests that expire, such as a statement that is only valid for a limited time.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
After a review, a draft summary lists decisions, action items and client questions to be answered.
A statement arrives as a PDF and the key account details populate the client profile for you to confirm.
A new client’s onboarding list shows two documents missing and a reminder already sent.
The rules that apply, in their own words
“must be fair and balanced, and must provide a sound basis for evaluating the facts”
“intended for voluntary use and to improve the ability to incorporate trustworthiness considerations into the design, development, use, and evaluation of AI products, services, and systems.”
