Verren
For financial advisors & RIAs

Your AI Chief of Staff.

AI that remembers every client detail, preps every meeting, and handles the follow-through — always with your approval.

On models we run ourselves — client data never touches a third-party AI provider

The problem
1,350 hrs

a year of admin on a 100-client book — two-thirds of a full-time hire

Kitces Research; GReminders

01

Your edge is the relationship. Your calendar disagrees.

Barely 4 hours of a 10-hour day are spent with clients. The rest — meeting prep, notes, follow-ups, chasing your own promises — is admin, done by the most expensive person in the firm.

02

The big teams hired people. You got a CRM that's always out of date.

Mega-teams run on associates and a chief of staff — someone whose whole job is knowing everything and handling everything. Most advisors got a database that's out of sync the moment a meeting ends: it remembers nothing you don't type and does nothing you don't click.

03

The cost isn't hours — it's growth.

Stale profiles and dropped follow-ups are how prospects go cold and good clients quietly drift. AI notetakers won't catch it — they only write things down. Nobody has given the independent advisor someone who remembers everything and handles everything.

Introducing Verren

I'm Verren — a chief of staff for your practice. I connect to your email and calendar, work alongside the CRM you already run, and start doing the work — nothing to migrate, nothing to bet the practice on.

I keep your book current so you don't have to. Every client profile updates itself — household changes, goals, concerns, commitments — and I tell you what matters before you'd otherwise find out.

I handle the follow-through — with your approval. Anything I'm about to do, I show you first, in full. Nothing runs until you say go.

You stay the advisor. I'll do everything else.

Features

What a great chief of staff does.

01

Profiles that keep themselves current

Email, meetings, texts, documents — captured automatically from every source. Verren reads it all and writes what matters to the profile: household changes, goals, concerns, commitments. You type nothing.

02

It knows your book — and tells you what matters

Every client profile stays current. Open anyone and you're fully briefed — and what you'd otherwise miss gets surfaced: a job change, an inheritance mention, an RMD coming due, a good client gone quiet.

03

It does the work — with your approval

Books the follow-up the moment one is promised. Drafts the email in your voice. Runs the outreach. Every action waits for your approval — then lands in a ledger your compliance officer can read.

Security

Your clients' data is not training data.

01

Your data, our models

Verren runs open-weight models on infrastructure we control. Client data is never sent to a third-party AI provider — and nothing you capture ever trains a model. Your book of business stays your book of business.

02

Built to the standards your firm answers to

Designed around the rules that govern advisory firms — safeguarding, AI governance, books and records. When your CCO asks where client data goes, you'll have the best answer in the industry. And your DDQ is answered by the founders who built the system.

03

Nothing moves without you. Everything leaves a trail.

Every action is proposed first, shown in full, and runs only after your approval. Every read, write, prompt, and output is logged with the model and timestamp — evidence you can hand to an examiner.
