What does Orion Advisor Solutions offer?
Orion's platform is designed as an integrated, connected technology ecosystem rather than a collection of standalone tools, with each component built or acquired to work within a unified data layer. Its capabilities include:
- Redtail CRM — an advisor-focused customer relationship management system acquired in 2022 and holding the number-one market share position in the advisor CRM segment according to the T3 Inside Information Software Survey 2024
- portfolio accounting and reporting, including the firm's core portfolio management system used for billing, performance reporting, and household-level oversight
- financial planning software, incorporating behavioural finance tools to help advisors engage clients around goals and risk tolerance
- trading and rebalancing tools with multi-custodian support and integrations with Schwab Advisor Center and other custodial platforms
- compliance management software, including enterprise reporting features for large RIAs, aggregators, and broker-dealers
- Denali AI — an enterprise intelligence platform launched in late 2025 that ingests data from Orion, Redtail, custodians, and third-party sources to generate a unified data layer for advisors; includes AI-powered meeting agenda generation and lead management tools
- Brinker Capital Investments — a turnkey asset management platform (TAMP) and investment management division, acquired through a 2020 merger, offering managed account programmes and model portfolios
- outsourced CIO (OCIO) services through TownSquare Capital, acquired in 2022
Orion also holds the number-one market-share position for both portfolio accounting software and all-in-one software programmes for advisors, per the T3 Inside Information Software Survey 2024, and 17 of the top 20 Barron's RIA firms use Orion's technology, per the firm's own disclosures.
Orion Advisor Solutions in the market
Orion competes in the wealthtech sector against a fragmented set of specialists — Salesforce and Redtail (now part of Orion itself) in CRM, eMoney and MoneyGuidePro in planning, Tamarac and Addepar in portfolio management, and iCapital and others in alternative investment access — as well as all-in-one platform competitors such as Envestnet. Its strategy has been to acquire best-in-class point solutions and connect them through a shared data architecture, enabling advisors to manage their entire practice from prospect to client reporting within a single technology environment. The firm's acquisition of Summit Wealth Systems in January 2025 added data orchestration and advisor experience capabilities to that stack.
The firm positions itself partly on growth outcomes: Orion reported that its clients grew organically nearly 40% faster than non-Orion firms in 2025, a figure attributed to the combined effect of connected technology, embedded AI, and integrated workflows that reduce the time advisors spend on operational tasks. That claim, derived from Orion's own data, forms the core of the platform's value proposition to advisors deciding between building a technology stack from multiple vendors versus consolidating on a single platform provider.
Orion's investment in AI, culminating in the 2025 launch of the Denali AI enterprise platform, reflects the broader industry shift toward artificial intelligence as a differentiator in wealthtech. Denali's data layer approach — aggregating inputs from multiple systems into a single intelligence source — positions the firm to serve both individual advisory practices and enterprise clients such as broker-dealers and aggregators that need consistent data governance across large advisor populations. Orion's 2026 WealthTech Survey found that most financial advisors said their firms would focus on optimising technology integration and using AI in 2026, underscoring the strategic relevance of both investments.
