PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Our customer needed to transform a fragmented data landscape into a unified, automated intelligence platform. The firm had already invested in a Snowflake data lake centralizing five core systems, but the last mile of reporting and synchronization remained manual, siloed, and error prone. We designed and delivered an end to end automation programme that replaced four high impact manual workflows with scheduled, on demand data pipelines, freeing manager time and creating a single source of truth across all client facing operations.

CUSTOMER BACKGROUND

The customer is an independent US based financial advisory firm serving high net worth individuals and institutional clients. The firm relies on a suite of specialized platforms including Black Diamond, QuickBooks, Practifi, LPL, and 15Five to manage portfolios, accounting, CRM, broker dealer relationships, and HR data. While these systems already fed a centralized Snowflake data lake, the downstream reporting layer was still operated by hand.

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Despite a significant investment in modern data infrastructure, four critical operational bottlenecks remained in place. Managers were logging into four separate QuickBooks entities to reconcile financial data manually, building quarterly reports through a fragile chain of Excel files with hardcoded values and cross file links, manually linking new client accounts between the broker dealer and the portfolio management system, and spending hours assembling client meeting briefs by jumping between source systems. Each of these workflows introduced reconciliation errors, audit risk, data inconsistency, and a hard ceiling on how many high value client interactions a manager could deliver per week.

The firm needed a partner who could close the gap between its existing data lake and the analytics, reporting, and synchronization workflows that drive day to day operations, without ripping out the platforms its team already relied on.

TECHNOLOGY STACK

AWS (Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, S3, DynamoDB, Secrets Manager, SNS), Snowflake (External Tables, Streams, Tasks, Reporting Views), dbt for transformation modelling, and Power BI for client facing dashboards.

VALUE DELIVERED

We delivered a cloud native, event driven automation platform that systematically replaced four manual workflows with reliable, scheduled pipelines. QuickBooks reporting was unified into a single authoritative dataset, eliminating four separate logins and manual reconciliation. The fragile Excel based quarterly report was first auto populated from Snowflake, then fully migrated to a dynamic, version controlled BI report with full audit traceability. The synchronization gap between the broker dealer and the portfolio management system was closed by an automated workflow that identifies new accounts and creates or links the corresponding client relationship under business defined matching rules. A new Client 360 dashboard, built in Power BI on top of the Snowflake reporting layer, now gives managers an instant, filterable view of any client's complete financial position across every system.

The result is a measurable reclaim of manager time, a sharp reduction in reconciliation and data entry errors, and a single source of truth that makes financial reporting fully auditable and ready to scale. By automating the last mile, the firm unlocked the full return on its prior investment in Snowflake without spending on new foundational technology.

With managers freed from data wrangling and equipped with comprehensive, real time client intelligence, the firm is now positioned to deliver deeper, more proactive advisory service. In the high net worth segment, that operational edge translates directly into competitive differentiation, stronger client retention, and increased capacity for growth.
