Looking for a Compliance Pro
Hey folks, I thought this may be a good place to ask for an expert opinion. I'm building an open platform for browsing ADV data to replace the IAPD and am having a hard time sorting out why my custodian numbers differ so wildly from other independent reports. They don't show their work, but I'm happy showing mine in pursuit of truth. Does anybody here work in compliance and understand the nuances of the regulatory filings?

@Trevor Hicks Specifically I was referring to this: https://advizorpro.com/post/ria-custodian-trends-report-2025 My tool, RIA Pulse is using ADV Schedule D 5k3 data to provide custodian data. Advizorpro's report cites ADV filings as their source but their counts are far higher than what I see in those 5k3 filings for the same period. My first thought was maybe they're trying to extrapolate the number of individual accounts by looking at each firm's total aum and total number of accounts relative to the amount reported for each custodian in the 5k3 but it's unclear to me.

@Emily Rassam We surface data from the SEC. The advisor count comes from the Form ADV filing field for "Staff Performing Advisory Functions" Perhaps you could help me better understand this distinction between what is filed with the SEC and what the firm considers an advisor. In any case, @Joe Moss - your suggested feature of firms being able to "claim" their profile and provide supplemental/clarifying information is certainly moving up the priority list :)

Thanks @Emily Rassam, this is illuminating. We will definitely be adding a feature to allow advice firms to verify ownership and provide a supplement. @Joe Moss I agree. Scoping!

Hey AdvisorTechBook crew! I'm Jayce. I'm on the tech provider side of things having worked an RIA-centric CRM for years. I do a lot of automation and technology consulting and recently launched a free tool https://riapulse.com which is meant to provide the RIA ecosystem a free, open alternative to more expensive, walled-off research providers. @Jack Csenge perhaps we should compare notes! Sounds like you're building a cool tool. I'll be keeping an eye out for the podcast.

@Joe Moss thanks. I'm partial to the performance metric page. Perhaps I should a more compact snapshot view for easier public linking?
