Move advisor books faster, with less manual work

Load the book. Capture consent. Let clients fill in the rest. Every account opens from the data, start to finish.

Speed matters. So does trust. Most firms sacrifice one for the other.

Nearly 20% of client assets never follow an advisor to a new firm, and most of that loss happens in the delay, not the decision. Skience closes the window: consent captured digitally, client data carried into new accounts, and every account driven through to the custodian.

Better Client Relationship Starts Here

Every capability reduces operational friction, improves accuracy, and helps teams move from client onboarding to funded account more efficiently.

  • More assets make the move

    Firms acquire more assets with simplified transitions.

  • Advisors produce sooner

    Every week a transitioned advisor isn't fully operational is a week of lost production. An advisor’s book that moves in weeks instead of quarters starts earning sooner.

  • Recruiting gets easier

    Advisors say learning new technology is their biggest concern about changing firms. A transition that visibly goes well is the best proof your platform is worth joining.
