ARQA Secures Dual Finalist Spots at 2026 Wealthies Awards

ARQA, an AI-native wealth management platform, has secured finalist positions in two categories for the 2026 Wealth Management Industry Awards. The nominations highlight the firm’s KorScript data extraction technology in the document management sector, alongside a CEO of the Year nod for co-founder Haik Sahakyan.

The recognition follows a string of industry honors for the Miami-based company, including a win in the Disruptors category at last year’s ceremony. This year, judges focused on the practical application of the firm's proprietary KorScript layer, which automates document retrieval and data validation to feed intelligent AI agents. Co-founder Pete DiLorenzo emphasized that this infrastructure is essential for moving beyond simple experimentation, as it converts raw documents into structured data capable of executing complex workflows.

Since debuting its AI assistant in 2024, the company has consistently appeared on industry watchlists, including the AIFinTech100 and Nasdaq Fintech Trailblazer rankings. The Wealth Management Industry Awards, managed by Informa, will announce the final winners at a gala in New York City on September 10th. According to David Armstrong, managing director of editorial and content strategies, the selection process prioritized firms demonstrating increased sophistication in helping advisors manage sustainable business models.
