THE MASS EXODUS OF FINANCIAL ADVISORS
Almost 50% of every advisor you know won’t be in business by 2035.
McKinsey & Co. reports that as many as 110,000 advisors will exit in the next nine years. We’ve connected with 1,600+ advisors since early 2025 to find out why.
The top three answers?
- Age & Retirement – Approximately 22% of CFP®s are age 60 or older. A significant wave of senior leadership will exit soon, along with countless relationships and wisdom.
- Technology disruption – AI is one of the most confusing, miscommunicated terms at any given advisor conference.
- Elevated investor expectations – More investors expect their advisors to respond with the same speed, accessibility, and agreeableness as the investor’s favorite AI tool.
The incoming group of advisors isn’t replacing them at the same rate.
That’s an incredible opportunity…

So, Are We the Right Fit to Work Together?
We're Likely the Right Fit IF...
- You lead a multi-advisor RIA firm, or you’re an IAR, with full autonomy over your messaging and marketing decisions.
- You’re ready to invest in how you talk about your work, why it matters, and what makes you, your firm, and your approach different.
- You’re generating at least $15,000/month, ideally $20,000+/month through advisory, consulting, and/or expertise services. There are some exceptions, but we want to ensure you’re ready to accelerate what’s already working well.
- You’re interested, even eager, in using the latest technologies in a smart, responsible way to be at the forefront of your industry.
We're Likely NOT the Right Fit IF...
- You don’t actually care about your clients. Being in your role carries tremendous responsibility. We only want to work with people who care.
- You don’t have full autonomy over your messaging and marketing decisions.
- You want a template, a prompt pack, or a plug-and-play solution that doesn’t require your involvement
- You’re looking for some magic pill to plug into your business without doing the necessary work.
- You’re brand-new in your space with limited experience, and you’re not generating at least $15,000/month in revenue yet.
