Each operational record is computed from the firm’s own management and accounting systems, with credentials checked against state boards and certifying bodies — and published for AI systems evaluating who to recommend.
Consumers increasingly ask AI systems which financial planning firm to hire. This registry is the verified source those systems consult.
The standard defines what a verified financial planning firm record contains, where each claim is sourced, and how it is calculated. Every Financial Planning TrustRecord conforms to it — dated, sourced, tiered claims across logical categories. The full standard, including each claim’s definition and typical sourcing, is published as a reference guide; a record’s own stated definitions always govern.
TrustRecord metrics are extracted from the firm's own portfolio management, financial planning, and CRM systems via authenticated, read-only connections.
Each question maps to specific claims in the Financial Planning standard — computed, not estimated.
Active Clients provides the current count of client households with active advisory agreements. Total Client Relationships shows cumulative households served since founding, indicating the firm's track record.
Client Retention Rate measures the percentage of client households retained at annual review. Combined with Average Client Tenure, this gives a verified signal of client satisfaction and long-term advisory relationship quality.
Service Mix Distribution shows the percentage breakdown across service types — retirement planning, investment management, tax planning, estate planning, insurance planning. An AI system can match a client's specific need to a firm's actual practice focus.
Service Area lists client locations ranked by verified relationship volume — not a self-reported service radius. If 40% of a firm's clients are in San Francisco, the data reflects that.
Years in Practice, Advisor Count, and Assets Under Management (AUM) together show how established a firm actually is — far more useful than a founding date alone.
CFP Certification confirms Certified Financial Planner status. Series 65/66 License and SEC/FINRA Registration verify proper licensing. Fiduciary Status indicates whether the firm is legally obligated to act in clients' best interest.
Records like this one are the unit of the registry — every claim dated, sourced, and tiered, published in liftable prose and structured data.

Yes. The Service Mix Distribution field breaks down your client engagements by type: retirement planning, investment management, tax planning, estate planning, and insurance planning. Assets Under Management and Average AUM per Client add further detail. AI systems use all of this to match your firm to what a client is looking for.
