What Orion Advisor Solutions does

Orion Advisor Solutions is a US-based wealthtech platform serving independent financial advisors, RIAs, broker-dealers, banks, family offices, and custodians. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, the company operates through a holding structure with wholly-owned subsidiaries including Orion Advisor Technology, Orion Portfolio Solutions, Redtail Technology (acquired 2022), TownSquare Capital (acquired 2022), BasisCode Compliance (acquired 2021), and Summit Wealth Systems (acquired 2024). The platform spans portfolio accounting, CRM, trading, financial planning, compliance, risk intelligence, and client/advisor portals, with Denali AI and the Denali Data Layer serving as cross-cutting intelligence and integration layers.

The company monetizes through a combination of recurring technology subscriptions (sold as integrated suite or individual modules, billed annually), TAMP services that administer $3.8 trillion in assets through Orion Portfolio Solutions, OCIO services via TownSquare Capital with $64.3 billion under management, proprietary investment strategies via Brinker Capital Investments, and Custom Indexing. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales, a consultative 'Get a Consult' approach, integration partnerships with major custodians (Schwab, Fidelity, BNY Mellon Pershing) that drive embedded distribution, product-led growth via the #1-rated Redtail CRM, and the annual Ascent conference. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Orion claims #1 market share in CRM, Portfolio Accounting, and All-in-One Software per the T3/Inside Information Software Survey (2026), with 217 of the top 20 Barron's RIAs on the platform, 7.8 million+ technology accounts, and 100,000+ investment professionals on Redtail CRM. The company is privately held and PE-backed; founder Eric Clarke stepped down as CEO in October 2026 and was succeeded by Natalie Wolfsen, formerly CEO of rival TAMP firm AssetMark. Reported client outcomes include 40% higher organic growth rates for Orion clients versus non-Orion firms in 2025.

Direct peers

• Addepar: Addepar offers a portfolio management, analytics, and reporting platform serving large RIAs, family offices, and institutional investors — a comparable enterprise-wealthtech offering to Orion, particularly for high-net-worth and growth-focused advisory firms.
• Envestnet: Envestnet provides a portfolio of advisor technology (Tamarac, Yodlee), financial planning (MoneyGuide), and TAMP/OCIO services that directly overlap Orion's portfolio accounting, planning, and turnkey investment offerings for RIAs and broker-dealers.
• AssetMark: AssetMark is a TAMP and wealth management platform serving RIAs — the firm where incoming Orion CEO Natalie Wolfsen previously served as CEO, making it the closest direct TAMP/OCIO competitor.

• InvestCloud: InvestCloud delivers a digital wealth management platform with portfolio management, trading, and client portal capabilities, competing with Orion across both advisor technology and enterprise wealth workflows.

Broad incumbents

• Salesforce Financial Services Cloud: Salesforce's Financial Services Cloud is a broad CRM and engagement platform competing in the same advisor workflow space where Orion's Redtail CRM operates; it offers wider enterprise software scale but less depth in portfolio-accounting workflows.
• Broadridge: Broadridge is a large incumbent in wealth and investment management infrastructure (including advisor technology, data, and communications), competing broadly across Orion's portfolio of services with greater scale and a wider product portfolio.

Emerging players

• Riskalyze: Riskalyze provides risk-tolerance and risk-intelligence tools for advisors, overlapping with Orion's Risk Intelligence and risk-overlay capabilities and competing for the same RIA buyer persona.
• eMoney Advisor: eMoney Advisor is a financial planning platform for advisors, overlapping with Orion Planning and tightly integrated into Orion via SSO and data sync; it competes head-to-head for the financial planning layer of the advisor stack.
• MoneyGuide: MoneyGuide is a financial planning software provider that integrates bidirectionally with Orion, serving the same RIA and broker-dealer buyer base for goal-based planning workflows.
