CFP Board is convening an AI Working Group on June 10-11 at its Washington, D.C., headquarters to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the financial planning ecosystem and to define the evolving role of human expertise in a tech-powered future. As part of CFP Board’s broader strategy to help the profession thrive in an AI-powered world, the group is developing strategic, actionable recommendations to guide the profession forward, helping ensure that technology enhances the human relationships at the core of financial planning. 

In partnership with consulting company Heidrick & Struggles and led by CFP Board COO K. Dane Snowden, the AI Working Group brings together financial and technology leaders to explore how the financial planning profession can rise to meet the challenges and opportunities of an AI-driven future. The group is examining emerging trends, real-world use cases and ethical considerations shaping AI adoption across the profession. From enhancing client experiences and streamlining advisor workflows to protecting public trust, the conversations reflect both the complexity and the promise of this pivotal moment. 

Discussion topics include the Current State of AI, Regulation and The Financial Planner Lens, as well as exercises on exploring future scenarios and evaluating key stakeholder implications. 

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption accelerates across industries, enterprises are under mounting pressure to innovate faster, without exposing themselves to new forms of cyber and regulatory risk. For highly regulated sectors like banking and healthcare, the stakes are especially high: fragmented infrastructure, evolving compliance demands, and vulnerable data pipelines can derail even the most promising digital initiatives. 

To address these challenges, ConceptVines, an AI-first innovation and transformation platform, has partnered with Neovera, the trusted advisor providing full cybersecurity and cloud services to enterprises. Together, the companies are bridging innovation and cyber risk management, delivering secure, compliant, and scalable AI deployments for clients across banking, healthcare, and complex enterprise environments. 

At the heart of the partnership is a four-stage cybersecurity flywheel that mirrors a clinical model: starting with vulnerability assessments, moving into advisory and design, followed by integration of next-gen security solutions such as Palo Alto Networks, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others, and ultimately evolving into managed SecOps for long-term resilience.

FINNY AI Inc. (“FINNY”), the AI-powered prospecting and marketing platform built specifically for financial advisors, today announced the launch of Intent Search, a feature that allows advisors to identify and engage with prospects actively seeking financial guidance. This release also includes Prospect Enrichment and AI Voicemails, two additional capabilities that equip advisors with faster, smarter tools to drive organic growth through FINNY’s all-in-one prospecting solution. 

The Intent Search feature represents a breakthrough in precision prospecting. Powered by 1.8 billion proprietary intent signals that are updated daily, it enables advisors to surface high-intent prospects based on real-time online behavior. Advisors can select keywords related to their services – like “401k rollovers”, “business succession planning”, “charitable giving” and more. FINNY identifies prospects who have recently researched those topics, pinpointing what they’re interested in and when they were actively searching. This allows for timely, targeted outreach based on actual behavior rather than guesswork. Searches are fully customizable, giving advisors the flexibility to layer in as much or as little criteria as needed to align with their prospecting strategy. 

Alongside Intent Search, FINNY has released its Prospect Enrichment and AI Voicemails features. Prospect Enrichment enables advisors to upload external contacts and automatically matches them to FINNY’s database. Each contact is enriched with key information like estimated net worth, interests or money-in-motion events, and assigned a predictive F-Score to prioritize high-potential leads and add them to personalized campaign lists. Meanwhile, AI Voicemails allow advisors to deliver ringless, personalized voicemails at scale. They can select from multiple voice options to suit their preferences, and messages are able to circumvent spam filters. Each voicemail can be paired with a follow-up email to create efficient outreach that retains a human touch.
