NFA trusts made manageable.

Managing multiple responsible persons across multiple submissions is the biggest administrative headache in NFA ownership. We solved it.

One profile. Every form.

Set up each responsible person once — name, DOB, address, passport photo, fingerprint card. Generate their RPQ for any new submission in one click.

The submission matrix.

A visual grid showing every responsible person against every active form. Green means complete. Red means blocking. You always know exactly what's missing.

Smart alerts.

Get notified when fingerprint cards are aging, when CLEO addresses change after elections, when a new trust member's documents are incomplete.
