New York, Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flourish, a platform that provides innovative access to financial products that help registered investment advisors (“RIAs”) improve their clients’ financial outcomes, today announced an expanded integration between Flourish Cash, its cash management offering, and eMoney Advisor, a leading provider of technology solutions and services that help people talk about money. In addition to creating efficiencies for advisors to access Flourish’s suite of products, the integration incorporates Flourish Cash into the Decision Center, eMoney’s most interactive and collaborative planning tool.

Building on the existing direct data feed that is currently in use by hundreds of advisors, the enhanced partnership now allows advisors on eMoney, who choose to leverage the new integration, to see and model clients’ held away cash and demonstrate the impact of moving cash from low-yielding accounts to competitive rate accounts at Flourish directly in Decision Center. This interactive modeling capability lets advisors show live projections of the effect of cash on the portfolio over time. After showing clients the value of optimizing their cash holdings, advisors can pre-fill and send Flourish Cash invitations from within eMoney. 

"The new integration offers our firm a powerful tool for engaging with clients on the potential value of held away cash,” said Jason Newcomer, Principal and Financial Planner at Dogwood Wealth Management. “Many clients have significant balances in their savings accounts, earning next to nothing. Now I can show them how moving that money to a higher yielding account can have a real impact on how long their money will last in retirement. And with Flourish, they still feel it’s ‘their’ money, with control over the account and same day liquidity."

"At Verde, we take a 360 degree approach to helping clients with their finances. Flourish is a key piece of that approach, and the new eMoney visualization really brings to life the importance of earning a competitive rate on their cash savings,” said Carl Szasz, President and Chief Compliance Officer at Verde Capital Management. “I've seen a lot of integrations over the years and rarely do they actually add functionality, let alone functionality that is truly impactful for clients, but this one delivers."  

"The Flourish integration available within eMoney’s Decision Center empowers advisors to show clients the opportunity cost of ignoring held-away savings using real-time visualizations and projections. Advisors have the ability to pre-fill and send applications from within eMoney, resulting in an efficient, functional and impactful experience for advisors and their clients,” said Ricky Illigasch, VP, Product Management, at eMoney. “Enabling advisors to illustrate impact over time is a key part of the collaborative planning process and helps end-clients not only make informed financial decisions but also take action."

Flourish has deep integrations across the RIA ecosystem, allowing advisors to incorporate Flourish products into their existing workflows while seamlessly serving clients.

“Incorporating Flourish Cash into eMoney’s Decision Center allows advisors to highlight the importance of optimizing cash reserves and the impact of extra yield on a client’s long term financial plan,” said Max Lane, Flourish CEO. “This unique integration dramatically improves the advisor workflow to make it easy and seamless to invite clients to Flourish Cash directly from eMoney. Embedding key functionality, like our invite feature within existing platforms, saves advisors valuable time and will be an ongoing trend in the years ahead.”

Over 850 RIAs managing over $1.5 trillion in combined assets trust Flourish to help them bring more assets into their orbit. The Flourish platform allows advisors to feature their firm’s branding, take discretion or offer as client-directed accounts, as well as providing client-friendly marketing materials, robust and customizable compliance resources, white-glove support, and more.
