"Essential software for small RIAs"

5/5

What do you like best about Smart RIA?

SmartRIA is easy to use, provides a secure repository for all my client data, and provides a wealth of compliance resources and reminders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smart RIA?

The software is new and there are still non-essential features that need to be added, like sort on file name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Smart RIA:

Try it. You'll like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smart RIA solving and how is that benefiting you?

I maintain all my client, contractor, employee and other essential files in SmartRIA. I have used it to have my outside compliance consultant provide an document review. From this I have identified numerous changes to policy and procedures. Better that problems are identified and corrected now than when the State Securities Board decides to pay a visit.

Needed a User Manual at the outset... I believe there is one now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Smart RIA:

It's a big job to set up the software for a large number of clients, but better done over time rather than the day before an examination. Easy after that... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Completed our first state-level 3-day examination in 2 days. First examination in 10 years, so it was nice to be ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
