# OpenClaw Skill: RIA Client Service and Compliance Coordinator

## Overview

This skill turns the OpenClaw agent into a client service and compliance
coordinator for an independent Registered Investment Advisor. It does not
replace the CSA or the CCO: it amplifies both. The skill owns the review prep,
the Form ADV annual amendment prep, the Reg BI documentation logging, and the
RMD watchlist so the CCO and CSA spend their time on the items that need real
judgment.

It is designed for independent RIAs with $200M to $5B AUM, hybrid RIAs with
brokerage business, and family offices. Wirehouse and IBD wirehouse-affiliated
advisors should look at the related skill for wealth advisors and adjust the
compliance framing.

## What this skill does

1. Annual and semi-annual review packet prep with house view
2. Form ADV annual amendment prep with 90-day filing window calendar
3. Reg BI Care Obligation documentation file for hybrid firms
4. Weekly RMD watchlist with SECURE 2.0 age rules
5. Household memory shared across CSA, advisor, and CCO
6. Conflicts of interest log management for Form ADV Part 2A

  - type: on_event
    event: portfolio.holdings_updated
    action: refresh_household_view
```

## Workflow: annual review prep

For each scheduled review the agent (one week prior):

1. Pulls performance from Orion or Black Diamond with the household's
   benchmark and YTD attribution
2. Loads the current plan from MoneyGuidePro, eMoney, or RightCapital and
   identifies deltas from last review
3. Pulls tax data from Holistiplan, surfacing tax-loss harvesting candidates
4. Compiles the allocation-drift summary against the IPS target
5. Stages the review packet for the lead advisor with talking-point notes
6. Routes to the advisor for review three business days before the meeting

The review packet ships with the firm's required disclosures included by
default. The disclosures live in the config block and are versioned.

## Workflow: Form ADV annual amendment prep

Form ADV Part 1A annual amendment is due within 90 days of fiscal year end.
The agent prepares the amendment file 60 days ahead of the filing window:

1. Pulls AUM, employee count, advisory client count from the books and records
2. Reviews the conflicts of interest log for new entries since last amendment
3. Pulls the BrokerCheck record for each employee with a Form U4 to flag any
   new disciplinary events
4. Stages Form ADV Part 2A brochure narrative updates for the CCO's review
5. Stages Form ADV Part 2B brochures for any new IARs

The skill never files anything to IARD. The CCO files. The skill prepares
the file so the CCO's filing time goes from 40 hours to under 10.

## Workflow: Reg BI documentation

For hybrid RIAs with brokerage business, the Reg BI Care Obligation requires
documentation of the basis for each recommendation. The agent maintains the
documentation file:

1. On each rollover recommendation: stages a Care Obligation doc capturing
   the alternatives considered (leave in plan, roll to current employer plan,
   roll to IRA, take distribution), the rationale, and the conflict disclosures
2. On each product transition: stages a doc capturing the source product,
   the recommended product, the cost comparison, the suitability rationale
3. On each new account: stages a Best Interest doc capturing the customer's
   stated profile and the account-type recommendation

The CCO reviews the staged docs weekly. The skill does not adjudicate whether
the recommendation meets the Care Obligation; it captures the file the CCO
needs to make that determination.

## Workflow: RMD watchlist

The agent maintains a weekly watchlist of clients turning 73, 74, or 75+:

- Calculated minimum based on prior-year December 31 balance and the IRS
  Uniform Lifetime Table (or Joint Life Table for spousal beneficiary >10
  years younger)
- SECURE 2.0 RMD age changes (age 73 for born 1951-1959, age 75 for born
  1960+)
- First-RMD-year clients get the April 1 of next year deadline option flagged
- Drafted client email with the calculated minimum, the distribution schedule
  options, and the QCD redirect option for over-70.5 clients

## Compliance notes

The skill stages compliance-relevant documentation for the CCO's review. It
does not file with the SEC or with state regulators. It does not adjudicate
whether a recommendation meets the Care Obligation, whether a disclosure is
adequate, or whether the firm needs to file an other-than-annual amendment.

Form ADV filing is the CCO's responsibility. The skill prepares the file.

The conflicts of interest log structure follows SEC guidance but should be
reviewed with outside compliance counsel before production rollout. State-
specific advisor laws (California, Texas, New York) may impose additional
documentation requirements that the firm's CCO should layer on top of the
config.

For hybrid firms with brokerage business, the Reg BI Care Obligation
documentation is generated against the firm's own framework. The framework
should be reviewed with outside counsel.

## Configuration

```yaml

  firm_name: "Your RIA"
  voice: "trusted-fiduciary"

It's late January. Run the Form ADV annual amendment prep and tell me what needs my eyes.

