SignCEO offers 3 free envelopes every month or Unlimited sending at envelope packs (5 for $10 or 25 for $25).
Accelerate High-Net-Worth Onboarding with White-Glove Signing
High-net-worth clients expect sophisticated, effortless interactions when entrusting their wealth to your firm. Handing clients 40-page printed packets or asking them to print, sign, scan, and email confidential financial forms creates friction and reflects poorly on your firm’s technological capabilities.
SignCEO enables wealth managers to upload customized advisory agreements, risk tolerance questionnaires, and fee schedules. Add signature blocks, initial boxes on fiduciary disclosures, and date markers, then send via secure email. Clients review and execute documents on their laptop, tablet, or mobile phone without downloading software or registering accounts.
For RIA practices and wealth management teams managing frequent onboarding cycles, SignCEO Envelope Packs provides envelope volume for envelope packs (5 for $10 or 25 for $25) with no subscription required per advisor.
- Streamline investment advisory agreements, fee schedules, and privacy notices
- Clients review and execute onboarding paperwork on mobile phones or desktops with zero hassle
- Cryptographic SHA-256 document hashing ensures executed records are tamper-evident
- SignCEO Envelope Packs provides flat-rate pricing for high-volume wealth advisory practices
Fiduciary Defensibility, SEC Recordkeeping, and Clear Boundaries
Fiduciary standards require wealth managers to maintain complete, unalterable records of client agreements, fee disclosures, and risk profile authorizations. SignCEO appends an immutable audit certificate to every executed document, recording timestamps, IP addresses, and document SHA-256 hashes.
SignCEO is an electronic signature tool where wealth managers upload their own compliance-approved agreements. SignCEO does not provide investment advice, review advisory contracts for SEC compliance, or supply custodian-specific transfer forms.
- ESIGN and UETA compliant signatures accepted across wealth management agreements
- Court-admissible audit certificate captures forensic evidence of execution and client consent
- Store and organize completed client files within secure company workspaces
