Onboarding Workflow
The structured 9-stage process taking a new client from initial lead through funded, allocated account: (1) lead intake, (2) suitability call, (3) KYC intake, (4) IPS draft, (5) IPS signature, (6) account paperwork (custodian forms, beneficiary designations, advisory agreement, fee disclosure), (7) ACH or wire funding, (8) first allocation (typically over 2-6 weeks to manage entry-timing risk), and (9) the 30-60-90-day check-in cadence (operational/relational/quarterly review). Typically 4-8 weeks end-to-end. The biggest workflow risk is IPS-vs-actual-allocation drift; the highest-ROI habit is the 30-60-90 check-in cadence scheduled at account opening, not ad-hoc.
