New Client Onboarding for RIA Firm Administrators with Orion
Run new client onboarding on autopilot inside Orion.
The Problem
Onboarding a new RIA Operations client means IPS drafting, account opening at the custodian, ACAT transfers, and 11 documents — and delays cost the AUM to hesitation.
What We Build in Orion
AI drafts the IPS from the risk questionnaire, pre-fills custodian forms in Orion, orchestrates ACATs, and chases missing signatures — days-to-funded drops from 21 to 7. Purpose-built for teams running Orion — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
Orion Integration Approach
Audit your Orion configuration
We map the specific Orion objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your ria operations practice.
Build on the Orion API or agent
Integration happens inside Orion — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Orion with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
Frequently asked
Does this new client onboarding automation work natively in Orion?+
Yes — we build directly on Orion's API or agent integration. Your data stays in Orion, your ria firm administrators keep the same login and UI, and there's no parallel system for the team to learn.
What Orion configuration do we need before deployment?+
We work with your existing Orion setup. During discovery we map the specific objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation touches — no rip-and-replace required for ria operations teams.
Can Orion handle new client onboarding on its own?+
Orion handles configuration; AI handles judgment. Native Orion workflows route deterministic tasks; our automation layer adds the AI judgment Orion doesn't ship out of the box — document classification, exception triage, drafting.
Is Orion the right tool for new client onboarding for ria firm administrators?+
Orion is widely used among ria operations teams precisely because of its data model around new client onboarding. We've deployed this workflow on Orion for similar firms and the integration is well-trodden.
What's the typical ROI of new client onboarding automation in Orion?+
For ria operations firms running Orion, automation typically pays back inside the first quarter — measured against the loaded cost of the ria firm administrator hours absorbed. Higher volumes deploy faster.
