Quoting still lives in a spreadsheet
Every client scenario means rebuilding the same sheet — versions drift, numbers get retyped, and the client waits while you check the math.
Growth systems for advisory & professional practices
Quote tools, client intake, site, and content engine for financial advisors and licensed professional practices — built as one connected system, owned by you.
Built and runs the quoting system for a CI Assante advisory practice

So the practice runs the system — not the other way around.
Manual & scattered
Pieces of the workflow live in too many places.
Working system
The next step has a clear place to go.
Where the practice leaks
Referral-stable practices rarely have a leads problem. They have these — and every one is a workflow a system can run quietly, every day, without reminders.
Every client scenario means rebuilding the same sheet — versions drift, numbers get retyped, and the client waits while you check the math.
Each new client kicks off the same documents, emails, and reminders — assembled by hand, every time, usually by you.
Prospects, review cycles, and renewals slip because the next touch lives in your head and your inbox, not in a system.
The site, the newsletter, the LinkedIn presence — fine for a week when you push, silent for a month when the real work takes over.
You can feel where the practice is, but showing it — pipeline, status, revenue — takes an afternoon of pulling numbers together.
Approvals, next steps, client updates, and handoffs wait on your attention. The practice's throughput is capped at your calendar.

Offers
The first project is deliberately small: one tool that removes a real friction, live in weeks. The retainer exists for practices that want the whole growth system built and run for them.
Pick the friction that costs you most — quoting, intake, follow-up. I map how it actually works today, then build the tool that runs it: a quote calculator, an intake app, an automated follow-up path. A clean practice site is part of the build if you need one.
Add the care plan (from $200/mo) for monitoring, fixes, and small improvements so the tool keeps fitting the practice
Yours outright — code, accounts, data, documentation. No lock-in.
For practices that want the full system built and run: quoting, intake, site, content engine, reporting — improved every month. Marketing output comes out of the system as a byproduct, not as a campaign you have to feed.
I take on 3–4 retainer practices at a time, so each one gets real attention.
Retainer capacity is limited by design. The first build is how we both decide.
Selected work
A production intake system, a live industry demo, and a private client CRM — every preview is the real interface, with content genericized where client work stays private.
Client intake system — built for a financial-advisory practice
Validates, scores, and turns each submission into a formatted document routed to the right inbox — an estimated 30–45 minutes of manual review saved per form.
Synthetic content · nothing is stored

Estate-law quoting — live demo
Clients see a line-itemed flat-fee estimate before they book; the office receives the intake summary, checklists, and a drafted engagement letter from the same five answers.

Employment CRM — private client system
Employer outreach through retention for a community employment program, with role-based access and a full audit log. Identities stay in the organization's case-management system — reference IDs only.

How it works
Sit with the quoting, intake, or follow-up path as it actually runs — forms, spreadsheets, inboxes, handoffs — and pick the friction with the most leverage.
Build the tool that removes it — plain automation where it's most reliable, AI where it genuinely helps, configuration where you already own the right tools.
Go live with the people doing the work, document the flow, then choose what's next: run it yourself, add the care plan, or hand me the whole system.

About me
Matt Henderson — systems partner for advisory and professional practices.
About
I'm Matt Henderson. I build growth and operations systems for financial advisors and licensed professional practices — quote tools, client intake, sites, content engines — and I stay on to run them.
No account manager, no handoff. The person who maps the workflow is the one who builds, ships, and supports the system.
The deliverable is a working system. Content, presence, and campaigns come out of it as byproducts — not the other way around.
This isn't a recommendation deck. The quoting system I built for a CI Assante advisory practice is live and supported today.

Questions
Straight answers — the same ones you would get on the intro call.
Something I didn't cover?
Book a 30-minute intro callLicensed professional practices — financial advisors first, plus accounting and other advisory firms. If quoting, intake, follow-up, or content still runs on manual effort and your memory, that's the pattern I build for.
Not in the way agencies mean it. Referral-based practices rarely have a leads problem — they have quoting friction, intake chaos, and a presence that runs in bursts. I build the systems that fix those. Marketing output falls out of the system as a byproduct.
Both, honestly. Some workflows benefit from AI — summarizing documents, drafting follow-ups, routing messy inputs. Others just need reliable automation with no AI involved. I use whichever makes the system dependable, and I'll tell you which is which.
The first build starts at $995 as a scoped flat fee — you know the number before any work starts. The care plan runs from $200/mo. Growth systems retainers run $1,500–2,500/mo, scoped to the practice.
Nothing ships to a client without your review. Quotes, content, and client-facing copy all pass through you — and your compliance process — before they go anywhere. Systems are built on accounts the practice owns, so oversight stays where it belongs.
No. Everything is built on accounts you own and documented so another person could run it. If we stop working together, the system stays and keeps working.
