Your team is already using AI. The question is whether it's compliant.
We help investment managers and advisory firms build AI workflows that survive an audit — starting with the work that touches no client data.
Two problems, and most firms have both.
The one nobody plans for. People at your firm are already using AI, quietly, on whatever account they have. You can't realistically ban it — and even if you did, the usage would move somewhere you can't see, which is worse. But the moment someone pastes client holdings or account details into a chat window, you have an archiving and privacy problem that nobody consciously decided to take on.
The distribution one. Breadth stopped being the constraint years ago. Anyone can reach a thousand qualified prospects in an hour, which is precisely why nobody answers. Gatekeepers and advisors are buried in outreach that's obviously scraped and lightly personalized. What actually works is knowing which ten people to reach and why now — and that research is exactly what nobody has time for.
There's a third, quieter problem: most firms plateau about two months into using AI. The team learns to draft emails faster, and then stops, because nobody has shown them what else is possible.
Three places it pays off first.
We run these engagements in two deliberate phases.
Phase one — no client data
Marketing, proposals, research, internal reporting, business development. Real hours, no compliance exposure, and this is where the team builds fluency.
Phase two — inside the guardrails
Client data, portfolio work, modeling. The value changes here: it may not save hours, but it becomes a serious research, modeling, and brainstorming partner.
Underneath both
The governance layer that makes either one defensible.
The workflows we build.
Not a menu you buy off. It's the work we've actually built in this industry — start with the one costing you the most hours.
Compliance foundation
- AI acceptable use policy, written for your regulatory environment
- Archiving and retention workflows for anything client-facing
- Data classification — what can go where, and what never does
- Review and approval workflows before anything goes out
- Staff training on the rules, not just the tools
Business development
- Center-of-influence mapping — the CPAs, plan administrators, estate and divorce attorneys, and insurance brokers who see liquidity events coming years before they close
- Trigger event monitoring — business sales, executive stock sales, IPOs, plan terminations, retirements, probate
- Prospect research briefs: background, board seats, connections, and a plausible reason to reach out now
- Personalized outreach drafted in the advisor's own voice
Marketing and content
- Market commentary and thought leadership drafting
- Fact sheet and marketing material updates generated from master data
- Campaign and email copy with compliance flags surfaced before review
- AI search visibility, so your firm shows up when prospects ask a model instead of a search engine
Client service
- Meeting preparation briefs assembled from your CRM and prior notes
- Meeting notes turned into CRM records and follow-up tasks
- Annual review packages
- Client question and request drafting
Investment operations
- Research, earnings, and filing summarization
- Conviction and decision tracking against actual performance
- Model and process documentation
- Screening and shortlist support
Firm operations
- Budgeting, forecasting, and variance reporting
- Board and partner reporting
- Expense and vendor analysis
Advice. Anything client-facing that hasn't been through your compliance process. And volume for its own sake — in a compliance-sensitive firm, deliberate and partner-approved beats high output every time, and we build to that constraint rather than around it.
What working together looks like.
We start in phase one, on work that touches no client data. Your team sees the quality, your compliance officer sees the process, and the governance layer gets built alongside the workflows instead of retrofitted after. Phase two happens when everyone's ready, not before.
Research
We map how work actually moves through your business — not the org chart, the real path — and quantify where the hours go.
Build
We build inside the tools you already own. No new platform, no custom system that breaks when the technology changes, no vendor lock-in. Everything we build belongs to you.
Train
We teach your team to run and extend what we built, so the next workflow doesn't require us.
What this industry always asks.
"Compliance will never approve this."
They'll approve a documented process faster than a tool. We work directly with compliance and IT on archiving, audit trails, access, and prompt-level rules — and when a control turns out to cost more than it protects, we say so rather than stalling the project for months.
"We tried AI and it plateaued."
That's the normal outcome of adopting a tool without redesigning a workflow. Drafting emails faster is the floor, not the ceiling.
