A Cleanlist AI audit of HubSpot Contacts · 1,284 records. The scan flags a duplicate record, a bounced email, empty title and phone fields and two unformatted or stale titles.

How does Cleanlist AI clean your financial services contact data?
Cleanlist AI provides data cleaning purpose-built for financial services compliance requirements. It verifies advisor and client emails, standardizes firm names and CRD numbers, removes duplicates across business units and logs every change it makes. For wealth management and insurance prospecting, it checks advisor records against several sources to confirm the current firm, license status and contact details.
Why this is hard to do by hand
Financial services firms (wealth managers, banks, insurance brokers, fintechs) need accurate, auditable contact records for compliance, and the data keeps moving: advisors change broker-dealers, relationship managers switch banks, and clients update their details. FINRA and SEC examinations look more and more at data governance, so a firm that can't show a systematic data quality process carries regulatory risk on top of the cost of dirty data.
Financial advisors change firms at 12% a year, so contact data is a compliance risk
12%annual advisor turnover rate across broker-dealers
Cerulli Associates' 2025 Advisor Metrics report found that 12% of financial advisors changed broker-dealer in the past year, rising to 15% among advisors with under 10 years of experience. If you sell to advisors (asset managers, platform providers, insurance carriers), that turnover makes a list go stale quickly. An advisor who moves from Edward Jones to Raymond James has a new work email, office phone and mailing address on day one. If your database still shows the old firm, compliance may be sending regulatory notices to a dead address. It shows up in sales too: a pitch that names the advisor's old firm tells them your data is out of date. Cleanlist AI catches firm changes by checking BrokerCheck data, business contact databases and email verification in its waterfall.

How it works.
- 01
Upload your contact database
Upload your advisor, broker or client list as a CSV. Cleanlist AI recognizes the industry's fields, including CRD number, firm name, FINRA registration status, series licenses and office location.
- 02
Audit for compliance issues
Cleanlist AI scans for the issues that affect compliance reporting: duplicate records, advisors listed at a firm they've left, and emails at those old firms.
- 03
Confirm each advisor's firm
Advisor records are checked against BrokerCheck, SEC IARD and B2B contact databases for current firm, registration status and office address. Anyone who has moved since your last update gets flagged.
- 04
Standardize and dedupe
Firm names get one form ('Merrill Lynch' and 'Merrill, a Bank of America Company' become one), CRD numbers and phone formats are standardized, and duplicates are merged across business units, product lines and territories.
- 05
Verify emails and phone numbers
Every email and phone number is checked. Compliance teams need advisor notices and regulatory messages to reach a live address.
- 06
Export with a change log
Download the cleaned file with a change log of every edit: the field, the old value, the new value and when it changed. Hand it to compliance reviewers or your data governance team.

How accurate is Cleanlist AI's data?
Cleanlist AI returned 98% verified work emails and 85% phone numbers on our 500-lead benchmark, pulling from 25+ data providers. Each lookup stops at the first deliverable result, meaning a verified or likely-valid email.
What do I get when I sign up?
A 14-day Pro trial: 250 credits, 3 seats, and every Pro feature. After it, the Free plan gives you 50 credits a month. A verified work email costs 1 credit, a phone number 10, and a miss nothing.
What data providers does Cleanlist AI use?
Cleanlist AI runs a waterfall across 25+ B2B data providers. For each record it asks one, moves to the next when that one has no match, and stops at the first deliverable result.
Can I connect my CRM?
Yes. HubSpot and Salesforce sync both ways on the Pro and Enterprise plans, and Salesloft and Lemlist take a one-way push. You can also upload a CSV, or use the REST API from Pro.
Does Cleanlist AI have good coverage for my industry?
Coverage varies by industry, so Cleanlist AI asks 25+ providers in sequence until one returns a deliverable result. On our 500-lead benchmark, Cleanlist AI returned 98% verified work emails and 85% phone numbers.
Is Cleanlist AI compliant with FINRA and SEC data handling requirements?
Cleanlist AI processes data with encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, and comprehensive audit logging. Our data handling practices are designed to be consistent with FINRA Rule 3110 recordkeeping requirements and SEC data governance guidelines. We do not store your data permanently, files are processed and deleted within 30 days unless you request earlier deletion.
Can Cleanlist AI verify if a financial advisor is still registered with their listed firm?
Yes. Cleanlist AI checks advisor records against several sources that track broker-dealer affiliation and registration. When an advisor has moved, it flags the record, updates the firm if the new one is known, and marks the old firm email as likely invalid.
Does Cleanlist AI provide a change log for compliance audits?
Yes. Every cleaning run produces a change log with the record, the field, the old and new values, the time of the change and the source behind it. Export it as CSV or PDF for your compliance records.
