~30-50% Industry NIGO
Driven to near zero with Docupace

Docupace pre-populates all new account paperwork from existing data and validates every field before anything goes out. NIGOs go down. Billing cycles stay on schedule. The advisor stops re-entering the same client data across five different forms.

Any Advisor, Any Channel
Any advisor, any firm, one platform

Some advisors arrive from firms where they don’t have the right to their client data. Docupace has a compliant workflow built for that. Let Docupace show you a proven, compliant process, no matter the recruit source.

Scale Transitions, Not Headcount
Focus on recruiting, let Docupace handle the data

A fixed internal team can only move so many advisors at once. Docupace and the Concierge team take on the account data and paperwork, so your team stays focused on the advisor relationship. Recruit ten advisors or fifty, your team’s time goes to the people, not the paperwork.

Hands-On Concierge
Managed end to end

For firms that want to completely outsource transition execution, Docupace offers a hands-on concierge team that works directly with each advisor — data collection, re-papering, e-signatures. Your team manages the relationship. We manage the process. In 2025 alone, the team transitioned 500 advisors and 120,000 client accounts.

Client Data You Can Trust
Data reformatted for your firm, not rebuilt from scratch

The Transitions Assistance team takes the advisor’s existing data and reformats it for your firm’s systems. Forms come back pre-populated, ready for electronic or physical signature. The handoff is secure, and nothing gets rebuilt by hand.

What a 3-Month Transition Actually Costs Your Firm

Every week an advisor is without full platform access is a billing cycle neither they nor your firm recover. At $50M AUM, one week of delay is roughly $10,000 in fees*. Multiply that across 15+ transitions a year and the cost of a slow process becomes material quickly.

Docupace compresses timelines dramatically. 68% of accounts transition in 30 days or less, 86% in 60 days. The chart shows what that difference looks like for a typical 200-account book.
