Synseus Intelligence — Platform Overview

What Synseus Is

Synseus is an AI-powered practice intelligence platform purpose-built for independent financial advisors and RIA firms. It surfaces growth opportunities, succession signals, revenue diagnostics, and M&A intelligence derived from public SEC IAPD data and practice-level inputs.

What Synseus Is Not

  • Not a CRM (it is designed to work alongside CRMs, and CRM connections are coming soon)
  • Not a robo-advisor or client-facing tool
  • Not a compliance platform
  • Not a portfolio management system

Who Uses Synseus

  • Independent RIA principals ($25M–$500M AUM)
  • Breakaway wirehouse advisors building new practices
  • OSJ network administrators monitoring advisor fleets
  • Growth-oriented advisors seeking acquisition targets

  • Precision Tools across 10 practice intelligence modules
  • Succession signal detection across 23,927 SEC-registered and exempt reporting advisers (five of the seven signal types are currently evaluated for these firms)

  • Archetype-based personalization (5 advisor growth profiles)
  • M&A acquisition target identification within geographic radius
  • Peer benchmarking against same-size firms (AUM-band percentile position)
  • SEC ADV Part 2 brochure fee intelligence (effective fees, structures, minimums, custodians)
  • Own-firm profile — your firm's SEC firmographics, succession exposure, and peer-cohort percentile
  • CRM write-back to Wealthbox and Redtail — coming soon; connections cannot be started yet
  • Evidence of Value PDF generation for client retention
