Broker Dealer Software: Commission, Accounting, FOCUS IIA, SSOI

BDOS is a comprehensive back office software solution, created specifically for introducing broker dealers.  We know the need for accurate commission calculations and have met that need for over 25 years. But, commissions represent only a portion of total back office activity. Other major back office components include:

  • accounting (general ledger)
  • FOCUS IIA and SSOI (compliance)
  • books and records

BDOS is easy to setup and use.  Check the sidebar – BDOS STEP BY STEP – for guidance in scope, setup and operation to see how BDOS can be seamlessly incorporated in your back office.

You can use BDOS to meet all of your back office needs.  Plus, we also offer outsourced FINOP services through BDOS-FINOP.   As such, we provide the most comprehensive back office solution in the industry.  With BDOS, you can optimize your back office operations and maximize your productivity at a very reasonable cost.

Compliance

The Net Capital Computation, FOCUS, SSOI and Audit Trail, tightly integrated General Ledger, and Trading System are the strongest BDOS compliance features. But, there are other significant compliance components:

  • rep license and registration for each trade
  • commissions for non insurance trades and blue sky
  • cash receipt and disbursement blotters
  • checks received and deposited blotter
  • customer ledger (Securities Transactions)
  • confirmations
  • purchase and sales blotters
  • fails to receive
  • fails to deliver

Control

If your back office uses Quick Books or Excel there is  a high probability of user error and you may spend a significant amount of time resolving data entry problems.  Further, unless you are competent in these packages, you have relinquished control to the person that operates them.  BDOS fully addresses the control issue.

Your back office needs can best be met by using BDOS and BDOS-FINOP.  We have provided precision results to broker dealers since 1989.  In fact, three of our current clients have used BDOS for over 25 years.
