Tom R. – Independent Financial Advisor, Book Sale $235M AUM
Ten years before his planned advisor retirement, Tommy hired a junior associate with the goal of internal succession. Over time, however, it became clear that the associate lacked the leadership qualities needed for long-term success. With guidance from Advisor Hunt™, Tommy made the tough decision to seek a more qualified buyer via a structured wealth management M&A process. This led to a smooth sale to a high-performing team supported by a dealer platform with strong technology and transition resources.
Outcome:
● 98% client asset retention.
● Full payout received within two years.
● Ethical and financially successful advisor succession planning.
