Advisory Fee Billing Check Agent

Send a billing file whose every fee matches the agreement and can be explained

Advisory Fee Billing Check Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A client sees a fee that does not match the agreement and the firm refunds $1,200 after a week of digging. This agent recomputes the fee for every account from custodian balances and the fee schedule. It compares the result with the billing file and flags differences. It explains each difference by looking at causes: cash flows during the period, household groupings and the breakpoints in the schedule. For differences that stay unexplained, it asks operations to confirm the account setup and reruns. After fixes, it recomputes again. It produces a billing exception list with the amounts and reasons. The advisor approves the billing file before it goes to the custodian. Edge case: a mid-quarter deposit is prorated according to the agreement.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It flags any account where its fee differs from the billing file by more than $5 or 1 percent and checks causes in a set order.

  • Flag differences above $5 or 1 percent
  • Prorate flows according to the agreement
  • Group households as set in the account records
  • Use the breakpoint schedule in the agreement

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Difference tolerance (default $5 or 1 percent)
  • Billing frequency (default quarterly)
  • Proration method (default per agreement)
  • Exception report format (default account list with reasons)

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Advisor approves the final billing file

Hard limits

  • Never send billing without approval
  • Never change account setups on its own
  • Keep client fee data restricted

It stops when

  • Done: Billing file approved and sent
  • Stop: Agreement is missing for an account, so hold that account for the advisor
