Practice Intelligence: The Future of Data-Driven Insights

Do you spend hours gathering client data from multiple sources? Are you concerned that manual reporting could cause missed opportunities that impact your clients and your bottom line? You’re not alone. Advisors across the industry waste millions of hours every year on inefficient reporting, leading to lost productivity.  

Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), broker-dealers, and other financial professionals are drowning in scattered data and tedious analysis. Instead of focusing on value-added activities—like building client relationships and identifying growth strategies—they’re stuck wrestling with spreadsheets, double-checking numbers, and hoping nothing slips through the cracks. 

It’s overwhelming. It’s unsustainable. And it’s solvable. 

The Challenge 

Disconnected data sources, rigid reporting tools, and the constant risk of manual errors drain time and resources. No wonder 61% of advisors cite bad data as their biggest pain point​. Without clean, unified data, firms face not only operational inefficiencies but also heightened compliance risk.  

The Solution 

Enter Practice Intelligence—a powerful, cloud-native reporting and insights platform that simplifies how financial professionals access, analyze, and act on data—saving 3+ hours a week per advisor. 

Imagine tapping into real-time insights across your entire book of business in a single, intuitive interface. No more spreadsheet patchwork. No more VLOOKUPs or pivot tables. No more frustration. And it’s already being used by our enterprise platform clients. 

A few takeaways about Practice Intelligence:  

• Seamless Integration: It consolidates data from all financial sources and CRM systems, securely housing it in our Unified Data Fabric. 

• User-Friendly: Builds and saves custom views. Filters by market value, account type, advisor name—or whatever else you need—without any technical expertise. 

• Lightning-Fast Performance: Handles massive datasets in real time—no timeouts, no delays. 

Turn Insights Into Action 

Better data isn’t just about dashboards—it’s about taking targeted actions that accelerate growth and improve client engagement. Practice Intelligence enables advisors to: 

• Segment their book of business by portfolio size, risk tolerance, and engagement level to uncover growth opportunities. 

• Identify accounts with uninvested cash and recommend investment strategies. 

• Highlight Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) to ensure compliance. 

• Pinpoint tax-loss harvesting opportunities to optimize tax strategies. 

• Flag accounts falling short of contribution limits to help clients maximize financial potential. 

By transforming raw data into actionable insights, Practice Intelligence enables advisors to proactively engage clients, personalize recommendations, and seize opportunities—all with a seamless, data-driven platform.
