IFAgent is a UK-based technology company that designs and builds bespoke AI automation systems for Independent Financial Advisers and financial advisory firms. IFAgent automates the administrative layer of the IFA workflow — including meeting notes, suitability reports, Consumer Duty documentation, and annual review preparation — so advisers can spend more time with clients.

Is IFAgent suitable for small IFA practices?

Yes. IFAgent works with practices of all sizes, from sole-trader IFAs to firms with 50+ advisers. For smaller firms, the return on investment is typically faster because admin overhead takes a higher proportion of adviser time. Most 2–5 adviser practices recover the implementation cost within their first year of use.

Does IFAgent comply with FCA Consumer Duty requirements?

Yes. IFAgent is designed with FCA Consumer Duty as a core requirement. All automation maintains a human-in-the-loop: the adviser reviews and approves every AI-generated output before it is used. IFAgent does not make regulated advice decisions — it handles the administrative and documentation layer, keeping the regulated person in full control.

Which back-office systems does IFAgent integrate with?

IFAgent integrates with the major UK IFA back-office and CRM systems including Intelliflo (Intelligent Office), and others. Integration scope is confirmed during the discovery phase and configured to your firm's specific data model.

How much does IFAgent cost?

IFAgent is a bespoke implementation service, not a fixed-price subscription. Pricing is based on the scope of automation, number of advisers, and systems involved. Book a discovery call for a tailored proposal — most practices see a full return on investment within 12 months based on time savings alone.

Adviser Time Mix

Advisers spend around one‑third of their time in client-facing activity.

The remaining two‑thirds is a mix of admin, prep, reporting, and internal tasks.

Annual Review Preparation

Preparing for an annual review takes an average of 4.8 staff hours across advisers, paraplanners and admin teams.

By firm size:

3.9 hours — firms with 2–5 advisers
7.2 hours — firms with 50+ advisers

This highlights how larger firms face more operational drag due to legacy systems and complex workflows.

Who we are

We know financial advice. We know AI. We bridge the two.

IFAgent is a UK-based technology firm that designs and implements AI-driven automation specifically for Independent Financial Advisers and financial advisory firms.

We're not a generic software subscription. We take time to understand your practice — your workflow, your back-office systems, your client types, your regulatory context — and build automation that fits around how you actually work.

The result is AI that lands in your process, not alongside it.

Deep dual expertise

Over 25 years' experience in financial services and 25 years in technology — in the same room. We understand your world before we start building in it.

Help us to help you

Our approach is educational from day one. We take time to understand how you work — your language, your process, your pain points — so the automation we build actually fits.

Cut the noise

We identify and eliminate operational friction — the repetitive admin, the manual hand-offs, the tasks that drain time without adding value. Automation removes the noise so you can focus on clients.

You leave knowing how to use AI

We don't just build and disappear. You'll understand how to construct effective prompts, get consistent results, and keep improving — building a long-term capability, not a dependency.

Our Story

Our company was founded by two professionals who come from very different worlds, but who share a clear vision for the future of financial advice in the UK.

Dr Jeremy Bezant came to financial advice from institutional asset management — over two decades working on the buy side, where automated data flows between systems are the norm, not the exception. When he moved into the advice world, he was struck by how much of the same work was still being done by hand: platform data pulled manually, client records updated field by field, suitability letters drafted from scratch. He knew the technology to fix this existed. He started building it for his own firm first.

James Everard, a specialist in artificial intelligence, data engineering, and modern IT systems, approached the problem from the opposite direction. His career has focused on building and deploying advanced AI solutions, automation frameworks, and enterprise‑grade technology. James saw how rapidly AI was transforming other industries, and how little of that capability was reaching small and mid‑sized advisory firms, despite the enormous potential to improve efficiency, accuracy, and client experience.

When Jeremy and James met, the opportunity was obvious: combine deep IFA experience with cutting‑edge AI and IT expertise to create solutions that genuinely work for advisers.

They founded the company with a simple mission: to help UK IFAs adopt modern technology safely, confidently, and in a way that enhances, rather than replaces, the human advice relationship.

Today, their partnership brings together the best of both worlds:

Jeremy ensures every solution aligns with real advisory workflows, compliance expectations, and client‑service standards.

James ensures the technology is robust, secure, and built using the latest advances in AI and automation.

Together, they are helping advisory firms modernise without disruption, unlock new efficiencies, and stay competitive in a rapidly changing landscape, all while keeping the adviser–client relationship at the centre.

And as you can see from the photos, having proudly introduced AI into the mix, it now has it's own personality and they spend a lot more time debating with it than they should.

What we do

Automation across the full advice workflow

From the moment a client meeting ends to the compliance file landing in your back office — IFAgent automates the steps that cost you hours and add no value for your clients.

Meeting Capture & File Notes

AI transcribes and summarises client meetings in your house style — including suitability indicators and agreed actions — in minutes, not hours.

Suitability Report Drafting

Structured, compliant suitability report drafts generated from meeting data and client records. Review and approve rather than write from scratch.

Consumer Duty Documentation

Automated evidence packs demonstrating good client outcomes under the four Consumer Duty outcomes — audit-ready, continuously maintained.

Annual Review Preparation

AI-assembled review packs: portfolio performance, previous recommendations, changes in circumstances. Walk in prepared, not buried.

Compliance Monitoring

100% file coverage quality assurance — flagging gaps and inconsistencies before they become regulatory issues.

Back-Office Integration

We connect AI outputs directly into your CRM and back-office system. No re-keying. No standalone tools sitting outside your stack.

How we work

From first conversation to live system

We don't hand you software and walk away. We embed in your practice, learn how you work, and build something that fits — then stay on hand as it evolves.

Discovery

We map your workflow, pain points, and compliance obligations. No assumptions.
Design

We design the solution around your practice. You approve before we build anything.
Build

We implement, integrate with your systems, and test against your real data.
Support

We deploy, train your team, and stay on hand. Ongoing improvements included.

Why IFAgent

The difference it makes

50–75%

Adviser Efficiency

Advisers save 50–75% of time currently spent on administrative tasks — time that goes back into client relationships, new business development, or simply leaving on time.

Better Client Experience

Faster onboarding, more personalised financial plans, and clearer communication — because your advisers aren't distracted by paperwork before and after every meeting.

Firm-Wide Advantages

Scalable advice delivery, reduced compliance overhead, and a genuine competitive edge in a market where most firms still run on manual processes and disconnected tech.

Grow Without Adding Headcount

Serve more clients, handle more reviews, and meet Consumer Duty requirements — without proportionally increasing your admin burden or hiring more support staff.
