We’re excited to share that OnBord has been selected as a finalist for M&A Deal Support at the 2025 WealthManagement.com Industry Awards, also known as the “Wealthies.” This recognition highlights our commitment to supporting financial advisors through the complex process of mergers and acquisitions and firm transitions.
Recognition Among Industry Leaders
Being named alongside other finalists across all categories is an honor that reflects the collective innovation driving the wealth management industry forward. The Wealthies celebrate the technologies, solutions, and companies that are making a meaningful impact on how financial advisors serve their clients and grow their practices.
Supporting Advisors During Critical Transitions
Our finalist status in the M&A Deal Support category speaks directly to OnBord’s core mission: providing technology that strengthens advisor-client relationships during the most challenging periods of practice transitions. When advisors change firms or when practices are acquired, maintaining client relationships becomes paramount to business success.
The traditional approach to client transitions often relies on manual processes, paper documents, and time-consuming back-and-forth communications. This creates friction precisely when advisors need their operations to run smoothly. OnBord addresses these challenges by automating client data collection through secure SMS messaging, reducing transition timelines from weeks to days.
Technology That Prioritizes Compliance and Security
Our platform was built with the understanding that M&A transitions require the highest standards of compliance and security. Financial advisors must navigate complex regulatory requirements while ensuring client data remains protected throughout the transition process.
OnBord’s approach ensures that sensitive client information never touches our database, instead transmitting directly to integration partners through secure APIs. This design provides the security that advisors and their clients expect while maintaining compliance with industry regulations including FINRA and SEC requirements.
Looking Ahead to the Industry Awards
The celebration will take place at Cipriani’s on September 4th, bringing together the financial advisory industry’s most dedicated professionals and solution providers. The Wealthies represent more than just recognition – they showcase the technologies and approaches that are genuinely improving advisors’ daily work and client outcomes.
This event provides an opportunity to connect with fellow innovators who share our commitment to advancing the wealth management industry. The conversations and connections formed at gatherings like these often lead to the next wave of improvements that benefit advisors and their clients.
The Future of Advisor Technology
Being recognized as a finalist reinforces our belief that the future of wealth management lies in technology solutions that eliminate administrative burdens while enhancing client experiences. As the industry continues to see significant M&A activity, the tools that support smooth transitions will become increasingly valuable.
We remain focused on developing solutions that address real challenges faced by financial advisors. Whether it’s reducing the time required for client onboarding, ensuring compliance during transitions, or maintaining strong client relationships during periods of change, technology should serve as an enabler rather than an obstacle.
Gratitude and Commitment
We extend our congratulations to all finalists across every category of the 2025 WealthManagement.com Industry Awards. The innovation represented by these companies demonstrates the wealth management industry’s commitment to continuous improvement and client service excellence.
This recognition motivates us to continue building technology that makes a real difference in advisors’ daily operations. As we look toward the awards ceremony and beyond, we remain committed to supporting the financial advisory community with solutions that drive efficiency, compliance, and client satisfaction.
The journey of innovation in wealth management technology continues, and we’re honored to be part of an industry that consistently strives to better serve both advisors and their clients.
