Back-office support that scales your practice

Independent advisors and small wealth-management firms run on a thin operational layer: client onboarding paperwork, document collection, CRM hygiene, compliance prep, performance reporting, and meeting prep. Our Financial Services VAs are trained on the rhythm of a small advisory practice — and on the CRMs and tools that run it (Redtail, Wealthbox, Salesforce FSC, Orion, Tamarac, eMoney, MoneyGuidePro).

Every engagement starts with a security and access review. NDAs are signed on day one. Access is least-privilege in your CRM and document management systems. Sensitive data flows through encrypted channels — never plain email. Where compliance review is required, we coordinate with your firm's compliance officer before the VA touches client data.

Where the time savings show up

New-client onboarding cycles drop from weeks to days when paperwork chase, document collection, and CRM setup are owned by a dedicated VA. Quarterly reviews go from a multi-day prep marathon to a clean, repeatable process. Most advisors we work with reclaim 8–12 hours a week within the first 60 days, and use that time to grow AUM rather than process it.

Where compliance ends and operations begin

We're explicit about what a Financial Services VA does and doesn't do. They don't give investment advice, execute trades, or sign anything on behalf of the firm or a client — those activities require licenses they don't hold. They do own the operational layer: client onboarding paperwork, document collection, CRM and document-management hygiene, performance-report preparation, meeting prep packets, and the recurring follow-ups that turn a relationship into a retained client. That division keeps the work clean from a compliance standpoint and frees licensed advisors to focus on advice.

Most independent advisors and small wealth-management firms reclaim 8–12 hours per week within the first 60 days. For a sole-practitioner advisor, that's typically 2–4 additional client conversations a week — the most direct lever for AUM growth.

Tools we work in

Redtail, Wealthbox, Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, Practifi for CRM. Orion, Tamarac, Black Diamond, and Addepar for portfolio reporting. eMoney and MoneyGuidePro for planning. DocuSign and Adobe Sign for e-signature workflows. Box, ShareFile, and Egnyte for secure document exchange. Where your firm uses something different, we'll source a VA already fluent in it — we don't ask you to migrate to fit our staff.
