HubSpot for financial services

Making CRMs work for advisers, not the other way around

Financial advisers have long struggled with CRMs that don’t reflect how they actually build relationships. We’re changing that.

Too often, growth means changing everything. With our HubSpot solutions, you don’t have to. We help you scale, gain insights, and simplify operations without the need to reinvent your workflow.

From siloed data to streamlined growth

Disconnected platforms like IO and Xplan dominate financial services back offices. But they weren’t designed for marketing, sales or client engagement, which leaves gaps that cost firms time, referrals and growth. We help firms bridge those gaps with HubSpot, integrating their tech stack and turning the CRM into a tool advisers actually use to move the business forward.

Pareto Financial Planning, an award-winning IFA based in Manchester, had a strong track record of growth and client service—but lacked a scalable way to manage introducer relationships, outbound referrals, and new business pipelines. Advisers operated independently in siloed tools, and valuable referral activity often went untracked.

We implemented HubSpot with Hatch integration into their IO back office. This enabled the team to track and report on both inbound introducer referrals and outbound professional referrals to accountants, solicitors, and other partners—closing the loop on two-way referral value. Dedicated dashboards allowed them to understand which introducers drove the most revenue, and whether reciprocal value was being returned.

Adviser workflows were also brought into HubSpot, consolidating multiple tools into one CRM with custom pipelines, templates, and meeting links. Junior advisers could now handle their own leads efficiently, while senior staff had complete visibility across the firm.

Tracked revenue by introducer

Pareto gained visibility on which individual introducers (e.g. accountants, solicitors) generated the most enquiries and value—informing their partnership strategy.

Mapped outbound referrals

Dashboards logged outbound referrals to third parties, allowing Pareto to evaluate reciprocal relationships and keep compliance records accurate.

Unified adviser workflows

All activity—from enquiry logging to appointment scheduling and deal progression—was managed in one system.

The Outcome

Strengthened introducer strategy

Pareto built better relationships with high-value introducers by tracking real ROI and ensuring follow-up was timely and complete.

Improved team efficiency

Advisers embraced HubSpot thanks to time-saving tools and training tailored to their day-to-day work.

Allica Bank, a UK-based challenger bank focused on serving established small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), sought to enhance its customer relationship management to support rapid growth. After adopting HubSpot as their primary CRM, they partnered with us to optimise its usage and align it with their business objectives.

We provided consultancy services to refine Allica Bank's HubSpot implementation, ensuring it supported better decision-making and more effective delivery of business activities. This collaboration enabled Allica Bank to visualise their evolution and plan for the expansion of HubSpot across the business.

Allica Bank used HubSpot to streamline marketing automation and customer service functionalities, addressing initial limitations in their CRM setup.

Missed referral opportunities and inconsistent reporting.

A mid-sized independent financial adviser (IFA) firm with £3M in annual turnover came to us struggling with missed referral opportunities and inconsistent adviser reporting.

Each adviser managed their own pipeline in Outlook and spreadsheets, leaving leadership blind to performance and marketing ROI.

We implemented HubSpot with seamless integration to their IO back office. We also built custom dashboards that tracked referral sources, adviser activity and lead outcomes, finally giving the leadership team full oversight.

Junior advisers were empowered with redistributed leads, while senior staff now had the bandwidth to deepen existing relationships and generate new ones.

Improve performance, streamline workflows and justify marketing spend.

A national wealth planning firm backed by private equity - managing over £10M in annual revenue - was under pressure to improve performance, streamline adviser workflows and justify marketing spend.

Despite using Xplan for compliance, they had no central CRM for marketing or new business. Manual data pulls and disconnected processes were keeping them in the dark.

We deployed HubSpot with a direct integration into Xplan, which allowed both sales and marketing teams to operate from the same source of truth. Marketing could now build segmented audiences and run targeted nurture campaigns, while advisers used sequences and pipeline tracking to reduce admin and move faster on deals.

The leadership team gained dashboards that tied adviser activity to revenue, unlocking more strategic conversations across departments.

Faster sales cycle

By automating onboarding, follow-ups and comms through HubSpot, the firm cut average lead-to-client conversion time by two-thirds.

+150%

Lift in marketing engagement

Real-time CRM data enabled personalised campaigns, dramatically improving open rates and downstream conversions.

The Outcome
