Platform Search
You built something worth protecting. The decision about where to take it next deserves more than a pitch from a firm recruiter. We evaluate 50+ independent BDs and RIAs using the 6C Framework.
- 6C Framework evaluation across all six dimensions
- Side-by-side comparison of aligned platforms
- Economic modeling: 3, 5, and 10-year projections
- 180 days of post-placement support
No cost to advisors. Our fee is paid by the receiving firm.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Practice multiples are at historic highs. Most advisors don't know what their practice is worth. We work with advisors on both sides of the table.
- Enterprise value assessment and strategic positioning
- Buyer or partner identification based on alignment
- Deal structure guidance: W-2, equity, earnout, full acquisition
- Negotiation support and due diligence coordination
Succession Planning
The advisors who end up with the best succession outcomes are almost never the ones who started planning last. We help advisors build a plan before circumstances force one.
- Practice readiness assessment
- Internal successor identification and development
- Phased transition and equity partnership structuring
- Continuity planning for unexpected transitions
