What areas of wealth management can the system handle?

Our software provides unique solutions customised to fit the demands of the wealth management professionals. Find out more about how the system meets the needs of these specific markets:

What modules does the system have?

Our software offers functionality for: Client Accounting; Client & Investment Management; Investment Reporting; Company Secretary; Time & Billing; Fund Management; Compliance & Risk Assessment; Private Banking; Customer Relationship Management; Probate Case Management; and Management Reporting.

But I need some modules and not others – how will that work for me?

Depending on what your demands are we can tailor the system during implementation so it offers only the functionality you need.

How much does it cost?

You want to know you’re getting a fair price and this is why we offer a transparent pricing structure, but due to the nature of our system – having the potential to be unique to every client – we find it works better to quote you for exactly what you want instead of giving you an ‘out-of-the-box’ price online. Once we know what you want we will offer you an exact price.

Installation

How quickly can I get the software installed?

Depending on the complexity of the installation, you could have Troika Accounting and WealthWorks+ up and running in a couple of weeks. We want to make sure you get the benefits of using our software as quickly as possible once you’ve decided to join us.

How long does the implementation take?

Your business won’t suffer major disruptions during the implementation which normally only takes a day or two depending on the size of the company and how much data you need to be migrated into the database. Once you have made the choice to use our software, our dedicated Technologies Team will work with you to arrange the when and where and on what platform.

What happens before installation?

Everyone works differently and this is true of what you want from Troika Accounting or WealthWorks+. We will meet with you pre-installation to discuss all your requirements – one of which being your reporting needs – do you have any complex accounting needs, such as: full accounts, schedules, reconciliations and internal reports? Although the standard range of reports in the system is considerable, we want to make sure you have exactly what you want, and if not, we can either make the changes for you or train you so you can make the changes yourself.

Do you offer any installation support?

Client liaison is very important to us and we actively monitor all support activity – providing information and assistance to ensure the smooth running of your software installation. Even after the initial set-up we aim to visit you every six months to ensure everything is running just how you hoped, resolve any issues and help you improve your processes.

What happens after installation?

You can relax knowing that our service to you will not stop once the software has been installed and is up and running – our Support Team are always on hand during office hours to help and we aim to pick up your call quickly and efficiently.

How good is thewealthworks' after sales support?

You can call on our team of dedicated experts, including qualified CAs, for any support you need. We answer 95% of all calls within three rings and expect to resolve 75% of queries during the first call. And to make sure we continually offer our clients the best service all support requests are logged and reviewed regularly.

What happens with accounts templates and what if we want a template that isn't included in the initial set-up?

If you ask us, we’ll make sure you have it. We hold a large variety of templates (including discretionary, life interest, accumulation and maintenance and estate/STEP compliant) and will develop the template(s) for you as part of the implementation. If, at a later stage, your requirements change or you wish to make amendments, we can offer a comprehensive training workshop to enable you to create, edit and implement your own accounts or, if you prefer, we’ll do the work for you.

Do you offer any backup service for my data? Will my data be safe?

If you are looking for a hosted solution we can provide a regular online backup of your database and other key electronic data, stored off-site in a secure location.

Integration

Does Troika Accounting work with other systems?

If you use form-producing systems such as Digita, PTP Software, Drummohr, and CCH Software, then you will be relieved to know that Troika Accounting has generic import and export routines that are designed to make the appropriate calculations and link with other systems, automatically minimising the time-consuming process of re-keying information.

What about financial data feeds?

We accept security pricing, dividend information and capital actions from all the known financial data feeds. It is our policy not to have direct business relationships with data providers, protecting our independence and enabling you to have a direct relationship with the data provider of your choice. Our current clients are using links from SIX, Interactive Data, and Bloomberg. If this doesn’t suit you, we will be happy to explore linking with any other company providing data feeds and commit to providing a link to any financial data feed at no extra charge.

How will my current data work with Troika?

Don’t worry about data conversion, we’ve got that covered. We have considerable experience of converting data from a variety of competitor systems and handle each conversion as a separate project within the implementation process. Data can also be transferred from other applications such as Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel.

Development

What about training?

You will receive an individual training package designed around the level of training you and your team needs. We offer a comprehensive training service of courses and workshops to suit almost every level of user and background including public courses held at our offices in Handcross, bespoke training at your site and refresher courses.

Is there any other support you offer?

Yes! thewealthworks hold annual user group meetings, currently in London, which gives current our users the chance to have a say on future development and enhancements, find out about upcoming updates and learn about new functionalities. It also gives you a chance to chat with other users and us to make sure you’re getting the most out of your system.

How do I know Troika Accounting and WealthWorks+ will keep up with changing regulations in the industry?

You will normally receive two updates per year, every year, all included in the annual license fee. We understand that the financial industry is constantly evolving as new regulations are passed and additional demands are placed on practitioners. With this in mind we are constantly working to develop Troika Accounting and WealthWorks+ to make sure the system you have is always as efficient as possible by including regulatory changes, new reports and additional functionality.

What if my business changes and I need more or less functionality?

Just let us know and we will help make sure the package you need is always the best option for your business.
