Understanding the Value
of Your Business
Determining the value of your business is the fundamental step for any course of action, whether it involves selling (internally or externally), acquisitions, enhancing structures and systems, or building a strong team. This allows you to map out a path to realize your business vision.
Six Steps to Creating an
Effective Continuity Plan
The greatest risk to an independent advisory practice isn't the absence of a succession or exit strategy; rather, it's the absence of a plan to safeguard client interests and business value in the event of an owner's unexpected death or disability. Despite this, only a small number of practice owners have established a dependable continuity plan.
Identifying Key
Successor Traits
To identify optimal successors for your business, start by assessing your current team and watching for essential traits. Keep in mind that effective ownership teams frequently comprise multiple next-generation owners to capitalize on diverse strengths and ideas for business enhancement.
Structuring Ownership Compensation
Compensation is a key component to a firm. With that, advisors and owners alike often encounter a multitude of questions concerning it. How to reward your employees, and yourself, is crutial to the success of the firm in question.

A Valuation for
Every Scenario
Valuations vary widely. In today's market, owners, sellers, and buyers are inundated with crucial information to consider. While data provides the "what," a valuation also requires the "why."
Succession & Growth Consulting
Success often hinges on a keen grasp of your firm’s core strengths and areas for improved efficiencies. Succession could be the answer for effective growth. It becomes especially crucial for financial firms navigating the evolving landscape.
Continuity Strategies
Advisory practices should create or augment their plans based on current needs and future goals. While all arrangements contribute to a smooth transition of leadership during unforeseen circumstances, some options are more advantageous than others.
