This is the last in our series of articles analyzing the Pain Chain as it relates to Wealth Management.  We conclude with the final pain points of the Controller in a Wealth Management Organization.

Wealth Management Goal 3 – Minimize Risk

The Requirement

You need a full audit of intercompany transactions, due to, due froms and void transactions and be able to go back and track why you made certain intra and inter operating company business decisions – e.g rent in a shared office. You also need to simply add/remove users to one or more entities.

The Pain

Today you use email to discuss both intra and inter operating company business. It is impossible to go back and track why you made certain decisions – e.g rent in a shared office.

The Need

Tie conversations and decisions to financial data and audit those conversations front-to-back office. We need multi-entity audit and user management.

Wealth Management Goal 4 – Compliance

The Requirement

You need to use a GAAP compliant accounting system.  You may fail an audit soon.

The Pain

The cost of Switching from QuickBooks.

The Need

A GAAP compliant accounting system that consolidates across multiple operating companies and is easy to migrate to from QuickBooks.

As you may have already surmised…
