What we're most excited about 🎉

Salesforce Additions

We are excited to release a few additions to our Salesforce Integration! We’ve expanded the ways we can support your Salesforce account based on your configuration. We now support organizations using Practifi, and the Financial Services Cloud with personal or individual accounts. You can find details for the various supported setups here in our Knowledge Base! 

We also have a step by step tutorial to get your AdvicePay account integrated with Salesforce here! https://advicepay-1.wistia.com/medias/5aq8noqi5o

 

Deliverables for Enterprise

Operationalizing and scaling a large volume of recurring financial planning fees can be challenging, and it can be even more challenging to oversee advisors charging such fees to ensure they’re actually providing the appropriate financial planning deliverables. That is why we are excited to announce our latest enterprise feature -- Deliverables. 

With AdvicePay Deliverables, 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.

Benefits of Deliverables: 

  • Avoid regulatory fines: Efficiently provide validation to regulators that the financial plan was delivered for the fees that were charged. Support fee-for-service and avoid fee-for-no-service!
  • Efficient workflows: With our scalable Deliverables feature, you can review deliverables in real-time -- for ALL of your advisors -- and throw out that spreadsheet for good!
  • Centralize financial plan oversight and payments: Your agreements, payments, and deliverables all live in the same system, ensuring all fee-for-service is tracked in one place.
