AI workforce for Financial Advisors Finance

AI agents for finance teams in financial advisors

Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the apps your practice's finance function already uses, preparing fee runs, commission matches, and month-end packs for approval.

Finance teams get back the hours lost to fee calculations, statement matching, and month-end assembly.

Where you spend your time

Why Financial Advisors Finance teams switch

We know how your week actually goes

What matters to you
  • The quarterly fee run goes out on time
    Fees are worked from the quarter-end valuation and the signed rate, then queued for sign-off, not left for a busy week.
  • Overdue fees surface before they age
    Unpaid invoices and failed direct debits show on a list the day they slip, not at the next catch-up.
  • Commission arrives in full
    Every provider statement is matched line by line, so a short or missing payment is a query, not a surprise.
  • Bills and receipts kept up to date
    Supplier invoices are entered and card spend gets its receipt, so the bank feed codes cleanly.
  • Month-end assembled, not rebuilt
    Accounts, adviser revenue statements, and variance notes land in a pack ready for the principal's read.
  • Built around your fee model
    These are examples. Build a custom agent for any finance routine your practice repeats.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Financial Advisors Finance team's day.

The problem

Where the hours go

  • The quarterly fee run needs valuations pulled, agreements opened, and percentages worked out by hand for every client, so it slips into the following month and cash flow follows.

    An agent works each fee from the quarter-end valuation and the signed rate and saves draft invoices, leaving you to check the figures and approve the batch.

  • Overdue fees and failed direct debits hide in the ledger until someone has a spare hour, by which time the invoice is two months old and the client has moved on.

    An agent flags the slip the day it happens, drafts the reminder for approval, and keeps a running arrears list so you decide who to call, not who to find.

  • Commission statements arrive in a dozen formats from a dozen providers, and matching them to expected trail line by line takes several afternoons every month.

    An agent reads each statement, matches every line to the client's expected trail, and lists the short or missing payments for you to chase.

  • Month-end turns into assembly: bank lines uncoded, receipts missing, and adviser revenue worked out in a spreadsheet nobody fully trusts.

    An agent codes the feed, chases receipts, and builds the adviser statements and accounts pack as the month goes, so close day is a review, not a rebuild.

Triggers

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

Your agents watch the apps you already use and act the moment something happens, usually within about a minute, handle it based on your instructions, 24/7.

WhenThe quarter-end valuation export landsfires within about a minute
The agent automatically

When the quarter-end valuation export appears in the finance folder, the agent reads it within about a minute, matches each client to the rate in their signed fee agreement, works out the ongoing fee, and saves a draft invoice in Xero. The batch waits for a person's approval before any invoice is issued.

What you do manually today

With Actionist

What your agent runs for you

  • Finance
    240 min / week
    Working out the quarterly ongoing fees

    Someone exports valuations, opens each fee agreement, applies the percentage and tiers in a spreadsheet, and types every invoice into Xero, over most of a week.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent works the fee and drafts the invoice

    An agent reads the valuation and the signed rate, works out the fee, and saves a draft invoice per client, so a person checks figures instead of building them.

  • Finance
    130 min / week
    Chasing overdue fees and failed collections

    Finance scans the ledger when time allows, writes each reminder by hand, and reads direct debit failure codes one by one, so fees age before anyone acts.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent flags the slip and drafts the reminder

    An agent checks the bank feed first, drafts a reminder for approval, reads each failure code, and keeps the arrears list current for the principal.

  • Finance
    170 min / week
    Reconciling provider commission statements

    Finance downloads statements from a dozen portals and matches each line against expected trail in a spreadsheet, usually leaving the gaps until the next quarter.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent matches every line and lists variances

    An agent downloads the statements, matches each line to expected trail, and lists the short and missing payments, so chasing starts the week they arrive.

  • Bookkeeping
    190 min / week
    Entering bills and chasing receipts

    Supplier invoices are keyed in by hand, and each cardholder is asked for a receipt one message at a time, so the bank feed stays uncoded until month-end.

