We are kicking around a client scheduling software. Who do you use and does it integrate easily with RedTail/Wealthbox? Who should we steer clear of?

We're a State registered RIA and I am not overly please with our current compliance firm as they have been tremendously slow to deliver my mock audit report. I was audited by the regulators and passed with flying colors without the support of the compliance firm. Per the State I had everything I needed. I am really looking for someone I can outsource my annual ADV filings, updates, someone I can call to ask questions, etc. I don't need a CCO or monthly compliance support subscription. I appreciate any recommendations.

I am currently looking to connect with professionals or recruiting firms that specialize in hiring financial advisors, paraplanners, and staff for financial planning offices. We are seeking candidates to fill both local positions in our area as well as some remote opportunities. If anyone has recommendations for recruiting firms or individuals with expertise in this area, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Specifically, I am looking for referrals to companies, contact names, and phone numbers that could help facilitate these placements. Thank you Best regards, Brian Quaranta

Hello! Our firm made the decision this week to switch to Wealthbox. Our current/soon to be old CRM is SmartOffice which is very antiquated. The style guide template is very helpful in prepping how we want to organize our data. My question to the group is how do you utilize/determine what's best to be a client category (ex Client - Tier 1) verse using a tag? Our firm has 3 different planning options, manage assets (some clients have planning some don't), and insurance only clients. Thinking through the best way to optimize categories and tags. Thank you for the insight!

Does anyone know the ratio of AUM to CSA? Prior to our CSA who left she was servicing $75,139,717.65. She felt overwhelmed. I was servicing $599,877,556.77 while also being on the management. Broker Dealer Ratio is 2.0MM in revenue to FA/CSA. Thank you.
