CircleBlack vs Orion

We also know that most platforms don't live up to this promise

  • Includes too many capabilities you don't use or need

Which can negatively impact your business

  • Spend too much time navigating an unintuitive platform
  • Key info sits across multiple tools, slowing decision making

Hear from our customers

Simplify your reporting experience

“Our previous all-in-one vendor offered too many reporting capabilities that we never used and were overpaying for, and the reports themselves looked outdated. The experience with CircleBlack is so much simpler and the reports look better – we’re really pleased we switched”

- Dani Mutz, Cross State Financial

Only pay for what you need

“Our prior all-in-one vendor bundled their CRM and planning tools into the price we paid, even though we already used Wealthbox and Right Capital. We wanted a partner who let us use the tools we prefer and that focused on making those tools work well together – CircleBlack is that vendor, and we’re happy we made the switch”

- C. Laughton, Diversified Capital

Gain deeper client insights

“Before CircleBlack, I had no visibility into my clients' held away investment accounts like 401ks and other brokerage accounts. Now this information is right at my fingertips, giving me confidence I'm seeing the whole picture and delivering the right advice”

- Rob Michel, Glen Eagle

Commitment to customer service

“We switched to CircleBlack not just for its superior technology but also for its exceptional customer service. Unlike our previous vendor, CircleBlack's Client Success team goes above and beyond to address our needs promptly and efficiently. Their dedication to client satisfaction sets them apart.”

- Eric Pierce, Rovin Capital
