FinTurk Launches AI CRM with $8B Chicago Partners
FinTurk, an AI-first CRM built specifically for financial advisors, announced its official launch and a partnership with Chicago Partners Wealth Advisors, a registered investment advisor managing over $8 billion in client assets across more than 50 advisors. Founded by former advisor Mitchell Bratina, CFA (CEO), FinTurk combines portfolio management, workflow automation and native AI to provide advisor-aligned workflows including AI-powered meeting preparation, note-taking, automated client reviews, portfolio tracking and end-to-end workflow automation. Chicago Partners transitioned to FinTurk in Q1 2026 and will serve as the platform’s first enterprise customer and active design partner, reporting reduced prep time and improved meeting notes. The platform advertises seamless integrations with existing advisory tech stacks (portfolio management, document management, productivity and communication tools) and customizable data fields to centralize advisor operations and reduce administrative burden.
Product launch and vendor–client partnership in the financial advisory vertical are relevant to MarTech/CRM vendors but represent a niche commercial development with limited broader AdTech industry impact.
