Firm continues investing in scalable infrastructure to support advisor growth, innovation, and increasingly complex client needs
LOS ANGELES, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Signature Estate & Investment Advisors (SEIA), a national wealth management firm, today announced a significant expansion of its advisor platform, incorporating AI-enabled tools into advisor workflows to help improve efficiency, enhance planning capabilities, and support practice growth. The firm also announced the addition of a senior technology leader to lead the firm's AI and platform integration initiatives.
These efforts reflect SEIA's broader strategy to build a more integrated and scalable platform designed to support advisors in delivering personalized advice while growing their practices.
"As advisors continue to serve more clients with increasing complexity, our focus is on giving them the tools and infrastructure to do that effectively," said Matt Matrisian, President of SEIA. "This investment reflects our commitment to building a platform where advisors can grow their business, deliver comprehensive advice, and maintain the level of personalization clients expect."
Since joining SEIA in April of last year, Matrisian has focused on strengthening the firm's platform and advisor experience as part of its broader growth strategy—efforts reflected in these platform enhancements.
SEIA's platform evolution is centered on enhancing how advice is delivered—bringing together financial planning, tax coordination, and estate strategy into a more seamless and scalable experience for both advisors and clients. As part of this effort, the firm is advancing AI-enabled capabilities integrated into advisor workflows to:
- Streamline complex planning and operational processes, including digitizing and analyzing client documents to help reduce manual data entry and support compliance workflows
- Surface key insights faster by summarizing portfolio changes, trends, and discussion topics ahead of client conversations
- Enable advisors to operate more efficiently at scale, helping reduce time spent on manual processes
Rather than introducing standalone tools, SEIA is integrating technology directly into how advisors work, supporting decision-making while preserving the human relationships at the center of the client experience.
To lead these efforts, SEIA has added a senior technology leader, Advait Kulkarni, to drive the firm's platform integration strategy. In this role, Kulkarni is responsible for advancing SEIA's technology capabilities, including the development and integration of AI-enabled tools designed to streamline workflows, help reduce manual processes, and support advisor productivity and the overall client experience.
"Technology should enhance how advisors serve clients—not replace it," said Advait Kulkarni, Senior Vice President of Technology Operations. "Our focus is on building solutions that are practical, integrated into existing workflows, and ultimately help advisors deliver improved client experiences at scale."
SEIA's continued investment in platform capabilities reinforces its position as a firm for advisors seeking to grow their business, better serve clients, and build long-term careers. The firm's model combines centralized infrastructure with advisor flexibility and autonomy, allowing advisors to leverage deep planning, operational, and technology resources while maintaining control in how they operate their business and serve their clients. This approach has helped foster a culture of mentorship, career development, and long-term advisor retention—reflected in its recognition as one of Financial Planning's 2025 "Best RIAs to Work for" and its ranking at No. 19 on Barron's 2025 list of Top RIAs.
