Q1 2026

A strong quarter of platform improvements focused on making billing more intelligent, workflows faster, and your firm’s day-to-day operations smoother. Here is everything we shipped.
 

New Features

• New Account Prorated Billing: Advisors can now accurately calculate prorated fees for newly funded accounts, even when agreements are signed, accounts are opened, and assets are funded on different dates. This eliminates the guesswork and analysis paralysis that often leads to delayed billing, helping firms recover revenue from day one of management rather than waiting until the next billing cycle.
• Contract Status for Enterprise Billing: Firms managing contracts with different billing attributes (such as billing in advance versus in arrears) can now assign and filter by contract status. The platform alerts you when a billing batch is ready to run and helps you segregate fee billing by contract type, reducing the risk of billing errors across complex fee structures.
• Internal Rep Code Assignment: Large firms can now assign rep codes at the account level rather than only at the household level. A sorting and reviewing mechanism makes it easy to manage rep codes across your book, and this information flows directly to downstream payout processes, giving enterprise teams the granularity they need.
• Bulk Billing Pre-Run Alerts: Before running billing, the platform now surfaces actionable alerts for common issues including zero-balance accounts, uncollected fees from prior quarters, and delinked accounts. Advisors can resolve these issues directly in the app or with their custodian ahead of time, eliminating surprises and billing rejections.
• Custom Reporting: Average Daily Balance and Carryover Credits: Advisors can now pull an average daily balance report at the household level to verify fee calculations, as well as a carryover credits report. These reports give firms greater confidence in their billing accuracy and make it easier to answer client questions.
• Inactivity Timeout and Session Extension: The platform now monitors user inactivity and warns you before your session expires. A modal dialog lets you extend your session with a single click, and users are automatically logged out after a defined period of inactivity, keeping firm data secure.

Improvements & Enhancements

• Bulk Account-to-Household Assignment: You can now select multiple accounts on the firm side and add them to a household in one action. A searchable dropdown makes it faster to find and assign accounts without repetitive individual steps.
• Accounts Tab Performance: We optimized the Accounts tab on the firm side for noticeably faster load times. You should already see the improvement.
• Case-Insensitive Search: Search across the platform no longer requires matching letter case. Upper and lower case inputs return the same results, making it faster to find what you are looking for.
• Wealthbox Integration Update: We optimized the Wealthbox integration and updated the household creation workflow so households are created consistently and as expected.
• Streamlined Contract Creation and Amendment: We are progressively updating the Create and Amend contract workflows to reduce clicks and make completion more intuitive. This quarter we added the ability to skip directly to the end of the workflow and removed tabs that did not apply to specific contract types. Expect continued improvements throughout the coming months.
• Expanded Custodian Search: Search capabilities for individual custodians have been expanded, making it easier to locate accounts and data across your custodian connections.
• Clarified Contract Capabilities: Contract action buttons now clearly reflect what each action does, and options that do not apply to a specific contract type are no longer displayed. This reduces confusion and helps users take the right action with confidence.
