M&A due diligence data analytics

Platform & Services

Digital M&A diligence and post-close integration — powered by AppCrown.

FutureAdvice delivers structured digital services for RIA transactions — from pre-close due diligence to post-close operational integration — built on AppCrown's wealth management data infrastructure.

AppCrown Data Infrastructure

The data foundation that makes everything else possible.

AppCrown is a purpose-built data infrastructure platform for wealth management firms. It aggregates and normalizes data across custodians, portfolio systems, CRMs, and alternative investment platforms — creating a single, structured data layer that FutureAdvice services run on top of.

Multi-custodian aggregation

Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing, and 40+ custodians — all normalized into a single data model.

Alternative investment data

Capital calls, valuations, K-1s, and distributions from fund administrators — structured and reconciled automatically.

CRM & workflow integration

Bidirectional data flows with Salesforce, Redtail, Wealthbox, and other advisor CRMs.

Structured extraction for M&A

Pre-built data extraction templates for RIA due diligence — AUM by custodian, revenue by client, technology stack mapping.

Digital M&A Due Diligence

Faster, deeper, more defensible deal analysis.

Traditional RIA due diligence is slow, manual, and inconsistent. FutureAdvice delivers digital diligence services that extract, structure, and analyze the data that matters — so buyers and sellers can move faster with greater confidence.

Post-Close Integration

Operational integration that actually closes.

Most RIA acquisitions fail to capture their projected synergies because post-close integration is undermanaged. FutureAdvice delivers a structured integration program — technology migration, data reconciliation, operational alignment, and staff onboarding — on a defined timeline with clear milestones.

Technology Migration

Systematic migration from the acquired firm's technology stack to the acquirer's platform — or to a unified FutureAdvice-managed stack — with zero data loss.

Data Reconciliation

Full reconciliation of client records, account data, and historical performance across both firms — powered by AppCrown's normalization engine.

Operational Alignment

Process mapping and workflow standardization across compliance, billing, reporting, and client service — so the combined firm operates as one.

Staff Onboarding

Structured onboarding program for acquired firm staff — technology training, process documentation, and role-specific playbooks.

Client Communication

Managed client communication program for the transition — templated, compliant, and timed to minimize attrition risk.

Day-100 Reporting

Integration milestone reporting at 30, 60, and 100 days post-close — with variance analysis against the integration plan.
