Ongoing-Service-Fee & Review Management

Q: Do team members still need to be involved in the process?

Someone still reviews flagged variances and confirms review meetings, but routine calculation and scheduling steps are handled automatically.

Q: Will this work with the tools our practice already uses?

It connects with common CRM, spreadsheet, billing, and calendar tools that wealth practices typically already have in place.

Q: What happens to existing client and account data during setup?

Existing client records and account data stay in place and are read directly from the source systems, not re-entered.

Q: How does the automation handle exceptions or unusual client situations?

Unusual variances or edge cases are flagged for a person to review rather than being billed automatically.

Keep client fee arrangements and annual review cycles on track without manual calendar-watching or chasing.

About This Automation

Ongoing fee billing and review scheduling require pulling account balances, applying tiered fee schedules, cross-checking prior invoices, and coordinating review meetings by hand. Doing this repeatedly for every client invites calculation errors, delayed invoices, and missed review commitments.

The automated version calculates the correct fee directly from current account data, issues and logs the invoice, and checks whether a review is due before booking it with the client. The result is faster, more consistent billing and fewer missed client touchpoints.

Key features:

Pulls current account balances automatically from the source system

Applies tiered fee schedules and flags variances against prior billing periods

Generates and sends client invoices without manual data entry

Logs billing events back to the client record automatically

Detects when a scheduled review is due within the billing cycle

Books review meetings directly with the client when one is required

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Billing Cycle Date Reachedtrigger

The automation watches each client's billing schedule and fires when a cycle date arrives.

2. Pull Current AUM

Current account balance is retrieved for the fee calculation.

3. Calculate Tiered Fee

The automation applies the client's fee schedule tiers to the balance and computes the billable amount.

4. Flag Unusual Fee Variance?

The calculated fee is compared to the prior invoice to check for an unexpected swing.

5. Create And Send Invoice

The verified fee is created as an invoice and sent to the client automatically.

6. Log Billing Event

The invoice and fee amount are written back to the client's record.

7. Schedule Review If Due

If a review is due this cycle, the automation sends a link and books the confirmed slot on the calendar.
