What Makes Our Process Different

We don't just match you with a firm—we ensure you thrive for decades

Framework-Driven

We start with the 6C Framework™ to understand what matters to you—before ever discussing compensation. We lead with the right alignment, not just the biggest check.

Data-Driven Scorecards

Comprehensive side-by-side analysis with real scoring across all six dimensions, economic modeling over multiple time horizons, and transparent risk assessment.

Insider Access

We connect you directly with current advisors at each firm for unfiltered conversations. Our relationships mean honest answers, not recruiter talking points.

180-Day Support

We stay with you for six months after you sign—with structured check-ins and proactive troubleshooting. We measure success at 180 days, not day one.

Complete Confidentiality

Zero disclosure without permission. Controlled introductions. Anonymous initial discussions. Your current firm never knows unless you want them to.

Completely Flexible

Need to move quickly? We can accelerate. Want to be methodical? We support that too. This is your career decision—we move at your pace, not ours.

We don't stop at Step 5. We're just getting started.

The real work begins after you sign the contract. That's when you need us most—and that's when we double down on support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about our process

How long does the process typically take?

Most advisors complete the full process in 3-6 months from initial conversation to successful transition. However, we're completely flexible to your timeline. Some advisors move faster when timing is urgent; others take longer to be thorough.

What information do I need to provide?

To build your 6C Scorecard, we'll need: T12 Production Summary, practice overview, current technology stack, your priorities across the 6C dimensions, and any timing constraints. Everything is handled confidentially.

Can I pause the process if needed?

Absolutely. This is your career and your timeline. You can pause at any stage for personal reasons, contractual obligations, or simply needing more time to think. We'll be here when you're ready. No pressure. No judgment.

Do I pay anything for your services?

No. You never pay us a dime. Firms compensate us when we successfully place an advisor, aligning our incentives completely with yours. No hidden fees, no costs passed through, no surprise charges.

How do you maintain confidentiality?

We never contact any firm without your explicit approval. You decide which firms to engage with and when. Early conversations happen anonymously until you're comfortable. Your current firm, clients, and colleagues won't know unless you decide to tell them.

Ready to Start Your Confidential Assessment?

Let's have an honest conversation about your practice, your priorities, and what your ideal next chapter looks like. No pressure. No obligation. Just clarity.
