Support Fee-For-Service Financial Planning Revenue Models For Your Advisors To Reach Next Generation Clients

Established financial services firms are facing significant demographic challenges with an aging client base but have struggled to serve smaller AUM clients profitably. A move towards innovative new financial planning fee-for-service business models allows forward-thinking enterprises to extend their reach beyond traditional AUM clients and sustainably and profitably serve younger clientele with recurring financial planning fees.

Oversee Fee-For-Service Financial Planning as an Enterprise...Profitably

Operationalizing and scaling a large volume of recurring financial planning fees is impossible when every client writes a check. And it can be even more challenging to oversee advisors charging such fees to ensure they’re actually providing the appropriate financial planning deliverables. Existing commission and AUM revenue management systems simply aren’t capable of handling the significant shifts, from fee billing to collections, compliance oversight of deliverables to payment processing. That's where AdvicePay comes in:

Easy Payment Processing

No more handling and overnighting paper checks! Enable clients to pay by ACH or credit card for simpler payment processing, faster revenue cycles, reduced postage costs, and reduced payment failures.

Branded Client Experience

Provide an intuitive client experience with a white label portal, powered by AdvicePay.

Deliverables

With AdvicePay, all fee-for-service financial planning is tracked in one place. Ensure nothing slips through the cracks or gets lost in transit by easily tracking open, past-due, and completed financial planning deliverables. Avoid fee-for-no-service compliance risks by validating the quality of service that was delivered.

Simple and Customizable

Streamline the fee-for-service process for Home Office, Advisors, and your compliance team while maintaining customizable controls.

Manage Your Firm

Whether setting firm-wide financial planning fees, customizing invoices for individual engagements, accounting for what's been billed and paid, or managing a team of advisors offering fee-for-service financial planning, AdvicePay Enterprise is ready to provide your organization with intuitive, customizable support.

Maintain full visibility and access to billing, while retaining control through flexible internal permissions and approvals.

Managing compliance is a chief concern for every firm. That is why AdvicePay was built from the ground up with compliance in mind. AdvicePay is the only billing and payment solution designed exclusively to serve the financial advisory industry. That means we’re built to comply with the myriad of industry regulations, and when state, SEC, or FINRA regulations change, our platform adjusts. Ensuring that processes and procedures remain current with ever-changing state and Federal rulings and regulator preferences is an important job.

We will show you how to do fee-for-service compliantly and give you all the compliance tools necessary to verify financial planning deliverables. With AdvicePay Deliverables, you can scalably review deliverables in real-time, and throw out that spreadsheet for good! Avoid the risk of regulatory fines, and provide validation to regulators that the plan was delivered for the fees that were charged.

AdvicePay supports the work of Compliance Officers and Compliance Managers by enforcing workflows for their Representatives designed to meet regulatory guidelines and providing tools for oversight. You will feel confident that things are not falling through the cracks -- be able to easily review every plan, not just a sampling of them.

AdvicePay equips organizations to report on all activities when an audit is requested. Clients input their own payment information, avoiding the representative or firm having custody-triggering access. In addition, clients must approve all invoice payments and subscriptions, which restricts an advisor's ability to bill clients without their permission. You'll never have to worry about your representatives handling paper checks again!

SOC 2 Type II Audited badge

AdvicePay maintains a proactive approach to protecting the account and financial information of firms, advisors, and clients. From the cloud-based services we utilize, to our testing and maintenance approach, we're committed to providing a platform that leverages state-of-the-art security measures.

AdvicePay has completed the SOC II Type 2 examination and audit. A SOC 2 audit provides an independent, third-party validation that a service organization’s information security practices meet industry standards stipulated by the AICPA. This Attestation of Compliance is widely known as the industry benchmark for SaaS businesses and the most stringent examinations of an organization's security controls, policies, and procedures, and we are proud to exceed customer expectations when it comes to protecting their data.

Our payment processor Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 Compliant, the highest level of compliance certification available to payment processors. All data at AdvicePay is encrypted and secured, to ensure your client information never falls into the wrong hands. We are happy to complete your firm's due diligence to provide your firm peace of mind.

We never store any payment information on the AdvicePay database. So, no one has to worry about their information being compromised.

But the reality is that next-generation clients can be served profitably; it simply requires charging financial planning fees for the advice that is provided.
