The company’s emphasis on evolving its platform and responding to client needs contributes to a perception of continuous product innovation rather than one-off releases.
Leadership underscores innovation through dedicated product and engineering teams, regular feature sprints, cross-functional collaboration, and a strong focus on leveraging automation and modern technology where it meaningfully improves outcomes. There is also an emphasis on working closely with customers to co-create solutions, ensuring innovation is grounded in real-world use cases and business value. Additional signals of innovation include ongoing product evolution, strong customer adoption of new features, and external recognition for technology leadership in the industry.
While some employees previously raised concerns around pacing or differentiation in certain areas, leadership has introduced more structured release cycles, increased focus on targeted innovation efforts, and continued investment in product development. These efforts have helped strengthen execution discipline, improve clarity around product direction, and reinforce confidence in Advisor360°'s innovation strategy.

Employees also note that improvements in tooling and infrastructure have made workflows more efficient, particularly in areas like development, testing, and deployment.
Leadership reinforces this by continuously investing in core platform upgrades, prioritizing scalable and secure infrastructure, and adopting modern tools that improve both productivity and system reliability.

While some employees previously raised concerns about fragmented systems or legacy tools in certain areas, leadership has introduced system upgrades, expanded adoption of modern frameworks, and continued investment in infrastructure improvements. These efforts have helped improve efficiency, reduce friction across teams, and strengthen overall confidence in the company’s technology environment.
Employees at Advisor360° say they see early adoption of new tools, fast-moving pilots of technologies such as AI, automation, and cloud-based systems, and clear support for learning and using new technologies in their day-to-day work. In many cases, pilots are tested with teams and then moved into broader rollout within relatively short timeframes, reflecting a willingness to experiment and iterate quickly.
Teams highlight rapid rollout of new platforms, ongoing upgrades to core systems, and opportunities to engage with emerging technologies as evidence that the company adapts quickly to industry change. Employees also note that there is strong support for experimentation, which helps new technologies move from testing to practical use more efficiently. This creates an environment where teams are generally encouraged to stay current and apply modern tools in their workflows, rather than relying on legacy systems or slow adoption cycles.
While some employees previously raised concerns about uneven adoption or rollout speed in certain areas, leadership has introduced more structured pilot programs, staged deployments, and expanded training initiatives. These efforts have helped improve confidence in new technology adoption, reduce friction during rollouts, and increase the use of modern tools such as AI and automation across the organization.
Advisor360°s technology culture is characterized by openness to experimentation, collaborative problem-solving, continuous learning, and a strong investment in modern tools and platforms.

There is a clear emphasis on building practical solutions and encouraging teams to explore better ways of working through technology.
Leadership reinforces this culture through ongoing investment in modern platforms and tools. Hackathons, innovation sessions, and cross-functional collaboration between technical and non-technical teams help foster idea-sharing and accelerate problem-solving.

Advisor360 Employee Perspectives
As AI accelerates and RIAs redefine the future of advice, Mat Mathews, Chief Product and Engineering Officer at Advisor360°, joins Shannon Rosic to discuss how firms of all sizes can harness data, automation, and integrated technology to eliminate silos, enhance client engagement, and unlock the next phase of advisor productivity through platforms like Parrot AI.
Advisor360°, which has, since its launch in 2019, been thought of largely as an all-in-one wealth management platform for enterprises, including large independent broker/dealers and RIAs, has announced an artificial intelligence-native platform rewrite allowing its deployment to teams or firms of any size.
This new AI-native Wealth Operating System, as Advisor360° is calling it, is meant to enable any advisory firm, from a solo practitioner to a large IBD, RIA or insurance broker/dealer to run on a single data foundation and power workflows, which in turn allows for easier integration of their preferred third-party applications, as well as a foundation for use of agentic AI.
Built on the company’s proprietary Unified Data Fabric, the platform combines CRM, onboarding, trading and model management, compliance and reporting into one integrated operating system.
“What we’ve built is an AI-native architecture,” said Jason Quinn, who serves as both chief financial officer and chief operating officer for Advisor360°.
“We made a decision to build a wealth operating system for our native applications, but also allow for it to accommodate other applications advisors are using,” he said.
The key to this, he said, was building out access to data when creating the firm’s orchestration and infrastructure layers.
“Because of that, we know where the data is and are able to label it and contextualize it so the AI can read it and execute actions,” said Quinn.
With native applications and AI capabilities powered by a single data foundation, firms can activate only the modules they need and scale over time, he said.
In January, Advisor360° acquired Boston-based Parrot AI, an automated notetaking, transcription and communications-generation platform, along with its 12-person team. Since then, the company has been integrating Parrot’s capabilities into its own platform (and rolled it out to its own advisors in April) and introduced it as a stand-alone product for other advisors.
In July, Advisor360° introduced additional enhancements to its AI virtual assistant, including the ability to go hands-free and use voice-enabled prompts. This enables advisors or staff to interact with the AI using natural language and create new contacts, assign tasks and perform other actions. Content responses for over 400 frequently asked questions have also been built into the AI.
In addition to powering the Commonwealth Financial Network (which was acquired by LPL Financial in March; the deal closed in August), Advisor360° is also used by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. and the national IBD and RIA GWN Securities. According to Advisor360°, its user base has grown to serve 2 million households with $1 trillion in assets.
Advisor360° will unveil its new, reimagined digital advisor experience through a national event series in several cities, including Boston, New York and Chicago, in 2026.
