FP Alpha
AI document analysis for advanced planning — reads tax returns, wills, trusts, and insurance policies in seconds and surfaces actionable insights you can monetize. The Stage 2 default for advisory-revenue work beyond core portfolio management.
Best for
- Quick tax analysis for new clients: upload last year's 1040 and FP Alpha summarizes 16 key tax areas (MAGI tiers, Roth analysis, charitable deductions, QBI, federal vs. state) in a client-facing visual — converts a 90-minute review into 10 minutes
- Estate planning conversations: upload a client's will/trust/POA and the Estate Snapshot shows the asset-flow diagram, identified gaps, and conversation-starter insights — turns a topic FAs typically avoid into a billable engagement
- Property & casualty insurance review: upload home/auto/umbrella declarations and FP Alpha identifies coverage gaps or overpayment — most FAs never touch this, and it's a low-friction value-add that drives referrals
- Building advisory revenue streams without hiring a tax pro or estate attorney — FP Alpha doesn't replace those professionals but makes you sharper in the diagnostic conversation that leads to engaging them
Avoid
- Daily-driver scribe or meeting workflow — FP Alpha is document analysis; use Jump / Zocks / Pulse360 for meetings
- Anything outside tax / estate / P&C document categories — FP Alpha's models are trained on those specific document types; throwing arbitrary documents at it isn't its strength
- Replacement for an actual tax pro or estate attorney on complex cases — FP Alpha surfaces talking points; final advice still needs a licensed specialist
Shortcuts
- The Estate Snapshot is the most under-used asset — even for clients without complex estate plans, the visual asset-flow diagram is a conversation-starter that drives engagement (and often surfaces 'we should update this' moments worth the credit cost)
- Tax Analysis credits make new-client meetings dramatically more useful — upload the prior-year 1040 BEFORE the meeting and walk in with insights, not questions
- P&C insurance review is the lowest-friction credit usage — most clients send dec pages without resistance, and gap-finding drives referrals to your firm's preferred insurance partner (and sometimes back to you for higher umbrella limits)
- The platform updated for the 2026 tax-law revisions — re-run analyses on existing clients to surface new optimization opportunities, especially around the 2026 changes
Model variants
FP Alpha runs proprietary AI trained specifically on US tax returns, estate documents, and P&C insurance forms. You don't pick a model — the differentiator is the document-specific tuning and the client-facing visualization layer, not the underlying LLM.
Compliance gotchas
- Document uploads include highly sensitive client data (full tax returns, estate documents with beneficiary info, account-level insurance dec pages). Verify FP Alpha's SOC 2, encryption-at-rest, and data-residency posture against your firm's IT/compliance review.
- FP Alpha generates 'planning insights' that look like advice — they're decision-support material, not advice itself. Always wrap the FP Alpha output in your firm's normal advisory process; don't ship the raw output to clients without your editorial pass.
- Tax law changes frequently — verify the FP Alpha analysis reflects the current year's regulations before relying on it (the platform's published its 2026 tax-law update, but corner-case rules can lag).
- For estate documents specifically, FP Alpha extracts and visualizes — it does NOT validate the legal sufficiency of the document. If the estate plan needs updating, refer to an estate attorney; FP Alpha is the diagnostic, not the prescription.

Pricing
Annual licenses (not monthly). All-in-one $1,995/yr per advisor — includes credits for tax, estate, and P&C insurance analysis. Estate-only $1,790/yr per advisor (slightly cheaper if you only need that module). Credit-based: 1 credit per tax document review, 1 credit per estate household review. Volume pricing for firm-wide licenses. Annual structure means you commit up-front; typical recoup is 2-3 new advisory engagements driven from the diagnostics.
