Claude for financial advisors
Focus on financial advice, not admin
Claude works across the systems your advisory team runs on, so your time goes to clients.
“Advisors are navigating increasingly complex client needs while facing an accelerating pace of change across markets and technology. Our work with Anthropic is an important step in our broader effort to bring BlackRock’s portfolio intelligence and asset allocation expertise to more advisors to help them scale their business and build better portfolios. By making our institutional-quality portfolio analytics more accessible, we are helping more advisors leverage our portfolio intelligence so they can spend more time focused on client relationships.”
“Anthropic builds AI aligned with human values. Mercer Advisors builds family offices aligned with client interests. That shared obsession is core to both firms and anchors our partnership. Claude helps our teams to work seamlessly across clients' financial lives, while judgment and accountability stay with the advisor. That is how AI should work in any profession built on trust.”
“We are pleased to see Anthropic's continued investment in capabilities tailored to the unique needs of financial advisors. Our collaboration is rooted in a shared belief that technology should support advisors, not replace them, helping them navigate complexity and more efficiently serve clients while keeping human judgment and discretion at the forefront.”
“Vanguard is committed to helping advisors spend more time with clients and less time navigating complexity. Our integration with Claude expands access to Vanguard investment solutions, freeing up advisors' time to deliver more personalized service.”
“The future of advisor technology will be defined by how well firms can connect trusted data, powerful intelligence, and everyday workflows. Our collaboration with Anthropic reflects Schwab's commitment to helping registered investment advisors (RIAs) leverage innovation within the tools they already use, making it easier to serve clients, scale their practices, and grow with confidence.”

“AI is already part of the everyday workflow in the advice business. I don't want my CFPs spending hours every week laboring over CRM updates and task assignments. I want them talking to clients and engaged in the planning itself, because that's the part clients truly value. Claude for Financial Advisors is the first thing I've seen that sits on top of the whole stack and does that work across it, with the compliance controls we need built in.”

“This is the moment the industry stops adapting to AI and starts running on it. The way we see it, Anthropic is the engine, Dynasty is the plane, and the advisor is always the pilot. We build the plane so advisors can fly it, at scale, safely, without ever touching the machinery underneath. The result is, we are not giving advisors another dashboard, we are giving them their time back!”
“Every hour an advisor spends assembling information is an hour not spent with a client. Bringing Claude together with Tamarac and MoneyGuide means an advisor can understand certain elements of a household or a financial plan in the time it takes to ask.”
“As private markets become a larger part of client portfolios, advisors need easier ways to navigate complexity. iCapital combines a comprehensive marketplace with the data and infrastructure to manage specialized investments, and connecting that data through Claude helps turn investment intelligence into actionable insights.”
“AI is most effective for advisors when it works with the data and systems they already use. Connecting Claude with SS&C Black Diamond Wealth Solutions allows advisors to bring client and portfolio information into their workflows, reducing preparation time and ensuring they remain in Control.”
“Addepar has built the data and intelligence foundation that the world's leading investment professionals rely on to manage nearly $10 trillion in assets, with the governance, rigor and controls built natively into our platform. Addepar's collaboration with Anthropic brings our uniquely deep understanding of sophisticated investment portfolios into Claude, giving clients access to Addepar's industry-leading portfolio intelligence wherever they work.”
“Estate and tax are the layers of a client's plan that have to be exact. Advisors already trust Wealth.com as the system of record for the estate and tax positions their clients actually have. Inside Claude, that record can answer questions directly, with every figure tracing back to the source document that produced it.”
“Advisors do their best work with the full picture of a client in front of them. Connecting Salesforce to Claude lets the relationships firms have built on our platform travel with the advisor, within the permissions and controls they already have in place. Together with Anthropic we're giving firms more ways to put that trusted client data to work for the people they serve.”
“Clients never see the work behind a good meeting, but they feel it when it’s missing. Through our collaboration with Anthropic, Orion’s plugin for Claude for Financial Advisors brings a firm’s portfolio and CRM data into meeting prep, follow-up drafts and pipeline review, all within the firm’s existing permissions and controls. The technology handles more of the preparation in the background so the advisor can stay focused on the client and the conversation. Advisors walk in prepared, without spending hours pulling everything together.”

“Good financial advice depends on knowing what's going on in a client’s life, not just what's in their accounts,” said Mark Gilbert, CEO and Co-founder of Zocks. “The expanded collaboration between Claude and Zocks brings together data and personal client context that used to be fragmented across sources and systems. Now, every task and analysis through Claude is grounded in a more complete understanding of the client. It also gives enterprise firms greater flexibility to build AI workflows around how their advisors actually work.”

