TLDR: Jump, a prominent provider of AI solutions for financial advisors, has completed its first acquisition by purchasing Mobile Assistant, a leading transcription service for advisors. This strategic move aims to integrate Mobile Assistant’s dictation-based transcription services to further automate advisor workflows, improve client relationships, and strengthen Jump’s AI capabilities within the financial sector. The acquisition follows a year of significant growth for Jump, including a $20 million Series A funding round and widespread adoption by nearly 20,000 advisors.
Jump, a Salt Lake City, UT-based company, has announced its acquisition of Mobile Assistant, a leader in advisor transcription services. This marks Jump’s inaugural acquisition, a strategic move designed to enhance its artificial intelligence (AI) leadership within the financial services industry. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Jump’s award-winning AI platform is already widely utilized by nearly 20,000 advisors, including enterprise clients such as Merit Financial Advisors and Sanctuary Wealth. The platform automates critical tasks like meeting preparation, note-taking, compliance documentation, customer relationship management (CRM) updates, client recaps, and follow-up tasks, effectively reducing hours of administrative work to mere minutes. Beyond automation, Jump provides intelligent insights to help advisors deepen client relationships and make more informed decisions. The platform is designed to be deeply integrated, fully customizable, and built with compliance and AI safety at its core, enabling firms to scale efficiently and elevate the advisor-client experience in the evolving age of AI.
Mobile Assistant, founded in 2009 by CEO Corey Westphal, has a strong reputation for pioneering accurate and secure dictation-based transcription services for financial advisors. The company has successfully supported thousands of advisors in documenting client conversations, creating compliance-ready records, and streamlining back-office operations.
Parker Ence, co-founder and CEO of Jump, expressed enthusiasm for the acquisition, stating, ‘Mobile Assistant has a stellar reputation for accuracy and a deep commitment to helping advisors. We’re thrilled to carry its legacy into the AI era. Customers can expect a smooth transition with full support from the Jump team.’ Corey Westphal, founder and CEO of Mobile Assistant, echoed this sentiment, remarking, ‘Mobile Assistant has always been driven by our core values of quality, innovation and partnerships. Joining forces with Jump ensures our customers get the trusted reliability we’re known for, plus powerful new AI solutions that will positively impact their practices.’

This acquisition comes at a crucial time for the wealth management industry, which is currently navigating accelerating RIA independence, the impending $84 trillion great wealth transfer, and increasing pressure for firms to differentiate through superior client experiences. Jump’s growth trajectory has been significant, marked by a recent $20 million Series A funding round and expanded partnerships with key industry players such as Osaic, LPL Financial, Cetera, eMoney, and RightCapital. Both companies share a ‘people-first philosophy,’ focusing on developing technology that augments human interaction rather than replacing it, further solidifying Jump’s position at the forefront of AI integration in financial advisory workflows.
