Financial advisors are overwhelmed by administrative work, fragmented systems, and rising expectations to adopt AI — without compromising compliance or client trust. Many teams experiment with AI tools, only to find they don't fit real workflows or create new risks. How can firms use AI to save time and scale impact without losing control?

Chirag Gandhi, a fintech entrepreneur and AI systems expert, explains how advisory firms can apply AI in practical, compliant ways by focusing on workflow-specific automation. He emphasizes starting with meetings as a data source, using real-time note structuring, and integrating deeply with existing systems rather than layering generic tools. Chirag also shares why safe design choices, human-in-the-loop oversight, and clarity on build-versus-buy decisions are critical to making AI actually work in regulated environments.

Business owners often have most of their wealth tied up in their company — but many don't know what their business is really worth or how it fits into their retirement, estate, and legacy plans. Advisors frequently treat the business like a plug-in number, which can lead to misguided planning and missed opportunities. How can advisors bring real clarity, reduce risk, and help business owners plan for a successful exit?

Jason Early, a wealthtech founder and longtime financial services leader, explains that effective advice starts with true business clarity: establishing the current value of the business and the value it needs to reach to support goals like retirement and philanthropy. He recommends guiding owners to identify and mitigate both equity risk and operational risk. Jason also emphasizes planning early, operating the business as if it's always ready to sell, and building a succession or exit plan since most businesses don't successfully transact.
