FINANCIAL ADVISOR TRANSITION SERVICES

Time to Make a Move? We’ll Help You
Do It Right.

Most financial advisors considering a transition already know what they want. What stops them is everything they don’t know: what their contracts allow, what their book is worth, which firm is a real fit or just a good pitch.

TAS handles all of it, from the first conversation to the final placement.

Our PROCESS

Built Around Your Move

Switching Broker-Dealers or moving to an RIA involves a sequence of steps, each one with the potential to cost you clients, income, or your legal standing if made out of order. We stay with you from the first confidential conversation through the day your clients are settled at the new firm. 

Business Coaching & Discovery

Before we talk about firms, we talk about you. What’s driving your move, what you need from your next chapter, and what you’re not willing to trade away.

That clarity shapes everything that follows.

Book & Technology Evaluation

Your book gets assessed on its actual terms: client demographics, average relationship size, tech stack dependencies. The goal is to identify a firm where you’ll thrive, not just one with an attractive payout grid.

Attorney-Guided Transition Planning

Our co-founder and in-house attorney of 40-plus years reviews every contract you’ve signed. You’ll know exactly what you can do, how to sequence the move, and how to protect yourself. Every engagement follows the Number 1 Protocol, our proprietary compliance methodology.

Compensation
Analysis

Your market value is rarely what you think it is. We lay out payout grids, transition packages, technology costs, and overhead side by side so you know exactly where you stand before making any decisions.

Strategic
Firm Placement

We don’t broadcast your information. We pull from our proprietary database to build a shortlist of firms that fit how you actually run your practice. Every introduction is deliberate.

THE OUTCOME

Make Your Transition with Confidence

A Better Practice,
Not Just a Different Firm

Our process is designed for what happens after the paperwork is signed. These are the results advisors actually feel.

Client Relationships That Stay With You

Retention is the real measure of a successful transition.
The sequencing and communication plan we build with you keeps relationships intact, so the book you’ve spent years building is still the book you run.

A Practice That Fits Five Years from Now

A well-matched firm keeps paying off long after the transition package is gone.
You land somewhere that supports how you want to grow, not just a deal that looked good on day one.

A Move That Pays You, Not Your Recruiter

Most recruiters earn by moving fast. We earn by moving you well. That means a shorter, smarter list and a deal structured around your long-term growth, not a placement bonus.

Our Reviews

What Our Clients Say

“Matthew is not your average recruiter. He’s professional, personable, and genuinely focused on finding the right fit, not just filling a role. He asks thoughtful questions, listens closely, and adds real value to the process. He clearly knows his space and carries himself with the kind of confidence that comes from experience.”

– Fletcher S. Bolda, MBA
