Why Financial Services Teams Choose ProQuest

ProQuest delivered Sully for Expert Wealth: an Agentforce agent that qualifies every new client, recommends the right financial planning package and books the initial meeting automatically. By the time an adviser picks up the phone, the client has already had a high-quality first experience.

That kind of outcome comes from understanding what Australian financial services compliance actually demands. APRA requirements, responsible lending obligations and AML monitoring aren't constraints to work around. They're part of how ProQuest designs the implementation from day one.

The results speak for themselves: Expert Wealth achieved 30% faster client onboarding with consistently high-quality first experiences for every new client.

The Challenges Facing Financial Services Teams Right Now

Client expectations

Digital transformation initiatives stall while legacy systems hold operations hostage. Client onboarding still requires paper forms and multiple branch visits.

Adviser capacity

Australia has lost 38% of its registered financial advisers since 2019. The teams that remain are managing more clients with less time, and the admin burden is only growing.

Compliance pressure

Financial services operates under some of the most demanding regulatory requirements of any industry, including APRA, responsible lending obligations and AML monitoring. Getting AI wrong in this environment is not an option.

Where Agentforce Delivers Value in Financial Services

Compliance and risk support

Salesforce Financial Services Cloud monitors transactional data to flag anomalies and support credit decisions, all within Salesforce. Everything remains auditable and aligned with APRA requirements.

Enquiry handling

Routine client questions are resolved instantly using approved knowledge sources, keeping response times fast and freeing the team for higher-value work.

Meeting preparation

Before every client meeting, Salesforce Financial Services Cloud surfaces the relevant account history, products and notes automatically. Advisers arrive prepared rather than spending time chasing information across systems.

Expert Wealth: Advice-First, Admin-Last

Expert Wealth wanted every client to feel like the firm had been preparing for their arrival. The reality was that advisers were spending too much time qualifying leads and not enough time delivering the customer experience for financial services that builds lasting relationships.

ProQuest built Sully, an Agentforce agent that handles the entire pre-meeting process: qualifying the prospect, assessing their goals, recommending the right planning package and booking the appointment. By the time an adviser picks up the phone, the conversation can start in the right place.

The results :
✓ 30% faster client onboarding
✓ 50% fewer touchpoints in the qualification and scheduling process
✓ A consistently high-quality first experience for every new client
✓ Advisers spending more time on advice and less on admin

"We started using Agentforce for increased productivity, but also to deliver additional value to the client that typically we would not have been able to do." Clinton Hatcher, Digital Innovation Manager, Expert Wealth

Built for Regulated Environments

Financial services teams operate under APRA requirements, responsible lending obligations and AML monitoring standards that govern how every client interaction must be handled. Customer experience implementations with ProQuest are designed with those compliance requirements built in from day one, so improving the experience never comes at the cost of compliance.
Every deployment is structured to support:
APRA compliance across data governance, access controls and auditability
Salesforce Financial Services Cloud operates within Salesforce's existing security and permission framework. There is no separate system to govern or trust.
Full audit trails, so every AI action is traceable, explainable and regulator-ready
AML monitoring, using Salesforce Financial Services Cloud to flag anomalies within existing Salesforce workflows
Responsible lending obligations, with AI-assisted credit assessment that keeps humans in control of final decisions

What Engagement Typically Looks Like

Organisations engage ProQuest to:
✔ Validate which Salesforce Financial Services Cloud use cases will deliver value fastest in their financial services environment
✔ Understand how Salesforce Financial Services Cloud fits within their existing Salesforce environment
✔ Design governance, escalation paths and controls from day one
✔ Roll out Salesforce Financial Services Cloud in phases that build confidence and adoption
✔ Avoid rework by learning from real-world financial services implementations
This is not about experimentation for its own sake. It is about building capability that works inside a regulated, high-stakes environment and scales responsibly from there.

FAQs

Is Salesforce Financial Services Cloud suitable for improving customer experience in financial services?

Yes. Salesforce Financial Services Cloud operates within Salesforce's existing security, permission and audit frameworks, which makes it well suited to APRA-regulated environments, licensed lenders and AFS licence holders. AI activity is traceable, explainable and governed. ProQuest designs every implementation with compliance requirements built in from the start.

Do we need to have our Salesforce data in perfect shape before starting?

No. Most organisations do not start with perfect data, and that is expected. A key part of early implementation work is identifying which use cases can safely deliver value with your current data, and where quality improvements will unlock further gains over time. Implementations are designed to work with reality, not idealised assumptions.

How quickly can we expect to see results?

Will Salesforce Financial Services Cloud replace our advisers or client-facing staff?

Can Salesforce Financial Services Cloud work across multiple Salesforce clouds, such as Financial Services Cloud and Service Cloud?

What makes ProQuest different from other Salesforce partners?

Value is often demonstrated within weeks when starting with focused, high-impact use cases. The typical approach is to validate a use case, prove value in a controlled scope, then expand as confidence grows. Expert Wealth achieved improvements in client onboarding and a consistently high-quality first experience for new clients. This was achieved without lengthy or disruptive implementation.
No. Salesforce Financial Services Cloud handles the routine, time-consuming tasks that pull advisers away from client work. The goal is to give your team more time for the conversations that require human judgement, relationships and expertise, not to remove them from the equation. The financial firms achieving the best results are using Salesforce Financial Services Cloud to make their people more effective, not fewer.
Yes. Salesforce Financial Services Cloud is built into the Salesforce platform, which means it works across Financial Services Cloud, Service Cloud, Sales Cloud and other products in your existing environment. ProQuest has experience deploying Salesforce Financial Services Cloud across complex, multi-cloud Salesforce setups and can advise on the right architecture for your team.
ProQuest was the first organisation in ANZ to sign an Salesforce Financial Services Cloud deal, which means deeper implementation experience in financial services than any other partner in the region. The team has delivered outcomes for wealth managers, banks and fintechs, and every implementation is designed with APRA, responsible lending and AML requirements in mind from day one, not as an afterthought.
