Essential software for small RIAs **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vern Bell - I. | Multi-Discipline Senior Financial Services Executive, Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2017 **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. **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. **Recommendations to others considering Smart RIA:** Try it. You'll like it. **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. ### 2.

Easy after that... **What problems is Smart RIA solving and how is that benefiting you?** Completed our first state-level 3-day examination in 2 days.
