Make Intelligent Office
earn its licence fee

Most small advice firms are paying for iO and using a fraction of it. We audit what is actually in there, fix the data, build the workflows, and keep it accurate — so the system works for the practice instead of the other way round.

The honest bit

What an iO audit
usually turns up

These are the findings that recur across almost every instance we look at. None of them are the firm's fault — they accumulate quietly over years of ordinary busy practice.

Unreconciled adviser charges

Fees expected against fees actually received, never reconciled line by line against platform statements. Shortfalls sit unnoticed because nothing surfaces them.

Orphan and duplicate records

The same client twice, plans attached to nobody, records from a migration that never got tidied. Every report built on top of them is quietly wrong.

Workflows that nobody uses

iO ships with workflow capability most firms never configure, so new business and reviews get tracked in someone's head, a spreadsheet, or an inbox.

Review dates that drift

Annual reviews tracked manually slip. If an ongoing fee is charged, the ability to evidence what was delivered matters — and that starts with the dates being right.

Reporting nobody trusts

FUM and recurring revenue figures that disagree with the platform, so the principal stops using the dashboard and goes back to a spreadsheet.

Documents in the wrong place

Client files reconstructable only by hunting through email. Fine until somebody asks for a complete file at short notice.

What we do

Intelligent Office,
properly run

Take any of these as a one-off project, or combine them into ongoing support.

🔍

iO Health Check

A full audit of your instance, ending in a written findings document with a prioritised list of what to fix and what it would take.

  • Data quality, duplicates and orphan records
  • Fee and adviser-charge reconciliation gaps
  • Workflow and process review
  • User accounts and access hygiene
  • Written findings and priority order
🧹

Data cleanup & migration

Fixing what the audit finds — and getting data in cleanly if you are moving to iO from another system.

  • De-duplication and record merging
  • Orphan plan reattachment
  • Migration from other back-office systems
  • Bulk data correction
  • Ongoing data hygiene
⚙️

Workflow build

Configuring iO so the system tracks the work, rather than the work being tracked in somebody's memory.

  • New business and submission workflows
  • Annual review cycles
  • Decumulation and vulnerable client flows
  • Complaints handling
  • Document templates and merge fields
💷

Fee reconciliation

Initial, ongoing and ad-hoc fees tracked by client and adviser, checked against what the platforms actually paid.

  • Fee posting and allocation
  • Reconciliation against platform statements
  • Commission and adviser-charge tracking
  • Shortfall identification and chasing
  • Handoff to your bookkeeping
📊

MI & dashboards

Reporting you can actually rely on, because the data underneath it has been checked.

  • FUM and recurring revenue reporting
  • Pipeline and new business tracking
  • Review compliance reporting
  • FE Fundinfo Analytics integration
  • Scheduled reports for the principal
🔗

Integrations & setup

Connecting iO to the rest of the stack, and configuring it properly in the first place.

FAQ

Common questions

A fixed-fee audit of your Intelligent Office instance covering data quality, duplicate and orphan records, fee reconciliation gaps, workflow use and reporting. You get a written findings document with a prioritised list of what to fix — yours to keep whether or not you engage us further.

We work inside your own iO instance under a named user account that you create and control, with multi-factor authentication. Your data never leaves your system. We sign an NDA and a data processing agreement before we start, and access is revoked the moment you say so.

No, and deliberately so. We are not a reseller, we take no commission from Intelliflo, and we have no incentive to recommend modules or upgrades you do not need. If the answer is that your current setup is fine, that is what we will tell you.

A health check starts at £500 as a fixed-fee project. Ongoing support runs from £500 to £3,500+ per month depending on scope — see the packages on our main services page. Everything is scoped and priced in writing before work begins, and prices exclude VAT.

No. We provide administrative, bookkeeping and IT support only. We do not give financial advice, do not provide paraplanning or compliance consultancy, and do not hold client money, so FCA authorisation is not required for what we do. Advisory output always remains with the regulated adviser.

No. Intelligent Office work is done remotely, so we support advice firms across the UK. Our managed IT service is more London and South East focused, because that one occasionally needs someone on site.
