Transformational Business Design

You bring the vision. We align the tech.

You've built a firm that works. As it grows, the technology behind it has to keep pace, and that's a specialist's job. It's the one we do, so your team can stay focused on your clients.

Where we start

The Experience Design Lab

Most tech advice starts with tools. We start with your business. Before we recommend anything, we take the time to understand how your business actually works and what your clients, your team, and your partners really need. What you get back is a clear plan your team can put into motion.

  • Business first, technology second. We understand how you actually operate before recommending anything.
  • Built to be implemented. Every deliverable is something your team can put to work right away.
  • Tied to ROI. Prioritized projects, phased investment, measurable returns.

How we work

A proprietary 8-step methodology.

You don't need another tool. You need a way to decide which ones are worth it and how to best use them. This is how we move a company from unintentionally stacked tech to a clear, phased roadmap.

Every step deepens our understanding of your business, so the roadmap we build fits how you work and where you're headed.

Confident decisions

You know which technology investments move the business forward, which to skip, and how to get more from what you already have.

Savings that matter

Time back for your team, happier clients, more referrals, and money kept in the firm.

A roadmap that holds up

A phased plan your team can execute with confidence and stand behind.

Selected work

Scaling firms through smarter technology, not larger teams.

Two wealth firms, two different starting points, and the clear direction each one walked away with.

Origin Wealth Portfolio Management · Canada

Designing experiences for a $5 billion future.

As Origin scaled toward a $5B assets-under-management target, the business was moving faster than its operations. Talented staff were spending time on work that could be automated, and capable software sat underused. We designed a roadmap to streamline processes and give investors confidence in the path to 2027.

  • Cut projected software spend by over $25M across five years
  • Identified and eliminated three redundant software applications
  • Enabled the executive team to prioritize resources and articulate a plan to investors

Vance Wealth RIA · California

Unlocking 5,000+ hours through smarter IT.

After a Salesforce Financial Services Cloud rollout that wasn't delivering, Vance's leadership stepped back to reassess their whole technology strategy. We spent our time understanding the firm first, then delivered a 60+ page IT strategy that answered the questions they had actually been asking.

  • Roadmap identifying 5,000+ hours in potential time savings
  • Four clearly phased initiatives for staged, measurable investment
  • Phase 1 alone: 1,032 recovered hours, ~$50K in value

In their words

What made this engagement different was how deeply the team worked to understand our business before talking about technology. The final roadmap didn’t just list tools. It reflected how we actually operate.

We’re dealing with people in a way the investing industry hasn’t before. TechTBD helped us provide clarity and freedom, and gave investors confidence in where we’re headed.

Who we are

The same reason your clients hire you.

Your clients don't come to you because they can't manage money. They come to you for focus, expertise, and a partner who has done it before. That's exactly why advisory teams bring us in for technology. We're a business design partner, and we stay in it with you, from the first conversation to the work that makes it real.

Business first

We start with how you actually operate, not the technology trend of the moment.

Straight & thorough

Sharp, direct, no BS. We hold a high standard and keep our promises.

Built to implement

Plans your team can put into motion and keep refining as you grow.

Focused on wealth

A flagship niche in small and medium wealth management firms and RIAs.

Leadership

Seasoned operators who do the work.

Our team has spent careers building, running, and transforming businesses. You work with us directly, from the first conversation to the last deliverable.
