The Modern Advisor's Challenge
Professional advisors today—whether they’re financial advisors, tax experts, estate attorneys, or insurance agents—are facing rising client expectations, growing compliance requirements, and increasing pressure to deliver more with less.
Yet most tools designed for advisors are outdated, siloed, or too limited to truly serve as the command center a modern advisory business needs.
That’s why top-performing advisors are turning to a new category of solution: the Advisor Operations Suite—and Strad Pro is the leading platform in this space.
What Is an Advisor Operations Suite?
An Advisor Operations Suite (AOS) is more than a glorified platform or shared drive. It’s a centralized, secure digital command center designed to unify every aspect of your advisory business—from managing multiple client families to collaborating with outside professionals and empowering clients through transparency. Financial advisor. Client management. Family office.
Strad Pro is the pioneer and market leader in Advisor Operations Suites, designed by advisors, for advisors, to help you scale smarter, work faster, and serve better.
