Advicent announces new partnership with Shareholders Service Group to provide innovative FinTech to advisors

Industry-leading technology from Advicent—NaviPlan® and Narrator® Clients portal—made available to RIAs that use the services of Shareholders Service Group


Milwaukee, WI, May 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advicent, the leading provider of financial planning technology, announced today a new partnership with Shareholders Service Group (SSG). Based in San Diego, SSG provides brokerage and custodial services exclusively for independent registered investment advisors and specializes in meeting their unique investment and technology needs.

In an effort to broaden the technology available to the financial advisors that conduct business with SSG, Dan Skiles, president of Shareholder Services Group, underwent a review process of the Advicent technology stack. During that review, the innovative enhancements and sheer scalability of NaviPlan—enough to empower advisors to serve every type of client and exceed their expectations—was two of the many reasons why Skiles agreed to the relationship. Through this new partnership, over 1,500 advisory firms that conduct business with SSG will have access to industry-leading technology from Advicent, including the NaviPlan financial planning software and Narrator Clients portal.

“We are focused on delivering personal service, open architecture technology and excellent value to independent RIAs, as well as introducing RIAs to solutions that ultimately help them surpass their clients’ expectations,” stated Dan Skiles, president at SSG. “Partnering with Advicent aligns perfectly with our mission and gives us the ability to offer more advanced financial planning tools to RIAs as we work toward helping clients achieve their financial goals.”

“SSG’s differentiated attention to providing advisors with the most advanced technology is well-aligned with our philosophy that holistic financial planning software enables professionals to better understand and impact their clients’ financial futures,” says Angela Pecoraro, CEO at Advicent. “We have the same vision of always striving for the financial success of our end users, and I am looking forward to partnering with SSG as they continue to deliver excellence to every client.”

This new partnership includes free access to both NaviPlan and Narrator Clients during an extended demonstration period, and then will be made available to all RIAs who conduct business with SSG at a substantial discount. Details of the extended trial period as well as webinars announcing the partnership and technology are available through Shareholders Service Group.
