Creating a Unified Client Experience and Demonstrating Value: Lessons from Treysta Wealth

What if you could create a unified, consistent client experience across locations and advisors — while cutting meeting prep time in half, demonstrating the true value of your advice, and deepening client relationships — all with one platform?

Every financial advisor knows the importance of delivering an exceptional client experience. It's what sets you apart from the competition. The challenge lies in creating meaningful, engaging interactions while balancing the complexity of preparation and the systems needed to hold a dynamic meeting.

What if things could be different? A single platform that unifies client information and enables dynamic meetings could help you reduce prep time, increase client engagement, and demonstrate the value of your advice.

That was the aim of Treysta Wealth, a Sydney-based financial advice firm specialising in personalised financial advice for individuals, families, and small to medium-sized enterprises. Treysta was experiencing strong growth — not just bringing in new clients organically, but also onboarding new advisors and their clients through acquisitions. With that opportunity came a challenge: how do you ensure a consistent client experience across both existing and new advisors? While each advisor brings unique relationships and approaches, Treysta wanted all of that wrapped in a consistent, high-quality experience.

The answer? Technology.

Here's how Treysta Wealth successfully integrated Lumiant into their practice — and what other advisors can learn from their approach.

Step One: Unify Client Data to Save Time and Focus on What Matters

No two clients are the same. Everyone has different goals, risk appetites, and financial aspirations. Treysta Wealth knows this well, having tailored financial advice to meet clients' lifestyle and financial goals for over 30 years.

Equally, no two advisors are the same. They have different experiences and different processes. While that uniqueness is a strength, it can create friction around onboarding, admin, and client communication. Treysta wanted to mitigate that friction and deliver a consistently excellent experience across the firm.

In particular, preparing for meetings was challenging and time-consuming — client data was scattered across multiple systems. And when presenting information back to clients, advisors had to "tab-hop" across those systems, creating a disjointed meeting experience.

Lumiant eliminated this inefficiency by centralising everything into a single client dashboard: previous meeting notes, investment reports, financial portfolios, and personal goals — all captured in a highly visual interface that both advisor and client can see in one place.

This unified platform cut meeting preparation time by 50% and enabled a far more seamless meeting experience. For most clients, it's the first time seeing everything in a single place and having a true high-level view of what they're working toward.

“"Before Lumiant, preparing for meetings took about an hour and a half. Now, it's just 45 minutes. That means more time back for advisors to spend meeting their clients, which is more meaningful because we can show the client all the information we're talking about all in one place." — Mark Nagle, Executive Director at Treysta”

Best practices from Treysta for streamlining meetings:

• Consolidate all client data into a single platform to reduce prep time. Treysta took a gradual, client-by-client approach to transitioning their data into Lumiant, ensuring minimal disruption.
• Use features like Goals, Vault, Governance, and Net Worth to house all important client information — whether meeting notes, personal goals, investment reports, or financial accounts — so everything is accessible in every meeting.
• Think through the structure of your new meetings in advance. Knowing your flow means you can dive into the right modules and have more meaningful conversations with the right information on screen.

Step Two: Engage Clients with Dynamic, Interactive Meetings

No client ever said reviewing portfolio performance reports was fun. If you're not naturally excited by financial performance data, that kind of meeting will disengage you fast. Clients want to talk about their goals and aspirations — to see how they're progressing and have real conversations about their future.

Personalising financial planning meetings and having those deeper conversations is something Treysta specialises in. But they didn't have the technology to support it — until Lumiant.

Lumiant has transformed the meeting experience into something dynamic and consistent across the firm. Rather than capturing information with pen and paper, advisors now update client goals and plans in real time, turning static reviews into collaborative sessions. This not only improves client satisfaction but also reduces the time spent on repetitive admin tasks like updating meeting notes after the fact.

“"I truly think it's the biggest leap in client experience that we've had in a decade." — Mark Nagle, Executive Director at Treysta”

Best practices from Treysta for creating dynamic meetings:

• Use Lumiant's visual tools — such as the Net Worth report or Goals kanban board — to actively engage clients during the meeting.
• Update goals, plans, and financial strategies interactively, so clients can see the actions you'll take following your conversation.
• Capture key actions using modules like Tasks to reduce post-meeting admin. Lumiant's Best Life Plan can also be printed or sent as a PDF directly after the meeting.

Step Three: Showcase the Value of Your Advice

You've built a complete financial picture for your client. You've implemented changes and updated their profile on the fly. Now it's time to demonstrate how your financial strategies will empower them to live their best lives — connecting life outcomes to their financial plan and decoupling your value from market volatility.

Demonstrating the full value of what advisors do, beyond just the numbers, is one of the biggest challenges in financial advice. With Lumiant, it's become second nature for Treysta's advisors.

Using the Key Advice Areas feature, advisors can visually connect their financial strategies to life outcomes, making their impact clear and tangible. Clients can see what they're currently working on with their advisor, as well as the other financial strategies available to them. This transparency boosts client confidence, helps advisors feel more secure in their value, and opens up conversations about other ways they can help.

“"Lumiant has helped take away the 'imposter syndrome' many advisors feel when discussing fees. Now, they can confidently show the value they bring to the table." — Mark Nagle, Executive Director at Treysta”

Best practices from Treysta for showcasing your value:

• Input all the financial strategies you offer into Lumiant's Key Advice Areas so clients can see the full picture of what's available to them.
• Set the appropriate status for each active strategy before the meeting so you can walk clients through each area during the session.
• Link goals to each financial strategy to highlight the life outcomes it supports, putting your work in real terms for the client.
• Keep goals up to date — the platform will highlight which goals have been achieved thanks to your work. That transparency builds trust and helps advisors articulate the value of their service.

A Roadmap for Successful Implementation

Adopting a new platform can feel daunting, but Treysta Wealth's phased approach offers a clear roadmap. By transitioning client by client, they ensured a consistent experience for both advisors and clients, minimising disruption and allowing advisors to familiarise themselves with the system at their own pace.

If concerns about cost arise, Lumiant's ability to demonstrate clear ROI can help make the case. The time saved on meeting preparation and the improvement in client relationships more than justify the investment.

For Treysta Wealth, Lumiant has become the backbone of their client experience — enabling advisors to spend less time on admin and more time on meaningful conversations. By centralising data, streamlining workflows, and visually demonstrating value, they've created a cohesive, high-impact approach that benefits both advisors and clients alike.
