One

Invite, intake, planning, portfolio review, and client delivery stay connected.

Five

Five connected workflows

25-50 household pilot

Start with one advisor team and one operations lead before expanding firmwide.

Why change

Most RIAs are still stitching together the household journey across disconnected tools.

The real cost is duplicate entry, manual handoffs, repeated client requests, and broken context between teams.

Security & governance

Built for controlled advisory operations.

RIA Core surfaces the operational controls RIAs ask for before they move core household workflows into one platform.

Governance is part of the product story, not a footnote. Advisors, clients, and operations can work in one system without losing clarity around permissions, visibility, and auditability.

MFA

Protect advisor and client access with multi-factor authentication.

Role-based access

Separate permissions cleanly across advisor, client, and admin experiences.

Page-level client visibility

Share only the client pages, plan views, and tools an advisor wants visible.

Audit logs

Track user actions and administrative changes with a reviewable history.

Admin controls

Support approvals, imports, and cleanup with clearer operational guardrails.

Planning assumption governance

Control planning inputs deliberately instead of scattering settings across tools.

FAQ

Questions RIAs ask before changing their operating platform.

The goal is usually not a wholesale rip-and-replace. It is proving that household onboarding, planning, client delivery, and operations can run more cleanly in one connected workflow.

Do we need to replace everything at once?

No. Most firms start with onboarding, planning, and client delivery, then expand into deeper operational workflows after the pilot proves the model.

Will migration be painful?

The rollout is best handled in phases: confirm the target workflow, migrate active households first, validate the experience side by side, and expand once the team is comfortable.

Will clients use another portal?

Clients get one guided experience for intake, risk, plan review, documents, and next steps instead of bouncing between disconnected requests and separate portals.

Is the product secure and controllable?

RIA Core supports MFA, role-based access, page-level visibility, audit logs, and admin controls so firms can keep client access and operational governance deliberate.

Next step

Start with one workflow: onboarding, planning, and client delivery.

Prove the operating model with one advisor team and a focused household pilot, then expand across the firm.
