Financial Planning Challenges That AI Consulting Solves

Financial advisers, wealth managers, and retirement planning specialists. These are the specific problems we see financial planning businesses bring to us:

1. Collecting and organising client financial documents. Our approach: honest assessment of what AI can and cannot do for your specific business. This directly addresses the way financial planning professionals actually work.

2. Generating compliant Statements of Advice. Our approach: starts with a hands-on discovery workshop, not a questionnaire. This directly addresses the way financial planning professionals actually work.

3. Tracking review meeting schedules across client portfolios. Our approach: advice from someone who builds AI products daily, not just advises on them. This directly addresses the way financial planning professionals actually work.

4. Maintaining records for ASIC compliance and audits. Our approach: honest assessment of what AI can and cannot do for your specific business. This directly addresses the way financial planning professionals actually work.

AI Consulting Solutions for Financial Planning

We build custom applications tailored to financial planning workflows. The exact solution depends on your business size, current tools, and priorities. We scope everything in a free consultation.

What Financial Planning Businesses Can Expect

We measure success by real business outcomes, not feature lists. For financial planning businesses, the key metrics are:

Funds under advice: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Client retention rate: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Review meeting compliance: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Tech adoption in financial planning is at the medium level. About half of financial planning businesses now use some form of digital tools. But most are using off-the-shelf products that only partially fit. Custom software built around your actual workflows is the next step.

Typical investment: $1500-4000. Most financial planning clients see measurable ROI within the first month.

How We Work with Financial Planning Clients

Discovery. You tell us about your financial planning business: what is working, what is not, and what you wish you had. We ask about your current tools, team size, and daily workflows.

Scoping and quote. We define exactly what we will build and send you a fixed-price quote. No hourly rates. For financial planning projects, this usually falls within $1500-4000.

Build. We build your solution, typically within 1 day to ongoing. You talk directly to our founder and lead engineer. No project managers or middlemen.

Launch and handover. We deploy, walk your team through everything, and provide ongoing support. You own all the code and data.
