Case Study: Alpha Architect achieves SEC compliance, $300K annual savings, and scalable operations with Smartsheet

Alpha Architect stays SEC compliant with Smartsheet

Alpha Architect is a small asset management firm managing about $300M that needed to compete with much larger, global firms. To stay efficient and compliant while keeping overhead low, the company sought a simple, auditable way to manage SEC compliance, CRM, trading calendars, and operational workflows.

By implementing Smartsheet as a single source of truth, Alpha Architect centralized a master compliance calendar with timestamped activity, automated CRM intake and outreach (integrated with MailChimp), and set alerts and daily reports for trade and lead follow-up. The result: a best‑in‑class, scalable compliance program, elimination of significant paper and legal overhead (about $300K saved annually), no need to add two new hires, and a platform that can grow with the business without proportional increases in staff or costs.
