Advizr has recently expanded its core functionality by leveraging its powerful cash flow engine to add new features and capabilities, while maintaining its elegant design interface to drive user adoption. As a result, Advizr has been experiencing rapid growth and strong demand from leading RIAs such as AdvicePeriod and Waldron Private Wealth in addition to enterprise organizations, such as The Leaders Group, which recently selected Advizr as its exclusive financial planning technology for its over 1,000 advisor force.
“The future of financial planning technology is Advizr,” said Blythe. “I look forward to further developing our industry relationships to bring much needed innovation to advisors and their organizations through the Advizr platform.”
By hiring strong talent with domain expertise, the company is reaffirming its commitment to the financial planning practice as it continues to focus on developing the best financial planning software in the industry.
