The Problem

Advisor departures are a compliance and client risk

An advisor gives notice. Someone pulls up the offboarding checklist — if one exists. IT is notified to revoke access, eventually. Clients are manually reassigned, one by one. Compliance is notified days later. Records are archived weeks after that. The successor advisor inherits incomplete information and confused clients.

Every missed step is a potential compliance exposure. Every delay in client reassignment is a relationship at risk. Milemarker Relay eliminates the checklist entirely — one trigger initiates the complete transition workflow across every connected system, simultaneously, with a full audit trail from start to finish.

What You Can Automate

Every transition step, executed without a checklist

These are the offboarding workflows that protect firms from compliance exposure and client confusion when advisors depart.

System access revocation

The moment an advisor departure is initiated, access is revoked across every connected platform — CRM, client portal, trading systems, email, and custodian portals — simultaneously and completely.

Client reassignment

All clients reassigned to the designated successor in CRM, billing, custodian records, client portal, and reporting — every system updated at once, not one at a time over several days.

Compliance notification

Compliance receives an automatic notification with all required departure details — date, advisor information, client book, and next steps — timestamped and logged for regulatory readiness.

Record archival

Client files, communications, notes, and transaction history archived automatically according to firm retention policies — organized, accessible, and preserved for regulatory requirements.

Successor briefing packets

The successor advisor receives a complete briefing automatically — full client list, account summaries, open tasks, pending reviews, and relationship notes — before their first client call.

Communication templates

Client transition communications sent automatically — introducing the new advisor, reassuring continuity of service, and providing next steps — personalized, on-brand, and compliant.
