The Problem

## Too Much Paper. Too Many Systems. Too Much Risk.

Private wealth firms in Canada are still operating on outdated, disconnected systems that create real operational and compliance risk.
## Current State

- Paper-based onboarding packages
- PDF-driven KYC and AML collection
- Spreadsheets for compliance tracking
- Disconnected CRM, portfolio, and reporting systems
- Email-driven document collection
## The Result

- Duplicated data entry
- Missing or incomplete documentation
- Onboarding delays
- Compliance gaps
- Audit risk

Your firm isn't inefficient — your systems are.

Operating Model

## We Build Around How Wealth Firms Actually Operate

Private wealth management is not a CRM problem — it is an operational system. Every firm follows a real-world lifecycle.

Prospect

Proposal

Client

Accounts

Mandate

Portfolio

Review

Compliance

Audit

We design systems around this structure, ensuring every stage is connected, controlled, and auditable. This operating model forms the backbone of everything we build.

Key Workflows

## Structured Workflows Built from Industry Operations

Every workflow is designed to enforce controls, capture evidence, and maintain auditability at every step.
## Client Onboarding Workflow

Convert a new relationship from prospect or referral into an operationally live client structure with correct KYC, account setup, mandate documentation, and workflow control.

1

Create client, household, and related-party records; capture legal names, entity type, trusted contact, powers of attorney, and relationship map.

New relationship shell created with traceable ownership and timestamps.

2

Complete onboarding compliance package including KYC, AML, tax residency, beneficial ownership, source-of-wealth context, and required disclosures.

Compliance-ready profile with evidence and review checkpoints.

3

Establish account structures and registrations, assign custodian, and define billing instructions, authorities, and special instructions.

Operationally valid account framework for custody and billing.

4

Define investment mandate, objectives, risk profile, restrictions, liquidity needs, and service level; bind documentation to the client record.

Suitability baseline and investment-operating rules established.

5

Generate agreements, route for signature, activate account status, and open follow-up tasks for any pending deficiencies or document chases.

Client becomes live only after all mandatory conditions are satisfied.
## Compliance Monitoring Workflow

Embed supervisory control over the entire relationship and portfolio lifecycle so that required evidence, approvals, and restrictions are enforced rather than remembered manually.

1

Track insider status, restricted securities, trading limitations, suitability exceptions, and disclosure obligations.

Centralized compliance state at client, account, and portfolio levels.

2

Log every material profile change, document update, approval, note, task action, and signed client interaction.

Complete books-and-records support for reviews and examinations.

3

Run exception monitoring across missing KYC, overdue reviews, concentration limits, special instructions, and unresolved deficiencies.

Visible queues for overdue or high-risk items.

4

Escalate cases to compliance, operations, or advisory teams based on role and severity.

Role-driven accountability with approvals and attestations.

5

Maintain immutable audit records and exportable supervisory evidence.

A defensible operating record rather than scattered manual evidence.

Industry Insight

## Private Wealth Technology in Canada: Where the Industry Is Going

The private wealth industry is undergoing a structural shift.

For years, firms have operated using a combination of CRMs, portfolio systems, spreadsheets, and paper-based processes. This model is no longer sustainable.

Regulatory expectations are increasing. Clients expect better transparency. Firms need to scale without increasing operational risk.

The future of private wealth management is:

- System-driven
- Compliance-first
- Workflow-controlled
- Fully auditable

This requires more than better tools. It requires a unified operating platform.

Griffin IT Group is building and implementing that future.

Platform Architecture

## Core Relationship Model & Data Architecture

The platform is anchored to a clear operating spine. The client sits inside a governed network of household relationships, accounts, mandates, portfolios, documents, and compliance states.

Client → Household

Groups individuals and entities into the servicing relationship.

Client → Account

Connects the client to one or more managed or advisory accounts.

Account → Custodian

Defines where assets are held and how operational data is sourced.

Client → KYC / AML

Captures regulatory identity, suitability, and risk facts.

Mandate → Model

Translates investment intent into target allocation structure.

Portfolio → Positions

Stores holdings, activity, and valuation history.

Design spine: Client / Household → Accounts → Mandate → Portfolio / Fund → Transactions / Holdings → Reviews / Compliance / Reporting

## Modernize Your Wealth Operations

If your firm is looking to eliminate paper-based onboarding, modernize compliance workflows, unify systems, improve audit readiness, and build scalable infrastructure — we can help.
