National Back Office Heroes Day

April 27

What defines a back office hero? A back office hero is the person who ensures that the behind the scenes work is taken care of so others can focus on helping clients. They are the backbone to wealth management firms, and without them, they wouldn’t be able to do what they do. 

At Docupace, we know just how hard those working behind the scenes in the financial industry work to support financial advisors and wealth management providers. Join us as we celebrate the fifth annual National Back Office Heroes Day, presented by Docupace, on Monday, April 27, and announce the 2026 Back Office Heroes Award recipients.
