Hi, thanks for your response. Please check your inbox.

RIA in a Box was recently bought by Comply and I use them as a compliance consultant. They also help with filing ADVs, U4s, and quite a bit on the compliance side. A huge help is that they helped with our investment advisory agreements and provide feedback for best practices. For reporting, trading, and billing, I use TAMARAC by Envestnet since they do integrate well with MoneyGuide Pro which is their financial planning software. I also have access to third party money managers on the platform if I choose to use it. I use AdvicePay for direct billing on financial plans. I’ve used Riskalyze in the past for risk assessment but dropped them after a few months. May be worth looking into if you want something more definitive for risk assessments for your clients.

Are you currently using a CRM? Wealth box is a good starting point to integrate with almost all software but definitely keep an eye open for something that fits your needs. I currently use Zoho which also encompasses a marketing tool, electronic signature tool, the ability to create forms such as a fact finder, and many other features. Zoho is also very bare.

Hope this helps!

This was really helpful. We are currently using Maximizer CRM and have been using this for quite some time. But will definitely check out these platforms you suggested. Thanks a bunch!

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch. My background is commercial banking and I am used to analyzing real estate deals from the lender side not the developer. The interviewer is generous I must say he’s giving me a few days to complete. However this model is for a ground up multifamily development. I have no prior experience building one. I can find models online but all very complexe to reproduce. How would you handle? Do you have model to share?