    Bookkeeping Agent
    0 min
    Agent drafts bills and asks for receipts

    An agent reads each bill into a draft, codes the feed with uncertain lines flagged, and asks cardholders for receipts in Slack with the date and merchant.

  • Finance
    150 min / week
    Building adviser statements and the accounts pack

    At month-end finance assembles each adviser's revenue, the profit and loss, and the variance notes from several sheets, which is why the pack arrives in the second week.

    Finance Agent

    Agent assembles the pack as the month goes

    An agent keeps each adviser's running statement and the accounts pack current and drafts the variance notes, leaving the principal to read and decide.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An agent that touches fee income and client payments earns trust only if you can see and stop everything it does. Actionist is built so you approve what is issued or sent, keep every pay and tax decision, and can trace each figure back to its source.

Invoices and chasers wait for your approval

A fee invoice, a reminder, or a provider chase is drafted and queued for sign-off. Nothing is issued or sent to a client or provider unless you widen that setting yourself.

Pay, tax, and write-off calls stay with you

The agent prepares adviser revenue statements, VAT workings, and arrears lists. A person decides what is paid, what is filed, and what is written off.

Every figure traces to its source

Each fee, match, and journal draft is logged step by step with the valuation, agreement, or statement it came from, so a reviewer can follow it.

Financial data stays yours

Credentials sit in an encrypted vault and ledger data is not used to train any model. You can self-host Actionist on your own server.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does my finance team need to be technical to use Actionist?
No coding is needed to describe a finance routine. You explain how your practice works out a quarterly fee or matches a statement, connect the ledger and mailbox, and test the job in Ask each time mode so every draft waits for you. A person still owns the access permissions and every figure that is approved.
How do I get started with a finance agent for my advisory practice?
Book a free demo and bring one real routine, such as last quarter's fee run. Start with that single job: connect Xero and your CRM, give the agent the fee sheet layout, and compare its draft invoices with the ones you issued. Add collections, commission matching, or month-end once the first job checks out.
How do I make customised AI agents for how my practice's finance function works?
Every job shown here is an example, not the limit. You can build a custom agent for your own fee model, your own provider list, or your own adviser revenue-share rules, and choose which of its steps need approval before they run.
How quickly can I set up a finance agent for an advisory firm?
One bounded job can run in a day: connect the ledger and the valuation folder, load the fee sheet, pick Ask each time, and test it on a past quarter. A full finance function takes longer and depends on your access, your fee agreements, and the checks your principal wants to see first.
Where does our fee and ledger data live, and is it used to train AI models?
Credentials are encrypted in a vault and are not shown again, and financial data is not used to train any model. Memory stays on your own machine, and you can self-host Actionist on your own server if you want every record on your own infrastructure.
Our providers post statements in portals with no API. Can the agent still reconcile them?
Yes. The agent operates the screen like a person: it signs in to the provider portal, finds the latest statement, downloads it, and saves it to the finance folder, then matches the lines to expected trail. Computer use runs in the cloud, so the computer must be on while the job runs.
Will the agent issue an invoice or chase a client without me seeing it first?
No, not on its own authority. Pick an Approval Mode per agent: Suggest, Ask each time, or Guarded auto for the lowest-risk routine tasks. Draft fee invoices stay unissued, reminders sit in the queue, and irreversible steps always ask first. One tap in Telegram or Slack approves.
Can the agent decide adviser pay, write off a fee, or file a tax return?
No. The agent prepares the adviser revenue statement, the arrears list, and the VAT workings, and shows its sources. A person decides what is paid, what is written off, and what is filed. It never submits a return, moves money, or instructs a platform on its own.
How does it know the fee is right if a client's rate or tiers are unusual?
It reads the signed fee agreement and the quarter-end valuation, works the fee, and shows the value, rate, and result beside each other on a review sheet. Anything that does not fit the usual pattern, such as a waiver or a tier break, is flagged for you instead of guessed.
