Here’s an explanation of how we are compensated for our services.

We designed the business model of Transition To RIA to be simple and transparent.

In most cases there will be no cost to you.

Here’s how it works.

We have long-standing referral relationships with all the major custodians, friendly broker/dealers, as well as RIAs we have found to have attractive value propositions for our advisor audience.

As we work through the process together to determine the best path for your practice, by allowing us to introduce you to (as applicable) these solution providers, you in turn get our services for free. They pay us a referral fee if/when you ultimately use their services.

We work for you, but someone else picks up the cost of our entire consultative process.

Notably, and by design, we do not accept paid referral relationships from compliance vendors, attorneys, marketing firms, tech companies, etc. Unlike needing a custodian and/or RIA to utilize, these other variables are resources you may or may not need.

Hence, while part of our value proposition is helping you select the entire spectrum of solution providers ultimately needed for your transition, we limit our paid referral relationships to only the services every advisory practice essentially must utilize.

For the occasional circumstance where the above arrangement is not applicable, we have consulting packages where you would pay us directly for our services. In the rare instance where that is the scenario, we will always inform you early in the process.

We trust that you will find our explanation here to be a demonstration of our professionalism and commitment to transparency with the clients we work with.

If you nonetheless still have questions, we are always happy to answer them.