“MCPs are fundamentally changing how we build technology for advisors. With Claude and Zocks integrated directly into our stack, problems that once required months of configuration and dependence on outside partners can increasingly be solved by our own development team. That gives us the freedom to move faster, work with best-in-class partners, and build around the way advisors actually operate. Instead of asking advisors to adapt to technology, we can make the technology adapt to them.”
“Advisors have spent years building deep client context in Wealthbox. This lets them bring that context straight into Claude and put a frontier model to work on it, such as preparing for meetings, handling follow-up, drafting communications, while everything stays connected to the CRM their practice runs on.”
Client data stays safe, you stay in control.

Claude comes configured for an independent practice. The connectors, workflows, and approval steps a firm needs are ready on day one, with a guided path to help every advisor use it.

Log the follow-up before your next meeting
Claude turns the meeting into a CRM note, the follow-ups you committed to, and the opportunities it heard. You approve once, and Claude writes what you approved to your CRM.
A second read on client-facing language
Claude pre-checks client-facing drafts against the SEC Marketing Rule, flags what may need a closer look, and suggests rewording and disclosures. You get a working file for your CCO and a clean redraft.
Bring Claude into your workday. Connect it to the tools you already use every day.
Claude for Microsoft 365
Use Claude inside Excel to pull custodian and portfolio data into a review, update plan assumptions without breaking formulas, and build proposal or cash-flow models from scratch. Claude also supports your firm in PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook.
Claude for Google Workspace
Put Claude to work in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides so you can bring in account history, live numbers, and data directly from your sources. Access it through a side bar to get more done.
Claude Tag (beta)
Tag @Claude in any Slack thread and it picks up your team’s context. Ask it to pull details before a review, turn a thread into follow-up tasks, or flag what needs an advisor’s call in a channel. Everyone sees the answer, and admins decide which tools it can reach.
Plugins
Use the plugin to tailor Claude to advisor workflows like client onboarding, meeting prep and follow-up, portfolio reviews, proposals, and compliance reviews with built-in review steps and audit trails.
Products and features
Claude for Financial Advisors is a plugin (opens in new tab), or a bundle of skills, that you install from the plugin directory in Claude. It is not a new model or a separate app. The plugin is tuned for your advisory practice with connections to the systems you already use, ready-made workflows for meeting prep, follow-up, portfolio reviews, and compliance checks with a guided setup.
Claude for Financial Advisors connects (opens in new tab) to your custodian, portfolio, planning, and CRM systems: Addepar, BlackRock, Charles Schwab, Envestnet, iCapital, Orion, SS&C Black Diamond, Vanguard, Wealthbox, Wealth.com, and Zocks. It also works with Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Docusign, and Box.
Setting up Claude for Financial Advisors is easy to do, and you don’t need IT to help. Install the plugin (opens in new tab) in Claude and start with the prompt “Onboard me to Claude for Financial Advisors.” Claude’s guided setup then walks you through connecting your tools. You choose which ones to connect.
If your custodian or CRM isn’t on our list yet, let us know (opens in new tab). The directory of connectors keeps growing, and we’d love to hear which platforms matter most to your practice.
The plugin works on paid Claude plans (opens in new tab), but we recommend Enterprise for Registered Investment Advisor as it is the only plan that includes audit logs and compliance controls for a regulated firm.
Claude Cowork is now just Claude, so you don’t have to choose where to get work done. The update is rolling out to Pro and Max plans, with more to follow. If you’re on a different plan, you’ll be walked through the update in the product. We hope you enjoy the simpler experience. Read more about Claude Code (opens in new tab) and how Claude Cowork changed (opens in new tab).
Compliance and data privacy
Claude does not give investment advice. It pulls the information together and drafts the analysis for your review. The advice and the decision stay with you.
No. Claude doesn’t place trades or move money. Notes, emails, and CRM updates are drafted and held until you approve them.
Claude fits into your advisory workflows by having review steps built in and keeping a record of what was done. The compliance workflow pre-checks client-facing language against the SEC Marketing Rule and flags what your CCO should see. It’s a pre-check ahead of your review, not an approval.
Claude only reaches the systems you connect, with the access you already have in them. Each platform stays the system of record for its own data. On Team and Enterprise plans, we don't train our models (opens in new tab) on your data by default.
Streamline work across the systems you already use while protecting client data.
