The challenge

FINVIA advisors needed to move from a first client conversation to a structured investment proposal, but the process was spread across teams, manual steps, and different tools.

The workflow included portfolio analysis, strategic asset allocation, proposal creation, and client-ready reporting. These steps were connected in practice, but not in the product experience.

The challenge was to create a clearer workflow that could support financial complexity, reduce manual coordination, and help advisors guide clients through important decisions during and after meetings.

What I designed

I designed the strategic asset allocation and proposal creation experience, including workflow structure, information architecture, user flows, key screens, prototypes, scenario comparison patterns, proposal summaries, and the report export flow.

The financial logic and requirements came from the investment team and regulatory needs. My role was to turn those requirements into a usable advisor workflow that could support real client conversations.

Key product decisions

Turned a proposal tool into a centralized workflow

The original brief focused on investment proposal creation. During discovery, I identified that proposal creation was only one part of a larger advisor workflow. Advisors first needed to understand the client’s current portfolio, create strategic asset allocation scenarios, compare options, and then create a proposal.

Instead of designing a standalone proposal tool, I helped shape Wealth Navigator into one connected workflow.

Structured the flow around required decisions

The workflow was designed around a clear sequence: portfolio analysis when relevant, strategic asset allocation, proposal creation, and report export. This helped advisors move through the process without skipping important steps.

Made scenario comparison easier

Clients could be undecided between different allocation strategies, so the product needed to support comparison clearly. I designed comparison patterns that worked inside the product and in exported reports, helping clients review options after the meeting.

Reduced overload in proposal summaries

An early list-based summary made the selected products feel too dense. After testing with advisors, I changed the structure into a layered view: asset-level summary first, then deeper product-level detail. This made the proposal easier to explain without removing important financial information.

Adapted the report flow around technical constraints

The first idea was to export editable PowerPoint reports so advisors could add personalized content. After discussing feasibility with engineering, PDF export became the more realistic option. To preserve flexibility, I added choices in the report creation flow so advisors could include selected marketing content before export.

How I worked

I worked closely with product, engineering, investment stakeholders, and leadership.

The process included discovery, workflow mapping, prototypes, advisor feedback, and feasibility discussions with engineering.

I also presented the broader workflow direction to leadership and product stakeholders, explaining why a centralized advisor workflow would create more value than a standalone proposal tool.

Outcome

Wealth Navigator helped centralize a previously fragmented advisor workflow and reduced scattered coordination across teams. It supported live advisor-client meetings, made allocation scenarios easier to compare, and created client-ready reports for follow-up decisions.
