Custom platform for investments and wealth

In short

A custom platform for a investments and wealth business tackles one specific leak: every advice firm has the part of its operation that no product fits, run on a spreadsheet and a lot of goodwill: a specific onboarding workflow, a client portal, a scaled-advice or referral process, a way of tracking something particular to how you advise. It works until it does not, and it quietly caps how many clients each adviser can carry without it breaking. Bamco builds it around the tools you already run, so it fits your operation rather than forcing you to change how you work.

The specific leak this plugs

Every advice firm has the part of its operation that no product fits, run on a spreadsheet and a lot of goodwill: a specific onboarding workflow, a client portal, a scaled-advice or referral process, a way of tracking something particular to how you advise. It works until it does not, and it quietly caps how many clients each adviser can carry without it breaking.

This is not a generic problem with a generic tool bolted on. It is a specific leak in a investments and wealth business, and the system is built to close it. You can see the full picture of where a investments and wealth business leaks margin on the investments and wealth industry page.

What Bamco builds

A platform built to the exact process the off-the-shelf tools do not cover. We start with the workflow you currently hold together by hand, a client onboarding process, a bespoke review or scaled-advice workflow, a client portal, and build a system around it that connects to Iress Xplan, your platforms, your accounting and the rest of your stack. You own it, it fits how you actually advise, and it scales past the point where the spreadsheet would have broken.

Two ways in
Ready to talk to the team who would build it?

Bring us the idea you already have, or book an audit and we map where the money is leaking. Either way, you deal directly with the senior team that designs and builds it.

What changes in week one, and by month three

Week one. Early on, the messy manual process gets replaced by a system designed for it, so the workarounds and the spreadsheet that only one person understands stop being a single point of failure.

Month three. By month three the platform is carrying load the spreadsheet never could, connected to the tools you already run, and the thing that used to cap your adviser capacity is now a system that scales with the business.

What it costs

Engagements typically start around $50k and are scoped after a systems audit, priced as a fraction of what a legacy build of the same capability would have quoted. You get a fixed-scope proposal with a real number before anything is built, and you own what we build. The point is not the price. It is that a well-built custom platform for a investments and wealth business is meant to pay for itself in multiples, by plugging a leak that is costing you every week it stays open.

Common questions

Questions, answered

How do we know we need custom and not another module in Xplan?
Often an off-the-shelf tool or an Xplan module is right, and we will say so. Custom makes sense for the part of your operation no product covers, the bespoke onboarding, scaled-advice or portal process you currently run on a spreadsheet. A systems audit is where we work out honestly which parts to buy and which to build.
Will it work with the tools our investments and wealth business already uses?
Yes. Bamco builds around and into your existing stack, tools like Iress Xplan, Midwinter, Class and the rest of what you run, rather than asking you to replace them. The custom platform connects to what you have so data flows instead of being re-keyed, and you keep the systems your team already knows.
