Trace
The workflow for becoming and staying examination-ready as an RIA.
Trace helps breakaway advisors, newly launched RIAs, small advisory firms, acting CCOs, ops leads, and outsourced compliance teams run launch, ongoing compliance, and exam readiness in one workflow.
Instead of spreading obligations, documents, approvals, and evidence across folders, reminders, and follow-up threads, Trace keeps the work and the record together so firms can operate with more structure and less compliance chaos.
Why Firms Need Trace
Small RIAs do not just have a reminder problem. They have a clarity, coordination, and evidence problem. Launch is intimidating, ongoing compliance is fragmented, and exam readiness often becomes a scramble.
Launch Is Hard To Sequence
New firms often start with scattered documents, outside guidance, and a growing set of obligations that are hard to run in a clear order.
Ongoing Work Splits Apart
Approvals, documents, annual review, marketing review, vendor oversight, and related tasks tend to break across folders, reminders, and ad hoc habits.
Readiness Becomes Reactive
When the evidence is weak or incomplete, exam readiness turns into a scramble to reconstruct what happened instead of a normal part of operations.
What Firms Can Do In Trace
Trace is built around the actual operating work inside an RIA: get the firm set up, keep obligations moving, and preserve proof as the work happens. The firm profile drives obligations, owners, evidence requirements, due dates, and review work.
Set Up The Firm In A Clearer Order
Move through launch, registration, intake, and early operating work in a sequence that makes sense instead of rebuilding the plan from scratch every week.
Run Ongoing Compliance In One Place
Keep obligations, documents, approvals, annual review, marketing review, vendor oversight, and related work inside one operating workflow instead of scattered systems.
Keep The Record Ready
Preserve ownership, approvals, documents, and supporting evidence as the work happens so exam readiness does not turn into a last-minute reconstruction job.
What Makes Trace Different
Most compliance tools help teams remember tasks. Trace is built to help firms run the work in the right order and keep a stronger record behind it.
Profile-Driven Obligations
Custody posture, registration type, testimonial use, AUM band, and firm complexity change what needs attention. Trace uses the firm profile to shape the operating work instead of handing every firm the same static checklist.
The Record Stays Attached
Documents, approvals, and supporting evidence stay connected to the task instead of drifting into email threads, shared folders, and cleanup work before an exam.
See New Complexity Earlier
The governance posture surface helps firms see where marketing, vendor, custody, or operating complexity is building before it becomes a scramble.
