Orion Advisor Solutions, LLC specializes in providing services that support financial professionals. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, the company has undergone strategic developments, including a significant acquisition.

The company’s core offerings include a comprehensive suite of wealth management tools, such as portfolio accounting, client relationship management (CRM), risk intelligence, and compliance solutions. These services empower advisors to streamline their workflows, enhance client engagement, and deliver personalized financial planning.

Orion’s technology is utilized by various client segments, including Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), broker-dealers, banks, and trust companies, primarily across the United States and Canada. Their flagship products, such as Redtail CRM and Orion’s BeFi tools, are geared towards optimizing client interactions, guiding investment strategies, and ultimately facilitating holistic financial advice. The revenue model for Orion Advisor Solutions is primarily based on subscription fees for its suite of technology solutions, which cater to financial professionals. Clients pay for access to various services, including portfolio accounting and compliance management, structured to support both B2B and direct-to-consumer transactions.

The subscription structure allows firms to scale their technology use based on their operational needs, contributing to consistent revenue streams. Orion also generates revenue through partnerships, such as integrations with financial planning tools and trading platforms, enhancing the overall value of its offerings. Each service is designed to provide measurable benefits to users, ensuring that the investment in technology translates into improved client service and business growth for financial advisors. Following the acquisition in 2015, Orion Advisor Solutions, LLC is poised for further growth and innovation.

The company is focused on expanding its product lineup with new technology solutions tailored for the evolving needs of financial advisors.
