Chicago financial advisors serve traders, executives, business owners and multigenerational families in a city built on markets. ITServices.Tech runs IT as a managed service for Chicago financial advisors, from user help and threat protection to backup and the long-range technology roadmap.
Wealth management in a markets city
Chicago is home to major futures and options exchanges, large trading firms, a historic trust bank and leading investment research firms. Advisors in the Loop, River North and the North Shore serve traders, corporate executives, family business owners and families with wealth built over generations.
Illinois and SEC registration
Smaller investment advisers register with the Securities Department of the Illinois Secretary of State, and larger ones with the SEC, whose Regulation S-P now requires incident response, vendor oversight and customer notice after its 2024 amendments. We provide technical safeguards and records; your compliance officer owns the policies.
Trust and estate planning
Families with trusts, foundations and multiple generations need careful control over who sees what. Separate portal access for each family member, permissions by relationship in the CRM and secure sharing with attorneys and accountants keep information in the right hands.
Biometrics and client verification
Voice or face verification for clients can help stop impersonation, but in Illinois it falls under BIPA and requires notice and written consent. We help you weigh those tools against simpler options like call-backs and passkeys.
Archiving
We capture approved communication channels, block others on firm devices and keep records searchable for exams.

Illinois data rules to know
Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) regulates fingerprint and face data, which matters for biometric time clocks.
