We founded LEA on three simple principles.

Advisors Should Be Advisors, Not Data Processors

Advisors and staff spend 80% of their time preparing, 20% engaging—this must flip.

Technology should help advisors focus on client relationships, not create admin work.

Too Much Software, Not Enough Impact

Despite a plethora of tech (see Kitces map), most tools lack the data needed to deliver compounding value for firms and clients.

Weak integrations force advisors and staff to toggle between disjointed systems.

Maintaining Data Quality Is Too Hard

Manual entry across multiple sources of truth wastes time and leads to errors.

Inconsistent, unstructured data undermines trust and prevents firms from systematically serving clients holistically and dynamically.

At LEA, we’re using AI and workflow automation to get critical jobs done and provide firms the data they need to power growth.
