Peak Financial Advisors is a full service advisory firm located in Denver, CO. Peak provides investment management and comprehensive
financial planning services for 100 families and has built a strong service
culture, refined over the last 18 years.
“Our firm was built on the belief that it takes a dedicated team of professionals to understand clients’ unique financial situations,” said Peak
Advisors President and Founder, Brian Sells, CPA, CFP®. As part of that
commitment, Sells places an emphasis on a high touch service model,
supplemented by technology to provide Peak’s clients with a holistic
view of their finances.
As wealth management technology has improved over the years, Peak
has been keen to deploy the latest in enhancing the service they provide to clients as well as drive operational efficiencies. This approach
led Peak to look for a client reporting and account aggregation solution
to meet the needs of their top clients.
“We have a very large client with significant assets held with us but also
held at other custodians. In addition, there are many privately held
businesses, trusts, real estate, alternative assets, and a family partnership, and his need was to be able to see them all in one place, so he
could keep track of them,” Sells explained. “However, when we went to
look for a technology to solve this for us, we did not find many options
and were forced to often manually drop statements into spreadsheets,
creating a large manual task that was absorbing a lot of our human capital resources.”

The first reporting and aggregation platform Sells tried had so many
errors and a lack of an advisor-first service model that it quickly became
obvious that they needed to continue looking.
“That was when we explored Wealth Access and immediately knew we
had found what we were looking for,” Sells said. “Wealth Access, with
its aggregation capabilities, estate planning and multi-generational
wealth views, was an ideal solution. Additionally, Wealth Access’ service

ability to aggregate accounts so that Sells and his advisors are able to
view and model retirement assets. “We have clients with 401(k)’s that
we don’t manage and with Wealth Access, those account allocations
are easy to see and allow us to do a better job of managing the clients’
portfolios,” Sells explains. “We don’t need client sign-ons or passwords
to do this, making it a much cleaner process that allows us to avoid
compliance issues and custody rules.”
Going forward, Peak will be showcasing Wealth Access in client review
meetings and are seeing strong adoption. “Wealth Access is the ideal
solution for us and our clients,” Sells said. “Particularly as we are strategically moving all of our technology into the cloud and facilitating
mobile friendly capabilities.”
