There are many reasons to join our firm! And although we do have accountants that are associated with us, you don’t have to offer tax services to work with our firm. We are a firm started by an advisor for advisors. We strive to be the best strategic partners we can be in helping you to grow and manage your business.
1. You Will Own Your Own Business and Clients
It’s important to know that when joining our firm you will own 100% of your book of business from day one. There is nothing in our agreements requiring us to own it or that allows us to take it from you if you were to leave. Our firm was started by advisors for advisors. We want to be such a good platform that you wouldn’t think of using anyone else. We strive for a long term business relationship with our advisors. We are home to advisors who use us as a platform so they don’t have to deal with all the compliance nuances and can benefit from having time consuming administrative tasks taken off their shoulders.
2. The Ability to Run and Grow Your Business Your Way
Freedom freedom freedom. We strive to do everything we can to let you run your business YOUR way. We have to follow all rules and laws just like everybody else. We have to keep ourselves and you out of trouble. But we want to say yes to your needs and desires. It’s very easy for compliance departments to get complacent when an advisor has new marketing ideas or is trying to be innovative with their business. The compliance staff person may see it only as additional work and simply shrug it off with a quick no. When we get a request from you we ask “How can we say yes”.
3. We Offer Excellent Payouts
Our payouts are highly competitive. Let’s get on a phone call and discuss your business and what we can offer.
4. We Are Not For Sale!
You spend all that time building up your business and accounts, and then your platform gets sold. All of a sudden you have to redo all the paperwork for your accounts. Not fun.
5. We May Be Able to Help You Grow Your Business with Proprietary Lead Generation Programs
We currently have in house lead generation programs for certain advisors doing certain types of business. There is no one size fits all. If you are interested in our lead generation programs please inquire and we can see if they fit your business model and client type. One you could check out is our 401k Advisor Lead Program.
6. Dedicated to Technology and Being Paperless
Whenever possible we strive for everything to be esigned or taken care of digitally in the cloud. We also strive to make the latest technology and digital resources available to all advisors who wish to use them.
7. We Have Excellent Resources for Advisors
Are you looking to expand your office? We can help with educational resources to get your new advisors licensed. Our practice management consultants can provide practice growth resources and advice to help you take your business to the next level. We can provide mentorship to you if you are newer in the business and need help establishing your processes.
8. Succession Planning
Are you going to be retiring in the near future? We can help get you introduced to existing advisors who can acquire your business or buy it over time once you’re ready to call it quits. We can help set up continuity payout plans in the case of death or disability.
9. Transition assistance
We offer transition assistance for your firm. We can help with having all the paperwork properly filled out in advance so the day you pull the trigger everything can be sent out on day one. The goal is to have as little down time as possible.
10. A reasonable approach to compliance
How You Can Join Us
We find that most advisors are trending their business toward fee based business but we know that not everyone can drop that part of their business. We are set up as an RIA for fee based business and use a friendly broker dealer for any commission business you may have. So you could affiliate with our firm as an IAR with our RIA firm and be a fee based or fee only planner, or you could be dually registered and conduct commission and fee based business with our friendly broker dealer.
