FCA-First
Compliance is the architectural foundation, not a check bolted on at the end. Consumer Duty and COBS obligations are designed in from day one.
About / Who we are
A small firm on purpose.
We give acquisitive advice groups one way to operate, so every firm you buy becomes part of one business and each deal costs less to integrate than the last. The people who scope the work are the people who do it.
Our mission
Design it. Build it. Run it. Move onto it.
We design your target operating model, build the parts that don't exist, run the operation on it, and move every firm you buy onto it. One data model, agreed once and used by all four, so you never pay a second supplier to rediscover your estate.
WealthTech Pros was founded by the former CTO of Novia Financial. Between our two founders there are more than 50 years of experience — 30 in wealth management technology and 20+ building technology for FTSE 100 firms. We are wealth veterans, and we are small on purpose: where scale is genuinely required, we run it and your people stay with clients.
Who signs the work

The people who scope the work are the people who do it.

What drives us
Three principles. No exceptions.
Reconciled, not assumed
Every record is reconciled three ways — expected, sent, stored — so discrepancies are caught in the pipeline, not reported by an adviser months later.
Outcome Ownership
Where scale is genuinely required, we run it end to end and your people stay with clients. Success is adoption, not a signed acceptance certificate.
