INSIGHT

Archaic RIA Tech Creates Opportunity

  • Wealth management tech is surprisingly archaic, leaving opportunity to build modern planning for underserved segments.
  • Adam found few planners focused on cashflow and home affordability, so Domain built its own stack from scratch.
ADVICE

Use Flat Annual Fees For Henry Clients

  • Offer clear flat annual pricing for clients who don't fit AUM models.
  • Domain presents tiered flat fees ($3,200→$1,800; $4,800→$2,500; $7,800→$4,500) with defined services like tax filing and estate documents.
INSIGHT

Scale Growth Through Consumer Channels
