Bringing on a new HNW client should take days. In most firms it takes weeks. An advisor emails for an ID. The client signs the engagement later. Compliance asks for a missing form. Someone forgets to set up payment. The advisor lies awake wondering if the client has cooled. Compliance is one missing form from an audit finding. By the time anyone notices, the prospect has walked.
Client Onboarding System
Two checklists, one workflow. The client moves through their part; the firm's part runs itself in lockstep — no email chase, no client left in limbo.

- Firms onboarding HNW clients across compliance, advisory, and operations roles
We sit with your business. We find the operational problem costing you the most. We build the system that fixes it.
A two-sided workflow. The client gets a single checklist. The firm sees the mirror queue. KYC, file setup, advisor assignment, welcome packs and kick-off prep all fire from the client's actions. If the client stalls, the system nudges by email, then WhatsApp, then escalates to the advisor.
Time-to-active dropped from fourteen days to under two. Advisors stopped sending follow-up emails. Compliance stopped chasing the same form across inboxes. Nothing sits in limbo — and when something does, the right person knows before the client notices.
One example of the capability. Zabble builds the version that matches your stages, your roles, your rules.

Each firm step starts the moment the matching client step finishes — no inbox in between.
If the client stalls, the system nudges. Then escalates.
Email nudge first. WhatsApp nudge if that's ignored. Advisor escalation after two ignored nudges — without anyone watching.
Every active onboarding, in one view.

Book a discovery callOne system. Every pillar pulling.
A completed client step triggers the matching firm step — KYC, file setup, advisor assignment, welcome pack, kick-off prep — without anyone in the loop.
Every nudge, every escalation, every state change is logged against the client record. The firm can show exactly when a step was triggered and by what.
Not the primary focus for this system.
Time-to-active, stuck-step rates and nudge-channel effectiveness feed one live pipeline view. The team sees where any new client is — and where any are at risk.
