Sample dossier — for pitching
What an advisor sees before accepting a match.
Every Be Aligned match starts with an anonymized dossier like the one below. No name, no firm affiliation, no contact information — only the substance an advisor needs to decide whether the fit is real.
The sample data on this page is illustrative. Real dossiers are generated from the investor's completed profile.

Goals & preferences
- Investment philosophy
- Low-cost, globally diversified core with room for measured tactical positioning. Comfortable with index-based portfolios; skeptical of high-fee active management.
- Risk nature
- Moderate-to-growth. Long horizon on retirement assets; more conservative on funds earmarked for a home purchase in ~5 years.
- Upside expectation (market +20%)
- Comfortable participating in ~70–80% of the upside.
- Downside tolerance (market –20%)
- Would like to see the portfolio down meaningfully less than the index — willing to give up some upside for that.
- Willing to pay more for performance
- Only if net-of-fee results justify it — otherwise prefers passive.
Planning gaps & near-term events
- Past liquidity event
- Partial secondary sale of employer stock, 2023
- Upcoming liquidity event
- Vesting cliff in ~14 months, ~$1.4M pre-tax
- Basic will in place
- Yes — last updated 2019, likely stale
- Estate planning
- No trust structure; no formal gifting strategy; unclear beneficiary designations on older accounts
Advisor fit
- Ideal service model
- Fee-only fiduciary. Wants a real planning relationship — tax, estate, and equity comp coordinated — not just portfolio management. Prefers a lead advisor with a small support team over a rotating call center.
- Dislikes from prior advisors
- Product pitches, commission-based recommendations, and vague quarterly reviews with no forward planning.
- Communication cadence
- Quarterly formal review, ad-hoc as needed
Why we're routing this to you
Written by the Be Aligned matching team based on your practice profile.
- Fit rationale
- Concentrated single-stock exposure plus a scheduled vesting event within 18 months maps to your stated specialty in equity comp planning. Household is in your primary metro. Fee-only, planning-led service model aligns with how you describe your practice.
- What's missing / opportunity
- Estate documents are stale and no trust structure exists despite two dependents and a growing balance sheet — likely a meaningful early-relationship win.
What happens next (in production)
- 1. You have 48 hours to accept, pass, or request clarification.
- 2. If you accept, the investor sees your anonymized profile and decides whether to move forward.
- 3. Only when both sides opt in are names, firm details, and contact information exchanged.
- 4. The investor is billed the intro fee at that point — never you.
