Where ADScanner differs
Delivery model
FIN sells outcomes: a named CCO, a signed annual review, exam representation. The platform is how we deliver, not the whole product.
Depth across entity types
FIN covers RIA, ERA, broker-dealer, and private fund programs — including Form PF, Form D, AML independent testing, and fund administration through FIN Books and FIN Audits.
Track record since 2012
Dozens of SEC, state, and FINRA examinations supported, with published pricing and a documented consultant procedure playbook behind each tier.
Which one should you pick?
Choose FIN ADScanner when…
You need the program owned — including exams, private fund filings, and AML testing — with modern tooling included rather than staffed around.
Choose Hadrius when…
You're a small, technology-forward RIA with someone in-house who wants to own the compliance program and just needs good software.
Frequently asked
Is FIN just consulting with software attached?
It's both, deliberately. RegReview, InvestPrep, and ADScanner are the systems our own team uses to deliver, which is why clients can license them directly or have us operate them.