Agent

Form ADV annual amendment prep complete. Filing window opens in 60 days. Key changes flagged: AUM ticked from $612M to $738M (no new ADV item 5 trigger band crossed, but disclose in Item 5.D), employee count up from 11 to 14 (Form ADV Part 1A Item 5.A update), 2 new conflicts of interest entered the conflicts log in 2026 (a custody-related arrangement with Schwab Institutional, a marketing co-op with an outside CPA firm), no new disciplinary events flagged across employee FINRA records (verified against last quarter's BrokerCheck pull). Drafted the Form ADV Part 2A narrative updates for your review; Part 2B brochures for the new advisors are next. Holistiplan and MoneyGuidePro touch points are unchanged in the disclosure language. Routed to the CCO.

Common questions

Will this work without OpenClaw Heartbeat or Memory?

+

Heartbeat and Memory are part of OpenClaw core. The skill needs both. The compliance documentation file specifically requires Memory because the Reg BI Care Obligation log must persist across years for examiner review.

Does this skill make compliance determinations?

+

No. The skill stages documentation for the CCO and routes the regulator-facing materials for the CCO's signature. It does not adjudicate whether a recommendation meets the Care Obligation, whether a conflict requires disclosure under the Conflicts of Interest Obligation, or whether the firm needs to file an other-than-annual amendment. Those decisions stay with the CCO and outside compliance counsel.

Which CRMs and portfolio accounting systems does it integrate with?

+

CRM: Redtail, Wealthbox, Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, Junxure. Portfolio accounting: Orion, Black Diamond, Tamarac, Addepar, Advyzon. Planning: MoneyGuidePro, eMoney, RightCapital, Holistiplan for tax. The integration block in the SKILL.md walks through read-only setup for each.

How does the Reg BI documentation work for hybrid RIAs?

+

For firms with brokerage and advisory business, the skill maintains a separate Reg BI Care Obligation log for brokerage recommendations and a fiduciary-duty log for advisory recommendations. The CCO defines the trigger events (rollover, product change, new account, fee structure change) and the skill captures the rationale, the alternatives considered, and the conflict disclosures. This is documentation, not legal advice; the CCO and outside counsel set the framework.

Does this skill handle client review prep for HNW households?

+

Yes. The review prep workflow pulls performance from Orion or Black Diamond, tax data from Holistiplan, plan deltas from MoneyGuidePro, and stages a review packet for the advisor. For more involved HNW workflows like alternative investment K-1 tracking and charitable planning, see the related skill openclaw-wealth-advisors.

What does the skill cost to run on top of OpenClaw?

+

Token cost depends on household count and review depth. A 4-advisor RIA with 250 households and $900M AUM spends in the $70-$160 range monthly using OpenClaw's default model selection. The skill batches review prep and compliance documentation to minimize per-event inference.

Can I modify this skill?

+

Yes. MIT licensed. Edit the templates, the cadences, the compliance trigger list, the disclosure language. Most firms fork the SKILL.md within the first month to match firm-specific compliance language and outside counsel preferences.

Does this replace my CCO or client service associate?

+

No. The CCO role is judgment-heavy and firm-specific; the CSA is the human voice every client expects. The skill takes the ADV prep grunt work, the Reg BI documentation logging, the RMD calc verification, and the review packet assembly off their plates so they spend their day on the parts that need human judgment.

How is this different from compliance tech like RIA in a Box or COMPLY?

+

RIA in a Box, COMPLY (the merged ITEGRIA / RIA Compliance Consultants entity), and MyComplianceOffice are excellent specialized compliance tools. The OpenClaw skill is an agent runtime that reads from your CRM, accounting, planning, and tax tools and produces the documentation those compliance tools and outside counsel expect to see. Many firms keep RIA in a Box and add this skill on top for cross-tool orchestration.

Can OpenClaw Consult build a customized version for my firm?

+

Yes. The free SKILL.md is the starting point. If you want it wired into your specific Orion or Black Diamond instance, your firm's investment committee templates, your CCO workflow, and your house brand voice, we run a 14-day fixed-price build at openclawconsult.com/hire.
