Wealth Management Firm Scraper — SEC Form ADV Intelligence

Extract every SEC-registered investment adviser from official Form ADV filings. Get AUM, employee count, client types, compensation model, and calculated signals that tell you why each firm is a sales opportunity.

Why this data is gold

Other scrapers give you a list of RIAs. This scraper tells you why you should call them.

Every field is a signal:

What you see	What it means	Who cares
AUM per employee above $100M	Lean team, heavy tech dependence — they NEED automation	Wealthtech vendors, portfolio mgmt platforms
5 employees, $200M AUM	Too small to build in-house — prime outsourced CIO candidate	TAMPs, outsourced CIO providers, custodians
500+ accounts, 10 staff	Scaling strain — client service is suffering	CRM vendors, client portal providers, reporting tools
Avg account size $5M+	Ultra-HNW focus — need estate planning, tax, alternative investments	Estate attorneys, tax advisors, alt investment platforms
Commission-based compensation	Heightened compliance scrutiny — regulators are watching	Compliance consultants, RegTech vendors
Performance-based fees	Sophisticated fund operation — need advanced analytics	Risk analytics, fund admin, prime brokerage
High non-discretionary AUM	Advisory-only — clients make final decisions, need better reporting	Financial planning software, client reporting

Use cases

Sell to RIAs (wealthtech, compliance, consulting)

Filter by firm category + state. A boutique RIA in Texas with $300M AUM and 3 employees is buying technology. A $50B mega firm in New York is not your customer. This scraper lets you find YOUR market.

Custodian prospecting

Schwab, Fidelity, and Pershing compete for RIA custody relationships. Filter by AUM range ($100M-$1B = sweet spot), low employee count (need custodian support), and state for regional teams.

TAMP / outsourced CIO

Find firms with high AUM-per-employee ratios and small teams. These firms can't build their own investment models — they need turnkey asset management platforms.

Compliance consulting

Filter for firms with commission-based compensation or disclosure flags. These firms face the most regulatory pressure and need compliance help.

M&A / succession planning

Boutique firms with aging principals and high AUM are acquisition targets. The firm category + employee count + AUM combination reveals these.
