Use cases

One platform, every advisory role

Meridian adapts to every role in the advisory workflow — from portfolio managers and operations to compliance leads and the clients they serve.

By role

Built for the people who run the book

Every role carries its own friction. Meridian meets each one where it is — replacing scattered tools and email threads with a single, auditable surface.

Portfolio manager

Advisor

The struggle today

Drift is caught late, model changes get applied household by household, and every rebalance means stitching together a spreadsheet, a trade blotter, and a separate reporting tool before anyone signs off.

What Meridian does

Meridian runs the book like a desk. Models, drift, proposed trades, and client-ready narratives live in one place, so the advisor reviews and approves instead of assembling.

Model-aware drift monitoring

Continuous comparison of every account against its target model with configurable tolerance bands per sleeve.

One-click proposed trades

Drift breaches generate netted, tax-aware order proposals you review before anything routes to the desk.

Bulk model changes

Shift a model allocation once and Meridian fans the change across every linked household with an approval gate.

Client-ready narratives

Every approved action ships with a plain-language explanation that flows straight into the next report.

Client service

Operations

The struggle today

Onboarding stalls on missing documents and not-in-good-order forms. Verification status lives in email threads, and nobody can say which households are blocked or why.

What Meridian does

Meridian turns onboarding into a tracked pipeline. Checklists, document capture, and KYC/AML verification run on rails with a clear status for every household at every step.

Guided onboarding checklists

Role-based tasks unlock in sequence so nothing routes to compliance before it is complete.

NIGO reduction

Inline validation catches missing signatures and stale documents before submission, cutting not-in-good-order rework.

KYC/AML verification

Identity and screening checks complete in-flow, with enhanced due diligence triggered only when risk signals fire.

Live household status

A single board shows every account's stage, owner, and blocker — no more chasing email threads.

Compliance lead

Compliance

The struggle today

Supervision means reconstructing what happened after the fact. Exceptions surface in scattered tools, policy tuning is guesswork, and audit prep consumes days of manual evidence gathering.

What Meridian does

Meridian makes supervision continuous. Exceptions land in one queue, policies are versioned and tunable, and every decision writes an immutable record that exports as a complete audit pack.

Unified exception queue

Trade, suitability, and onboarding exceptions converge in a single prioritized review surface.

Versioned policy controls

Tune thresholds and approval gates with full change history, so you can show what was in force and when.

Attestations on rails

Periodic and event-driven attestations are requested, tracked, and timestamped without spreadsheets.

One-click audit packs

Export a complete, traceable evidence bundle for any account or period in minutes, not days.

Client portal

Client

The struggle today

Clients get a quarterly PDF and a phone number. Between statements they cannot see what changed in their portfolio, what was done on their behalf, or why.

What Meridian does

Meridian gives clients a calm, explainable window into their wealth. Holdings, reports, and the reasoning behind every action are available on demand, without noise.

Transparent portfolio view

Real-time holdings, performance, and allocation presented for clarity rather than overload.

On-demand reporting

Statements and performance reports are always current and archived, never waiting on a quarter close.

Explainable decisions

Every rebalance or harvest comes with a 'why this action' explanation in plain language.

Secure messaging

Conversations stay attached to the household record, so context never lives in a lost inbox.

By workflow

From trigger to audit artifact

Each core workflow starts with a real-world trigger, runs on policy-aware rails, and ends by writing a record you can defend.

Client onboarding

Trigger
A new household enters the pipeline and a guided checklist opens.
Meridian
Documents are captured and validated inline, KYC/AML screening runs automatically, and enhanced due diligence is triggered only when risk signals fire — driving down not-in-good-order rework.
Artifact
A complete, timestamped onboarding file with verification results and document provenance.

Rebalancing

Trigger
An account breaches its drift tolerance band against the target model.
Meridian
Meridian generates netted, tax-aware proposed trades, routes them through the advisor for review, and applies an approval gate before anything reaches the desk.
Artifact
An approved order set linked to the drift breach, the model version, and the approving advisor.

Tax-loss harvesting

Trigger
A position moves below cost basis within a harvestable threshold.
Meridian
Wash-sale aware logic identifies eligible lots, proposes replacement holdings to preserve exposure, and surfaces the projected realized loss for approval.
Artifact
A harvest record capturing lots sold, replacements purchased, and wash-sale checks performed.

Reporting

Trigger
A reporting period closes or a client requests an on-demand statement.
Meridian
Performance, holdings, and activity reports are auto-generated from the system of record, branded, and delivered to the client portal without manual assembly.
Artifact
A versioned, archived report retained for the household with full data lineage.

Compliance exceptions

Trigger
An action violates a policy threshold or trips a supervision rule.
Meridian
The exception lands in the compliance queue, is gated behind a policy-driven approval, and requires an attestation before the workflow can proceed.
Artifact
An immutable exception record with the policy version, decision, approver, and attestation.

One system of record

Built for your whole firm

Advisors, operations, compliance, and clients work from the same source of truth. A drift breach the advisor approves, the exception compliance clears, and the report a client opens are the same record — not four copies drifting out of sync across tools.

Because everything is connected, context and audit trails follow the work automatically. Nothing has to be reconciled, re-keyed, or reconstructed after the fact.

Shared data model

Households, accounts, and policies are defined once and referenced everywhere.

Immutable audit trail

Every action is recorded with who, what, when, and the policy in force.

Role-aware surfaces

Each role sees the same record through the lens of its own work.

Policy at the core

Controls live in the platform, not in a binder, and apply consistently.
