Break-Away Advisor Consulting
We help advisors navigate the path to their ideal practice—whether that means transitioning to another wirehouse, joining an independent boutique, or moving to an RIA platform.
There is no cost to advisors for this service. We are compensated by the firms where advisors ultimately choose to go.
Buy, Sell or Merge a Practice
Whether you're a few years from retirement or actively growing your business, we have a broad network of potential buyers and sellers—including private equity firms, RIA aggregators, and broker-dealers with competitive book-buying programs.
There is no fee to value, list or sell a book. For buy-side or merger opportunities, our service fee is customized based on the transaction and may be shared between the buyer and seller.
Contingency Contracts for Firms
Contingency Contracts for Firms
We recruit on behalf of more than 50 firms across the industry—including broker-dealers, boutiques, RIAs, and custodians. Our agreements are contingency-based, meaning we only earn a fee when your firm hires one of our candidates. There is no cost for introductions alone.
To maintain objectivity and ensure the best advisor-to-firm matches, we do not work on a retainer basis.
Why Club Level Consulting
Choosing the right firm is one of the most important decisions you'll face in your career, but...
For many advisors, this can feel like uncharted territory. However, when you choose to work with us, we will dedicate significant time to understand you, your ideal business, and your goals. We’ll ask challenging questions and provide clear answers that are essential for your business's success. By partnering with us, you'll gain the knowledge to:
- Ask the right questions
- Save time and energy
- Narrow down your options
- Negotiate the best deal
- Select the right fit
Importantly, we don’t represent just one or a few firms; we work with 50+ wealth management firms - wires, IBDs, boutiques and RIAs - each offering unique value propositions. Once we identify your "must haves" from your "nice to haves," we can collaboratively narrow down the options to the firms that will best serve you, your clients, and your team.
