Independent CFPs and small advisory firms compete against wirehouses, robo-advisors, and other independents. Every brokerage promises to 'put you first.'

Our work with CFPs tends to focus on:
Independent advisor came to us with a generalist position.

Inbound interest from the right prospects within the first quarter.

Yes. Fee-only positioning is one of the cleaner stories to market in financial services. We know how to lean into it without sounding preachy.
Yes. RIAs and small ensembles often need both firm-level brand work and individual advisor brand work. We do both.
Yes. Niching the marketing doesn't mean firing existing clients. It means the new business you attract starts to fit the niche better, while the existing book stays intact.
Not as a primary service. Most CFP practices grow through referrals and organic visibility. We focus there. Paid can be useful in specific situations (a new specialty area, a geographic expansion) but it's rarely the foundation.
