Digital Growth Kaizen Wealth Management is a small, fee-only independent RIA with annual revenue in the 1M-10M range and a lean team of 2-10 employees.

There is a clear opportunity to offer security and compliance services such as cybersecurity hardening, data privacy assessments, SOC 2 readiness, vendor risk management, and staff training to reduce risk and reassure clients.

Local Partnerships Charleston, South Carolina location with a small team suggests potential for regional growth through partnerships with CPAs, attorneys, and local banks, and cross-referrals.
