“There are not enough people coming into this industry, and this is not a geographic problem—it is industrywide,” FA Magazine reported last year. A way firms are responding is by using virtual assistants to give existing advisors more time to focus on new and existing clients.
Managers and advisors spend 16 hours a week on administrative tasks. Meanwhile, the ranks of executive admins have shrunk by 40 percent. Firms that lack the time, expertise, and resources needed to build an administrative layer leverage our managed virtual assistant service.
Where does 16 hours per week go? Scheduling meetings, document prep, email triage, travel and expense management, CRM data management, and more

Here at Prialto we’ve used our decades of collective business experience to develop a collection of best practices that drive all of our interactions. Here are just a few of the ways we’ll ensure you get exceptional service.
Advisors have contacts stored in a variety of places, including inboxes, calendars, CRMs, spreadsheets, etc. This makes it difficult to accurately keep track of people, network, send emails, and engage other outreach activities.
When you start working with Prialto, virtual assistants consolidate all contacts as you see fit. After that, they will ensure all your contact management systems are consistent and up to date.
When advisors are networking, meeting clients, and carrying out other responsibilities, they just reach out to virtual assistants using the communication channels they prefer—email, text, telephone, or chat.
Our assistants will use your messaging tools and respond to all requests within the hour, so your executives have easy access to support while they are on the go. Whenever they are not immediately available, your backup assistant will respond and ensure you get the support you need.
Whether prospecting for sales, preparing reports, or generating planning documents and forecasts, our virtual assistants are experts at collecting research data based on your requirements and criteria. Your virtual assistant will carefully curate the information advisors need to stay well-informed and support business initiatives. Information we gather for our current clients includes:
