When Financial Advisors change jobs or more their businesses, we know it is a big decision that is made quietly. We want to give you the information to make sure it is a wise one as well.

The M&A market is active, with a lot of buyers, a lot of sellers, and a lot more questions. What is a fair multiple? What type of deal structure is fair? What is the typical arrangement for the Advisor of the practice being acquired?

Going totally independent is a challenging move with robust benefits. Should you go independent? How should you do it? What are the costs and benefits?

About Our Compensation Analyzer Tool:

  • Data in our compensation tool is comprised from information we have from real Firms and the knowledge we have on their compensation structure. They are not intended to reflect industry averages, rather the actual opportunities available to the best of our knowledge.

  • We attempt to incorporate all information into the tool to demonstrate to the Advisor what the "True Net Payout" to them would be in each scenario. While each opportunity is unique and may be negotiable, we include as many factors as possible to reflect the most accurate information.

  • This tool is free to use to help Advisors learn more about the market for their business. If you would like to learn more about specific opportunities and discuss the best fit for your practice, we would love to have a one-on-one conversation to help you further narrow your search.
