FIC Advisory was founded as a modern Nordic advisory firm. From the beginning, this required a modern way of running the business. To support senior expertise, fast decision-making, and client-centric delivery, FIC Advisory chose Crespect as the core system for its operations.
For the founders, technology was a deliberate choice to enable better advisory work and sustainable growth.
The challenge: advisory work slowed by outdated processes
Across professional-services firms, the same challenge persists. Highly skilled professionals spend too much time on administrative work instead of advising clients. Time tracking, invoice corrections, client intake, and compliance checks are often handled across disconnected systems.
Jan Willamo, co-founder of FIC Advisory, has seen this pattern repeatedly.
For nearly 25 years, I worked in various professional service firms, mainly in the legal industry, including as a Chief Digital Officer. I’ve seen first-hand what works and what doesn’t in professional-services operations.
Building a new advisory firm on legacy processes would have undermined FIC Advisory’s ambitions from the outset.
A conscious choice: Crespect as the operating backbone
When evaluating solutions, Crespect stood out because it is built specifically for service-minded and growth-driven firms. It is not generic business software adapted after the fact.
Crespect is not just another system. It brings matter management, client intake, compliance checks, time tracking, invoicing, and CRM into one coherent whole.
Equally important was the shared understanding of professional-services realities.
The Crespect team understands firms like ours. The platform comes from real professional-services experience, where both clients and their data are genuinely valued.
At Crespect, client data becomes structured insight that supports better decisions, stronger relationships, and proactive advisory work.
A supportive ecosystem that fits the firm
Crespect also supports FIC Advisory’s broader technology landscape through integrations that reflect how the firm operates in practice. Connections with Ilves MyActivities, Netvisor, and NetDocuments allow Crespect to serve as the central operating layer while working seamlessly with specialist systems.
This approach gives FIC Advisory flexibility without fragmentation and ensures reliable data flow across systems as the firm grows.
Scaling with quality and focus
By implementing Crespect from the outset, FIC Advisory expects to reduce manual administration, improve billing accuracy, and ensure compliance and client-management processes run smoothly as the firm scales.
With integrated CRM capabilities, FIC Advisory can maintain strong client relationships while identifying opportunities proactively.
We’re excited for the journey ahead, and Crespect is coming with us.
