Cross-sell college planning, estate planning, Roth IRAs, and Deferred Sales Trusts alongside 401(k)/403(b)/TSA guidance to create integrated, tax-efficient retirement plans. Build partnerships with CPAs and HR contacts in SMBs to capture rollover and plan-advisory opportunities.

Adviser Expansion The firm is actively expanding licensed advisers, creating a pipeline for new client acquisition and referral opportunities. Develop a scalable onboarding and training program, plus a partner referral network to leverage existing affluent clients for growth. Position the firm as a local, independent alternative to large wirehouses to attract advisory talent and their client bases.

Small Business Focus Leverage capabilities in institutional money management and retirement plan administration to serve SMBs and plan sponsors with 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and TSAs.
