Your system is by far the best I've seen in balancing price, convenience and effectiveness. I'm happy to share that with anyone that would have a need.

Jessica and Steve ... have gone "above and beyond" helping me with a recent issue I had with the program. I know that you have had some tough weather in your area and have even had to close the office for parts of several days. Jessica, while working out of the office, has kept in touch with me and was a HUGE help in helping to solve my issue. Although we have a couple of small details to finish up, I am back up and running.

PowerAdvisor reports are simple to understand and easy to present.

The PowerAdvisor suite of turn-key compliance reports are a great help to advisors preparing for the inevitable visit from regulators. When the reports are part of an advisor's ongoing compliance program and system of internal controls it becomes much easier to spot operational and internal control issues before they become problems. Using the reports to help manage compliance proactively demonstrates to regulators and the entire firm that compliance is important and fiduciary excellence is the advisor's goal.

It seems in today's business environment, once the sale has been made, customer support is an afterthought. This is not the case with Cornerstone Revolutions. I am always treated well, and am never made to feel like I am a nuisance.

PowerAdvisor's reasonable price was the initial attraction for me. But when I saw how professional my reports looked after the fourth quarter, particularly the (Returns vs Benchmarks report), I knew the company was right on track. I was looking for a company to build a relationship with and was pleased to find one in my own backyard.

Starting my practice from ground zero, I was exploring my options and could only find portfolio management software that was built on old technology, was too expensive, or both. I read Joel Bruckenstein's review of PowerAdvisor and ordered a demo. I found it was priced-right, user friendly, and backed by a company eager to work through the challenges with you. Some of the other companies I contacted didn't even bother to return my call.
The fact that I own my data with PowerAdvisor is a big factor for me. Companies come and go, and if they owned my data, that would be gone too. Independent financial planners owe it to themselves to support products that give you options so we are not at the mercy of those who decide what we pay and what we get.

"I joined the RIA firm I am currently with in October of '05 and my first project was to get PowerAdvisor up and running. While it was frustrating at first to get the downloads to reconcile it took me only a few weeks to learn the program. The staff at Cornerstone are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful! The reports are terrific and easy to run. Reconciliation now is a breeze. I highly recommend this software."

"I started this thread after research and feedback, I decided with PowerAdvisor. I am very happy with the choice. A lot of value for the cost of the program."

"I, too, am very happy with PowerAdvisor. Like anything new there is a learning curve but after you have got it down the downloading/reconcillation is a breeze. And I like the reports as do my customers. Their website is www.poweradvisortools.com."

"I have to add my $.02 about PowerAdvisor. I'm very happy with it. I don't think there is anything out there that gives you the flexibility and independence for the price. Some growing pains initially, but I believe that is behind them (Cornerstone) now. It literally takes me 5 minutes to do my reconciliations. If owning your own data is important to you and you want to be able to do such leading edge things as mail PDFs of great-looking, easy-to-read reports (I am no longer in the printing and mailing business), I highly recommend it."

You can expect PowerAdvisor to be more innovative than any of the other PMS systems.

PowerAdvisor is the first new decent desktop portfolio management and reporting package I have come across in a long time. The wait is over. For 2004, our Rookie of the Year Winner is PowerAdvisor, from Cornerstone Revolutions.
