Incoming Call
Maple Leaf Wealth Advisors
"Good afternoon, thank you for calling Maple Leaf Wealth Advisors. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help you connect with an advisor or request a consultation. Are you an existing client, or are you interested in learning about our services?"
"I'd be happy to arrange a complimentary financial planning consultation. To match you with the right advisor, may I ask what your primary financial goals are? For example, retirement planning, investment management, or estate planning?"

Financial Advisory Glossary
Key terms that Canadian financial advisors, wealth managers, and their clients encounter regularly. Vocatively understands these concepts to provide intelligent call handling.
RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan)
A Canadian tax-advantaged retirement savings account. Contributions are tax-deductible, and investments grow tax-deferred until withdrawal. Financial advisors commonly handle consultation requests for RRSP contribution strategies, especially before the annual deadline.
TFSA (Tax-Free Savings Account)
A Canadian registered account where investment income and withdrawals are tax-free. Advisors help clients optimize TFSA contributions alongside RRSPs as part of comprehensive financial planning.
Mutual Fund
A pooled investment vehicle managed by a professional portfolio manager. Mutual fund advisors regulated by the MFDA in Canada often receive calls about fund performance, switches, and redemptions.
ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund)
An investment fund traded on stock exchanges that holds a basket of assets. ETFs have grown in popularity among Canadian investors for their low fees and diversification, driving more advisory calls about portfolio construction.
Portfolio Review
A scheduled meeting between a financial advisor and their client to assess investment performance, rebalance holdings, and adjust strategy based on changing goals or market conditions. Portfolio reviews are one of the most common meeting request types captured by Vocatively.
KYC (Know Your Client)
A regulatory requirement for financial advisors to collect and verify client information including financial situation, investment knowledge, risk tolerance, and investment objectives before making recommendations. KYC is mandated by IIROC and the MFDA.
Suitability Assessment
The process by which a financial advisor evaluates whether a specific investment product or strategy is appropriate for a client based on their KYC information. Suitability obligations are enforced by Canadian securities regulators.
Financial Plan
A comprehensive document outlining a client's current financial situation, goals, and the strategies recommended to achieve those goals. Financial plans typically cover retirement, tax optimization, estate planning, insurance, and investment management.
Estate Planning
The process of arranging for the management and distribution of a person's assets after death. Financial advisors coordinate with estate lawyers and accountants to create strategies involving wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and beneficiary designations.
Power of Attorney (POA)
A legal document authorizing someone to act on another person's behalf in financial or personal care matters. Financial advisors often discuss POA arrangements as part of comprehensive estate and retirement planning.
RESP (Registered Education Savings Plan)
A Canadian tax-advantaged savings plan for post-secondary education. Contributions receive government grants (CESG). Advisors frequently field calls from parents about RESP contributions, grant eligibility, and withdrawal rules.
PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)
Canada's federal privacy legislation governing how private-sector organizations collect, use, and disclose personal information. Financial advisory firms must comply with PIPEDA when handling client data, including phone communications.
Frequently Asked Questions About AI Receptionists for Financial Advisors
Everything you need to know about using Vocatively as your financial advisory AI receptionist, virtual phone answering service, and client qualification tool.
How does Vocatively qualify financial advisory leads over the phone?
Vocatively uses customizable qualification scripts to ask callers about their investment goals, approximate portfolio size, timeline, and the services they are interested in (retirement planning, wealth management, estate planning, etc.). Qualified leads are flagged with priority and routed to the appropriate advisor based on your rules. This ensures your advisors spend time only with prospects who match your ideal client profile.
Is Vocatively PIPEDA compliant for Canadian financial advisory firms?
Yes. Vocatively is fully PIPEDA compliant. All data is stored in Canadian data centres (Toronto). Call recordings are stored securely with caller consent and auto-purged after 90 days. Caller phone numbers are stored with encryption. Call summaries are delivered via encrypted email and SMS. Vocatively is operated by Sirrius Office Inc., a Canadian company.
Can the AI receptionist handle portfolio review and financial planning meeting requests?
Absolutely. Vocatively captures meeting requests for portfolio reviews, retirement planning consultations, insurance reviews, and strategy sessions. The AI collects caller preferences and delivers a structured summary to your dashboard. Your team confirms the meeting and updates your calendar.
How does Vocatively handle calls during market volatility or after hours?
Vocatively answers every call 24/7, including during periods of market volatility when call volumes spike. It can provide reassuring, pre-approved responses, take detailed messages for urgent matters, and capture callback requests for the appropriate advisor. After-hours calls from international clients in different time zones are handled seamlessly.
Does Vocatively understand MFDA, IIROC, and provincial securities regulations?
Vocatively does not provide financial advice or make investment recommendations. It is configured to handle administrative tasks like capturing meeting requests, lead qualification, and message-taking. It is aware of regulatory boundaries and will never make claims about returns, recommend products, or provide suitability advice. All interactions stay within compliant administrative scope.
Can I customize the AI receptionist for my specific financial advisory practice?

You control the greeting, qualification questions, advisor routing rules, meeting request preferences, and the types of inquiries the AI can handle. Whether you specialize in retirement planning, estate planning, insurance, or comprehensive wealth management, the AI adapts to your practice.
What happens if a caller needs to speak with a human advisor immediately?
Vocatively can transfer urgent calls directly to an advisor or designated team member based on your escalation rules. You define what constitutes an urgent call (e.g., existing client with time-sensitive matter, large portfolio inquiry), and the AI follows those rules. Non-urgent calls are captured with detailed messages and callback requests delivered to your dashboard.

Vocatively offers three plans: Starter at $49 CAD/month (75 calls included), Professional at $149 CAD/month (250 calls, multi-location support), and Business at $299 CAD/month (600 calls, custom AI training, dedicated onboarding). All plans include a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. Spam calls are filtered free and never counted.
Can Vocatively handle calls for multiple advisors in the same firm?

This is ideal for independent advisory firms with multiple licensed professionals.
Does Vocatively integrate with financial planning software or CRMs?
Vocatively provides call summaries and lead data via your secure dashboard. While direct CRM integrations are on the roadmap, you can currently export data and receive structured notifications that make it easy to update your client management system.

Our onboarding team helps configure compliance-appropriate scripts for the Canadian financial services industry.
Will callers know they are speaking with an AI?
Vocatively is transparent with callers. The AI identifies itself honestly and does not claim to be a human. This is consistent with PIPEDA transparency principles and builds trust with your clients.
