What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains Tailored to Your Firm
Reclaim 25+ Hours Weekly on Client Intake
Reclaim 25+ Hours Weekly on Client Intake: Manual KYC processes often consume 15-20 hours per advisor each week, per Deloitte benchmarks, including source-of-wealth verifications. Our custom AI handles identity checks, biometric authentication, and document validation automatically, delivering a 75% time reduction within the first quarter. This translates to advisors closing deals faster, with one firm reporting $450K in additional AUM from accelerated onboarding of high-net-worth individuals under SEC guidelines.
Achieve 300% ROI Through Cost Reductions
Achieve 300% ROI Through Cost Reductions: Compliance errors, such as missed PEP screenings, cost financial firms an average of $250K annually in fines, according to PwC. Our system minimizes risks with precise AML screening, automated audit trails for FINRA examinations, and real-time flagging, yielding rapid payback within six months. Clients see efficiency gains that boost productivity by 40%, directly impacting revenue without expanding headcount, as evidenced by reduced Form ADV filing errors.
Enhance Compliance and Client Trust
Enhance Compliance and Client Trust: In an era of heightened SEC scrutiny and evolving FATCA requirements, our AI ensures every onboarding step—from UBO identification to sanctions checks—meets regulatory standards. By automating risk assessments with machine learning algorithms, we reduce non-compliance incidents by 95%, fostering client confidence and enabling your firm to scale securely amid evolving FINRA guidelines, with full traceability for regulatory audits.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent two full days per new high-net-worth client on KYC paperwork, including manual W-8BEN verifications and source-of-funds documentation. Now, the automated flow with real-time OFAC screening gets it done in under two hours, and we've onboarded 30% more clients this quarter without adding staff. It's been a game-changer for our annual FINRA audits too—no more late nights scrambling for beneficial ownership records."
Sarah Mitchell
Chief Compliance Officer, Apex Wealth Management LLC
"We were buried in manual data entry between our Salesforce CRM and eCFR regulatory filings, losing hours daily to errors that could trigger FINRA Rule 4511 flags. Their custom automation integrated everything seamlessly with API connections, cutting our onboarding errors by 90% and saving us about 18 hours a week on Form U4 submissions. The ROI hit within three months, with zero compliance violations last quarter—highly recommend for any RIA firm."
David Chen
Managing Director and Head of Operations, Horizon Financial Partners
"Onboarding international clients was a nightmare with AML checks, including Patriot Act CIP requirements, taking up to a week for global PEP database queries. AIQ's system flags issues in real-time and pulls data from World-Check and sanctions lists, dropping our average time to one day for FATCA-compliant intakes. We've avoided two potential $100K fines this year and our advisors are finally focusing on portfolio strategy instead of endless admin reviews."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your automation ensure FINRA and SEC compliance?
Our systems are designed with compliance at the core, incorporating SEC Rule 17a-4 for record-keeping and FINRA guidelines for customer information protection. We use AI to automate identity verification while maintaining immutable audit trails for every step. Before deployment, we map your specific regulatory needs—whether it's enhanced due diligence for high-net-worth clients or AML checks for cross-border accounts. This approach has helped firms like yours reduce compliance review time by 70%, ensuring you're audit-ready without manual oversight. Unlike generic tools, our custom builds adapt to evolving regulations, minimizing fine risks that average $200K per incident per PwC reports.
What kind of time savings can financial advisors expect?
Based on benchmarks from 150+ implementations, advisors reclaim 25-30 hours weekly from manual tasks like document collection and verification. For a mid-sized firm onboarding 20 clients monthly, this drops cycle times from 7-10 days to 1-2 days. One client, a wealth management group, reported processing 40% more applications without added staff, directly boosting AUM by $2M in the first year. Our ROI calculator, grounded in Deloitte efficiency data, projects 300% returns within six months by cutting labor costs and error-related rework.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive client data?
Absolutely—security is non-negotiable in financial services. We employ enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for all data in transit and at rest, aligned with SOC 2 and GDPR standards. Access is role-based, with AI monitoring for anomalies to prevent breaches. For instance, our integration with your CRM uses two-way API security to avoid exposing PII. Firms using our solutions have maintained zero compliance incidents in audits, even under heightened SEC scrutiny. We also conduct regular penetration testing, ensuring your confidential client portfolios remain protected amid rising cyber threats in the industry.
How do you customize the automation to our workflow?
Customization starts with a deep dive into your operations—we review your current KYC forms, approval chains, and tools like Salesforce or Wealthbox. Unlike templated software, we build AI models trained on your historical data for precise automation, such as auto-filling risk questionnaires based on client profiles. For a boutique advisory firm, we tailored AML screening to focus on real estate investors, reducing false positives by 85%. This results in a system that feels like an extension of your team, with ongoing tweaks to match workflow evolutions, delivering sustained productivity without the 'one-size-fits-all' limitations.
What is the implementation timeline and cost?
Implementation typically spans 6-8 weeks: two weeks for discovery and design, three for building and integration, and two for testing and rollout. Costs start at $25K for SMBs, scaling with complexity, but deliver immediate savings—our clients see payback in 3-4 months via 25+ hours freed weekly at $100/hour advisor rates. Unlike subscription models averaging $10K/year in hidden fees, you own the system outright. We provide a detailed ROI projection upfront, factoring in your onboarding volume and compliance needs, ensuring alignment with financial advisory budgets.
Can this integrate with our existing financial software?
Yes, we specialize in deep integrations with platforms like Salesforce, Redtail CRM, Morningstar, and DocuSign. Our two-way APIs sync client data instantly, eliminating silos that cause 30% of onboarding delays per industry stats. For example, we automated portfolio uploads to Orion Advisor Tech for seamless post-onboarding setup. This creates a unified ecosystem, reducing errors from manual transfers. If your stack includes legacy systems, we handle custom bridges without disrupting operations, ensuring compliance continuity across tools.
