RIA Specialists

RIA Platform Building & Custody Strategy

Practice Management & Technology Advisory in a Fiduciary Lens. Most technology consultants do not adhere to a fiduciary duty, they are in the game to maximize billable hours. We operate on a Fixed Firm Price model and deliver technology advisory solutions (e.g,. CRM Platform Advice and CRM Due Diligence) through a fiduciary lens as an SEC Registered Entity

Since 2010, Future Advice has advised, established and built up RIA practice management solutions for nearly 4,569 RIAs (see here). On an enterprise (custody and clearing) perspective, Franklin has spearheaded and led innovations cross LPL Financial (with their CRM Salesforce strategy and implementation), TD Ameritrade institutional (with a custody sponsored CRM solution), creating tremendous value throughout the entire RIA industry. The track record extends to major portfolio management systems such as Orion Advisor (see here).

RIA Advice Administration Including CRM Integrations

An RIAs decision on CRM is not a decision on CRM, it is a decision on practice management transformation. We help RIAs determine their practice management playbooks (if the CRM of choice is Salesforce) from implementation strategy to integration solutions (we solve all integrations with our partnership with AppCrown).
