Questions firms ask

Last updated: October 2026

Why household level?

When assets are placed across accounts for tax reasons, each account drifts on purpose. Checking the household avoids false alarms.

Where does the account data come from?

From the custodian and portfolio data your firm already receives each day, such as positions, balances and transactions.

How long does it take to set up?

5 working days from data access to the first production run. PitCrew experts connect your systems and enter your firm's rules.
