Most portfolio software is organized around an account — a folio number, a demat account, a policy. That’s a reasonable way to store data, but it’s not how anyone actually thinks about their finances. A household doesn’t have “an account that’s underfunded.” It has a retirement it’s worried about, a child’s education it’s saving for, a home loan it wants gone.
Fleek’s advisor workspace is organized around the “Family” instead — a household as the actual unit, with individual members attributed underneath it, not the other way around.
What that looks like day to day
Opening a household on Fleek starts with a cockpit view: which goals are at risk, where net worth is headed, and what needs attention — before any account-level detail. An advisor isn’t reconstructing the situation from a list of holdings; the situation is already summarized.
From there, everything about the relationship sits under four groupings: Health, Planning, Engagement, and Investments. A goal, a meeting note, a risk profile, and a mutual fund holding all belong to the same household record, so nothing about a client relationship gets lost between separate tools.
Members, not just an account holder
A financial plan usually involves more than one person — a spouse, sometimes a dependent. Fleek attributes specific goals, investments, and documents to individual members of the family while keeping the plan itself at the household level. A retirement goal can belong to one member; the emergency fund can cover the whole household. Both are visible in the same place.
Why this is harder to build, and worth it anyway
It would be simpler to build software around one account type and let advisors work around the gaps. We think the harder version is the more honest one: financial lives are lived by families, and software that mirrors that is easier for an advisor to reason about, and easier for a client to actually open and understand.
