The planning file gap

Custodian onboarding is not your planning file

Tax returns, insurance policies, and estate docs still arrive in email — while exams expect a complete household record.

Functional

Investment accounts open in the custodian portal, but tax returns, insurance policies, pension statements, and estate docs still arrive via email and Dropbox. Nothing shows whether the household file is complete before you plan.

Emotional

Regulatory reviews commonly expect files that show what happened, when, and why — not checkbox-only CRM fields. Chasing the same Notice of Assessment twice erodes client trust.

Financial

Community reports cite 5–10 hours of data entry and weeks of lag per household. Every follow-up email is time you are not reviewing portfolios or prospecting.

How it works

How do financial planners collect client documents?

Five steps: pick a checklist, open a household file, collect via the my-id.ca portal, track gaps with approve/reject, and export a package for your CRM.

01

Pick a template

Build a KYC & financial-planning intake checklist — clone your firm's Word checklist, or start from the free lead-magnet PDF; seeded Ontario templates in-app coming soon.

02

Open a household file

Attach the checklist to the client record your team manages in Hivi-X.

03

Share & collect

Share the checklist to the client; they upload ID, source-of-funds docs, and planning files via a secure guest link (no account needed — they verify email with a one-time code) or the my-id.ca portal. Your team can add files as they arrive.

04

Track the gaps

See completed vs outstanding items; approve, reject, or request replacement; add voice/meeting summaries to the file.

05

Export the package

Generate a PDF index for your CRM folder, compliance review, or custodian handoff.

Use cases

One tool, every household file

From new KYC onboarding to annual SN 31-368 refreshes.

Primary

New household KYC onboarding

Government photo ID, address verification, employment/income, net-worth worksheet, investment knowledge, objectives, risk tolerance and capacity, and Trusted Contact Person form — tracked in one household file.

Financial plan engagement

T1 generals, Notices of Assessment, pay stubs, pension statements, group benefits, insurance policies, wills/POAs, and corporate financials for business owners.

Accounts

Pre-custodian account opening

ID, void cheque/EFT, beneficiary designations, entity/trust documents, authorized trader resolutions, and source-of-funds for non-standard deposits.

KYC refresh

Annual KYC refresh (SN 31-368)

Principal

Principal / compliance oversight

Standardized intake across associates; exportable file index for internal file review before regulatory exams.

Features

The intake layer your CRM does not cover

Checklist-driven document collection alongside Wealthbox, Redtail, and your custodian — not a replacement.

Reusable intake checklists

Household client file

Keep documents, checklists, and notes scoped to each client — not scattered across email threads.

Missing-item tracking

Item-level review

Approve or reject uploads; clients resubmit rejected items without a new email chain.

Voice notes + AI summary

Record meeting recaps; self-hosted AI summarizes notes against checklist lines you define.

Secure Canadian hosting

AES-256-GCM at rest, TLS in transit; Canadian-hosted storage.

Co-agent collaboration

Exportable PDF package

Download an organized file index for Wealthbox/Redtail upload or internal compliance review.

Ontario-specific

Built for how Ontario advisors actually collect files

Custodian portals handle trading accounts; Hivi-X handles the holistic intake your planning practice still chases manually — KYC evidence, planning documents, and organized exports for your review.

KYC, FSRA & OSC/CIRO documentation

What examiners look for beyond the custodian packet

Independent portfolio managers and planning-centric boutiques must maintain client files that demonstrate know-your-client information, suitability rationale, and — under Joint CSA/CIRO Staff Notice 31-368 — evidence of meaningful interaction when KYC is updated. FSRA separately supervises use of Financial Planner and Financial Advisor titles in Ontario.

Hivi-X helps your team collect, review, and export planning-file documents in one encrypted, Canadian-hosted intake file. It is not a KYC engine, AML verifier, or CRM replacement.

