For Financial Advisors

Secure onboarding
for wealth management

Collect sensitive client documents securely, streamline onboarding with checklists, and maintain an exam-ready audit trail. All through a portal your clients will actually use.

The problem

Client onboarding involves some of the most sensitive documents your clients will ever share.

Sensitive docs via email

Clients email portfolio statements, tax returns, and trust documents to get started. These contain SSNs, account numbers, and net worth data. All in plaintext.

Scattered onboarding

New client onboarding requires collecting multiple documents across multiple emails. No single place to track what's been received and what's still outstanding.

No exam-ready audit trail

When the SEC or FINRA examiner asks how client documents were handled, you need more than "we used email." You need timestamps, access logs, and proof of secure handling.

Complex portals confuse clients

Heavyweight client portals require accounts, passwords, and apps. Your high-net-worth clients didn't build wealth by being patient with bad software.

How DeadVault solves it

Purpose-built for the document collection and delivery patterns financial advisors use daily.

Secure document collection

Send a single link. Clients upload portfolio statements, tax returns, and trust documents through an encrypted portal. No accounts, no apps, no friction.

Structured onboarding drops

Create drops with checklists of required documents. Clients see exactly what's needed. You see what's been received. All in one place.

Exam-ready compliance trail

Every document upload, download, and access is logged with timestamps, IPs, and user agents. Export the trail for SEC/FINRA examinations.

Dead-simple client experience

One link, no account, optional PIN. Your clients click, upload, done. The portal carries your firm's branding so it feels professional and trustworthy.
