Customer Challenges
Tax and wealth management firms face critical bottlenecks in client onboarding that impact efficiency, compliance, and client relationships. Manual processes create errors and delays throughout the workflow.
Manual Data Entry Creates Bottlenecks
Advisors manually transcribe client information from tax returns, IDs, and financial statements into account opening forms. This time-consuming process introduces typing errors, causing incomplete field submissions repeatedly.
Investment Knowledge Scattered Widely
Financial advisors must provide personalized recommendations with regulatory rationale, but critical knowledge exists in scattered policy documents. Manually searching resources slows advisory processes significantly.
Compliance Reviews Trigger Repeated NIGOs
Back-office teams manually review submissions for completeness and regulatory adherence, finding missing information or mismatched data in 35% of initial cases. Real-time validation gaps cause multiple NIGO rounds repeatedly.
Solutions
NeenOpal implemented a Microsoft Power Platform solution using AI Builder, Dataverse, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Copilot Studio to automate client onboarding. This solution eliminates manual data entry, offers real-time validation, and generates AI-driven investment advice.

User-Friendly Document Upload Interface
We developed two Power Apps portals. The first portal is for document submission. The second portal to review, edit, and confirm document extracted data, leading to investment advice generation powered by a Custom AI agent and Power Automate. All information is securely stored in Dataverse throughout the journey, ensuring data consistency and seamless integration.

Intelligent Client Onboarding Automation
We implemented AI Builder custom document extraction models to automate data capture from Identity documents and tax returns.

All extracted data is securely stored in Dataverse and seamlessly integrated with Power Automate workflows for validation and compliance checks.