General information only — not legal, compliance, or investment advice. Hivi-X is document-collection software, not a registrant, KYC verifier, or AML screening service. KYC, suitability, and AML obligations remain with your firm. Consult qualified compliance counsel for your registration category.

  • Checklist-aligned KYC document packages (ID, financial circumstances, objectives, risk tolerance and capacity)
  • Timestamped client submissions and advisor review actions on the firm-controlled record
  • Voice summaries and file notes tied to checklist lines on the household file
  • Entity/trust beneficial ownership and source-of-funds document collection (no AML database checks)
  • Exportable package for Wealthbox, Redtail, Salesforce, or internal compliance folders
Security & trust

Canadian hosting, self-hosted AI

Your clients' documents are sensitive. Hivi-X stores them on servers hosted in Canada, encrypts sensitive fields at rest with AES-256-GCM, secures every connection with TLS, and runs AI on infrastructure Hivi-X operates — client data is never sent to OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, or other third-party AI providers. Requests are consent-first, with clear export and deletion.

FAQ

Advisor questions, answered

Typical KYC packages include government photo ID, address verification, employment or income evidence, investment objectives and risk tolerance documentation, net-worth summary, and Trusted Contact Person forms where applicable. Portfolio managers and planning boutiques also collect tax returns, insurance policies, and estate documents in the planning file — separate from custodian account-opening forms. Hivi-X provides reusable checklists so your team tracks each item instead of scrolling email threads.

Avoid unencrypted email for sensitive files. Hivi-X provides an encrypted, Canadian-hosted client portal on my-id.ca and checklist tracking so ID, tax returns, and planning documents stay in one firm-controlled household file with item-level review.

No. Hivi-X is a document-collection and household-file organization layer. It complements Wealthbox, Redtail, and Salesforce — you export organized intake packages into the CRM you already use for contacts, tasks, and portfolio reporting.

No. Custodian portals handle investment account forms and trading setup. Hivi-X handles the holistic planning-file intake your practice still chases manually — tax returns, insurance policies, estate records, and KYC evidence — before or alongside custodian onboarding.

Hivi-X helps you collect and organize documents and meeting evidence that support meaningful KYC updates — checklist lines, timestamped uploads, and voice summaries on the client file. It does not score suitability or replace your compliance engine; consult your compliance consultant for SN 31-368 obligations.

CIRO dealers typically use dealer compliance systems tied to order entry and supervision. OSC-registered portfolio managers maintain their own client files showing know-your-client information, suitability rationale, and advice basis. Both need defensible documentation, but the tools and exam focus differ. Hivi-X targets independent PM and planning boutiques — not dealer reps who must use dealer platforms.

Dealers subject to FINTRAC rules collect client identification and source-of-funds or source-of-wealth documentation for higher-risk transactions and entity clients. Hivi-X collects the documents you request on a checklist — bank statements, sale agreements, gift letters — but does not run PEP or sanctions database checks.

Beyond custodian account forms, a planning-centric file often includes tax returns and Notices of Assessment, insurance policies, pension statements, wills and POAs as disclosed, risk and objectives questionnaires, meeting notes, and referral-arrangement records. Requirements vary by registration category and firm policy.

No account is required. When you share a checklist, Hivi-X emails a secure link. Clients can upload via a secure guest link — they verify email with a one-time code and access a branded temporary cabinet — or sign in to the free my-id.ca portal.

On servers hosted in Canada. AI processing uses infrastructure Hivi-X operates — client data is not sent to OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, or other third-party AI providers. Sensitive fields use AES-256-GCM at rest; traffic uses TLS.

$39 CAD/month (Starter), $59/month (Professional), or $99/month (Enterprise). All plans include a 14-day free trial, reusable checklists, Canadian hosting, and self-hosted AI.

Dealer reps who must use dealer compliance and order-management systems are not the primary fit. Hivi-X is built for OSC portfolio managers, exempt market dealers, and planning-centric boutiques that assemble household intake files outside the custodian portal.
