What's your minimum account size?
What financial advisory firms need to publish
Prospects who don't fit the firm's typical client profile shouldn't waste time on a call that won't lead anywhere.
How customers actually ask it
The same intent arrives in wording your page probably does not use. All of these mean the same thing:
- “What's your minimum account size?”
- “do I have enough assets”
- “who do you work with”
- “client requirements”
What a complete answer contains
For financial advisory firms specifically, an answer is only complete when it covers all 4:
- 1
The real minimum, if any
- 2
What client profile the firm typically serves
- 3
Options for those below the minimum, if any exist
- 4
How to quickly self-assess fit
A worked example
Illustrative — not a real business
Our typical minimum is $250,000 in investable assets for ongoing wealth management. For those below that, we offer standalone financial planning engagements at a flat fee, which don't require a minimum — a good fit if you're earlier in building assets but want a real plan.
Which page should own it
Minimum account size and client fit page
What silence costs
A prospect who doesn't fit and finds out only after a sales call wastes time on both sides.

AI customer support for financial advisory firms
The single most consequential thing a prospective client can know about a financial advisor is how they're compensated and whether they're legally bound to a fiduciary standard — most people never ask, and the answer genuinely changes whose interest is being served. RubyRep discloses this proactively, answers general process questions fully, and never gives specific investment or allocation advice without an actual engagement.

What is AI customer service?
AI customer service means answering customer questions with a language model rather than a person. The useful implementations are grounded in a specific business's own content; the poor ones let a general model improvise, which produces confident answers that are wrong.

What is a knowledge base?
Traditionally a knowledge base is a help centre humans read. For AI support it is the source material a representative answers from — which means an ordinary website, well written, can serve as one without a separate help centre.
