AI Consulting for Financial Planning Practices
Bax Advisory helps Australian financial planning practices put AI to work — reducing adviser admin, freeing time for clients, and staying on the right side of compliance.
The Problem
Sitting across from a client, understanding where they are and where they want to go — that's the work advisers trained for. Everything else is a cost to that purpose.
Fee consents, signature chasing, review prep, booking. None of it needs an adviser's expertise — all of it lands on their plate.
DBFO reforms, consent windows, AFSL obligations. AI has to be built around your compliance environment — not bolted on and hoped for.
Off-the-shelf tools don't understand how an advice practice runs. Most practices have tried something that fizzled — or don't know where to start.
What We Do
Everything we build fits one of two jobs — and a good AI roadmap usually needs both.
Purpose-built workflow agents that handle the repetitive work between your advisers and their clients — quietly, reliably, with a compliance trail.
Dashboards and operations agents that give principals a live view of the business — pipeline, clients, tasks, numbers — and a team of AI hands to keep it moving.
How It Works
Take annual fee consent — mandatory, repetitive, and relentless. Here's how it runs when an agent owns the chase and your people keep the judgement calls.
The agent watches your planning software. When a client's fee consent falls due, it starts the clock — no spreadsheet, no memory required.
A consent request is prepared in your practice's voice, with the right documents attached — and queued for a human to approve before anything is sent.
Your client gets the request, then well-timed, well-mannered reminders until it's signed. No adviser awkwardness, no forgotten follow-ups.
The signed consent is filed, your records are updated, and the compliance trail is complete — every step logged, nothing loose.
Consent done, pack prepared, notes ready. The adviser's time goes where it belongs — across the table from the client.
Proof
We'd rather show you working systems than a slide deck.
A complete website redevelopment for a coaching business — scoped, designed, built and launched end-to-end, with a working lead-capture funnel.
Purpose-built for advice practices and scenario-tested across real situations — including the hard ones, like hardship conversations. Not for sale; built into engagements.
Operations dashboards, a daily-brief agent, and a sales pipeline agent — running a working business every day, and being productised as Bax OS.
