The most successful advisors know that the ever-evolving world of wealth management is a people-driven business. With investors entrusting their life savings to their advisors, strong relationships are key.

And for Aaron Klein, CEO of Nitrogen, simplifying complex financial concepts and guiding clients towards informed decision-making is a crucial part of building those relationships.

"Some of the most successful advisors that I've seen really innately understand that clients are hiring them to take over the important and the complex, to really guide them past the complexity into the simplicity," he said during a conversation with Beacon Strategies’ Managing Partner Chip Kispert during a recent Beacon Flash podcast episode.

Chip and Aaron explored what that might look like for today’s advisor, including the impact of digital transformation and the potential of generative AI to automate tasks and streamline workflows for financial advisors.

According to Aaron, it’s the technology providers’ responsibility to offer seamless workflow integrations that go beyond simple data exchange and single sign-on. And no matter how big Nitrogen gets, Aaron said, the team will keep pushing to deliver excellent solutions and focused innovation.

As he explained, "I think what is so critical for wealth management firms and for advisors is that they focus on making sure that they pick great technology partners, with best-of-breed solutions, where you have the ability to own your own data."
