About This Opportunity

This 16-year-old, planning centric practice is a fee-only registered investment adviser with a virtual service model and a client concentration in the Southeast. Specializing in retirement planning, the practice provides a high touch, personalized client experience to 27 households with a focus on supporting clients’ long term personal and financial goals. And they provide investment-only service to an additional 17 households. The firm employs a passive investment strategy to all 44 households utilizing exchanged-traded funds with an emphasis on asset allocation, global diversification and rebalancing. Their value proposition is framed upon behavioral guidance for great long-term outcomes, a dynamical approach that maximizes retirement income and advanced planning to minimize lifetime taxes. They utilize eMoney, MoneyGuide Pro, Holistiplan and Income Lab, and meet with planning households twice per year for reviews and updates, with additional engagements as determined by client needs. This firm also closely collaborates with its clients’ accountants, tax and legal professionals.

The firm's principal is looking for a continuity partner in case of death or permanent disability. The ideal partner is a retirement specialist that is thoughtful, client focused, a full-time fiduciary, and fee-only (preferably a NAPFA member).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a continuity partner matching opportunity?

This is a chance to become a partner in a buy-sell agreement with another firm, covering scenarios like death or disability. This service, provided by FP Transitions, matches advisors together who are seeking continuity protections but do not have prospective partners in their existing networks. Introductions are made by reviewing detailed inquiry messages and determining the most appropriate match.

 

What does the continuity partner matching process look like?

Based on your inquiry and match strength, we will share your information with potential partners. If they are interested, they will reach out to you directly. Before any conversations, both parties will need to sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement to protect your information.

 

How do I inquire about a continuity partner match opportunity?

First, review the details about the prospective partner firm. Then, click "Inquire Now" at the bottom of the page. Complete the form, providing a clear and concise explanation of why you believe you are a good fit for the opportunity.

 

Are EMS™ member inquiries prioritized?

No, all inquiries submitted are reviewed and considered regardless of paid membership status. That being said, EMS™ members receive priority notification and tend to be more successful in moving forward in the process because their membership services improve their business’s ability to meet seller criteria and submit a well-articulated inquiry. EMS™ members have taken action to monitor value and improve their business which not only produces a more valuable candidate but demonstrates the businesses commitment to growth. Through their membership, they also have access to consultants that help them to build a targeted acquisition strategy–including continuity partnerships–and how to match their priorities with the details of a listing to give them a good idea of a match before they inquire.

 

Additionally, EMS™ members can access inquiry support which makes them better able to articulate their fit in an inquiry message and tailor it to the specific acquisition or continuity partner match opportunity.

 

How long will it be before I hear back about my inquiry?

You will receive a confirmation once your inquiry is received. It will be shared with the potential partner for review, and they will contact you directly using the provided contact information.

 

Do I need to have a continuity plan in place before I submit a continuity partner match inquiry?

Having a continuity plan is not required, but it is highly recommended. Click https://www.fptransitions.com/EMS™ to become an EMS™ member and get your continuity plan in place.

 

What qualifications should a continuity partner have?

A potential partner should be willing and able to commit to a buy-sell agreement based on the provided information from the partner-seeking business.

 

Is a continuity partner the same as a succession partner?

No, a continuity partner specifically covers scenarios like death or disability. However, some agreements may include a right of first offer if the business is sold.
