Firms serving hundreds of households generate a steady flow of service requests, and when they land in advisors' inboxes they wait. AssistBPO builds the desk in your shared mailbox, Redtail or Wealthbox workflows, Zendesk or Freshdesk on your domain, staffed by named associates who work your hours, resolve routine requests from your playbook, prepare the paperwork for anything needing a signature, keep the client informed at each step and close the request in the CRM. Every associate is employed staff working inside your archived channels under your information security program, with a backup and a team lead who scores requests monthly on accuracy, tone and turnaround. Clients get a fast, consistent answer; advisors get their inbox back. Plain definition ## What is customer support outsourcing? Customer support outsourcing is contracting an outside provider to staff your customer service: answering tickets, chats, emails and calls, resolving common problems, and escalating the rest to your internal team. At AssistBPO the agents are dedicated employees who work only your queue, in your tools and your hours, managed by a team lead who reports to you. ## What tasks does customer support cover for financial advisors and wealth firms? - Resolve portal login, statement copy and tax-document requests from your playbook - Process address, phone, email and contact updates with verification - Prepare beneficiary, account title and instruction change forms for licensed review - Route performance, advice and money movement questions to licensed staff same day - Keep clients informed at each step through archived email and phone - Log and close every request in the CRM with time and outcome - Maintain the client help center and macros with compliance approval - Report weekly on request volume, turnaround and top request types ## The KPI that matters here Service request turnaround in business days and the share resolved without an advisor. Request types reported monthly show where a client portal guide or a form template would remove work. ## What rules does customer support follow for advisors? 1. **GLBA Safeguards Rule and Regulation S-P.** Client nonpublic personal information is handled under your written information security program: least-privilege access, MFA, managed devices, no local storage and no data outside your systems, consistent with the FTC's Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314) and the SEC's Regulation S-P for registered advisers. 2. **No licensed advice, no money movement.** Assistants never give investment, tax or insurance advice, quote performance, recommend products or execute transactions. Money movement requests are captured and routed to licensed staff for verification under your policy and the rules of the SEC, FINRA and your state regulator. 3. **Books and records and supervision.** Every client email, text and call runs through your archived and supervised channels, consistent with Advisers Act Rule 204-2 and FINRA Rules 3110 and 4511. Assistants never contact clients from personal phones or unarchived apps. 4. **Recording notices and the Marketing Rule.** Calls carry a recording notice in two-party consent states such as California and Florida. Social posts, testimonials and seminar materials go through your compliance pre-approval under the SEC Marketing Rule (206(4)-1) and FINRA Rule 2210. ## Advisors software we work in - [Salesforce](https://assistbpo.com/software/salesforce/) - [Calendly](https://assistbpo.com/software/calendly/) - [Microsoft 365](https://assistbpo.com/software/microsoft-365/) - [RingCentral](https://assistbpo.com/software/ringcentral/) Also in use - Redtail CRM - Wealthbox - DocuSign [See all 80 tools we work in](https://assistbpo.com/software/) ## More for financial advisors and wealth firms Other services for advisors - [Email management](https://assistbpo.com/industries/financial-advisors/email-management/) - [Calendar management](https://assistbpo.com/industries/financial-advisors/calendar-management/) - [Data entry](https://assistbpo.com/industries/financial-advisors/data-entry/) - [Appointment setting](https://assistbpo.com/industries/financial-advisors/appointment-setting/) - [CRM management](https://assistbpo.com/industries/financial-advisors/crm-management/) - [Social media assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/financial-advisors/social-media-virtual-assistant/) - [The advisors pod](https://assistbpo.com/industries/financial-advisors/) Customer support in other industries - [Mortgage brokers & lenders](https://assistbpo.com/industries/mortgage/customer-support-outsourcing/) - [Insurance agencies](https://assistbpo.com/industries/insurance/customer-support-outsourcing/) - [Accounting & bookkeeping firms](https://assistbpo.com/industries/accounting-firms/customer-support-outsourcing/) - [Fitness, salons & spas](https://assistbpo.com/industries/fitness-salons/customer-support-outsourcing/) - [The full customer support page](https://assistbpo.com/services/customer-support-outsourcing/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Which client requests can the associates resolve without licensed staff? Service and access requests that your playbook allows: portal password resets through the custodian's process, statement and tax-form copies, contact detail updates after verification, document uploads to your system, meeting logistics and general questions about how to use the portal. Anything touching account instructions, beneficiaries or titles is prepared as paperwork for licensed review. Anything about performance, holdings or what a client should do goes to the advisor. ### How are requests verified before contact details are changed? By the verification steps your compliance officer sets, such as a callback to the number on file, confirmation of identifying details or a signed form for changes that affect account access. Email-only requests to change an address or phone number are never actioned on the email alone. Each verification is logged in the CRM with time and method, which gives your firm a record if a change is ever questioned. ### Can the desk cover tax season and other peaks? Yes. Peak periods such as tax-document season, RMD deadlines and year-end are planned at the weekly review, and the backup or a second associate can be scheduled for a fixed period. Requests are batched by type with tracking sheets so 200 tax-form requests become a process rather than 200 emails. The weekly report shows volume and turnaround so you can see the peak building before clients feel it. Next step ## Your desk, staffed. Wherever you are. Tell us what is overloaded.
