Installed automation

Automation for advisory firms past CRM and portal sprawl

RIAs and advisory firms rent CRM, planning, and portal seats. Ops still runs on people: prospect intake, onboarding, ongoing service, reporting, and billing. CrestSystems installs one owned agentic backend that runs the firm A to Z so you cut ops headcount, expand margin, and serve more relationships without hiring lockstep.

Suite seats do not own your operation

Advice platforms and CRMs hold household data. Teams still chase paperwork, schedule reviews, assemble reports, and reconcile billing. Growth in relationships still means growth in ops desks.

CrestSystems installs owned agentic automation in your environment — not another rented advisor suite agent locked inside a vendor control plane.

Full firm backend on autopilot

Prospect intake and qualification, onboarding and account setup steps, ongoing service delivery work scoped in audit, review prep and client reporting, and billing signals run in one system. Agents monitor stuck work and handle inbound service load.

Compliance-sensitive decisions stay under your policies with optional human-in-the-loop. We do not sell investment advice.

  • Prospect and referral intake routed by fit and capacity
  • Onboarding document chase and kickoff without re-keying
  • Service delivery steps and review prep from live household data
  • Client reporting that does not require manual deck builds
  • Billing and exception queues in the same backend

Serve more relationships with less ops payroll

Cut the ops and service-delivery headcount that scales with every household. Incremental service cost moves toward compute. Ops payroll on that spine moves toward near-zero relative to relationship count. AUM and relationships can rise without hiring lockstep.

Documented Crest pattern elsewhere in the book: operating team 70 to 3 on a full-stack ads agency install. Advisory installs follow the same ownership economics; audit sets which offices and service lines are in scope. No fabricated AUM claims.

Install path

We install, not consult. Audit → 2 to 4 week build in your environment → 30-day optimization → you own it. Book an audit if you want an installed partner rather than another suite seat.
