Business Acquisition Program

The decision to sell a business is never easy, but deciding to sell is only the first step in the business transition process. When you’re ready to retire or switch career paths, knowing where to turn can be a challenge – unless you know where to look. Your business is built on the relationships you have with your clients, and on your good name. Successfully transitioning means knowing how to place a value on your practice, selling it for a fair rate, and ensuring ongoing superior care for your clients.

Our Team

Our team consists of three wealth advisors and one office manager, and together we foster a collaborative environment to capitalize on the strengths of every member.  Our team, several of whom have decades until retirement, are interested in cultivating long-term relationships with our clients. Our firm is well-positioned for growth with a history of successful advisory practice acquisitions.

OUR APPROACH

We strive to help our clients make educated financial decisions by simplifying the complex and building valued relationships over the long-term. We emphasize strategy over product, combining both technology with humanity by listening to our clients needs, and creating a comprehensive plan to pursue their objectives through our tailored recommendations.

We believe the foundation of our business is the relationship we have with our clients. We are committed to acting in our clients’ best interest, to be open and honest, and to communicate clearly and often with our clients.

PARTNERS IN TRANSITION

PRIORITIZING THE CLIENT

Your business is valuable. It represents time, dedication, and the cultivation of client relationships. When selling your practice, it’s more than just a dollar value – it’s knowing that your clients will continue receiving quality service and a team that’s determined to earn their trust.

At Cognitive Wealth Management, our focus on the client experience sets us apart. In an increasingly digital and commoditized world, we believe our personalized care and quality service make us your dynamic choice of partner.

We have helped other financial professionals in similar situations successfully sell and transition their business. Our team-based approach combines our specialties and perspectives, multiplying our results. We are committed to strong, long-term relationships with our clients, and would be happy to provide a list of referrals upon request.

Your clients want to know they’ll be happy with the transition. Our reputation, customer service, and high retention rate will help them feel confident and comfortable.

THE CHECKLIST FOR A SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION

Valuation

The first step in selling your practice is determining the value of your financial advisory firm. Placing a value on relationships and service can be difficult. If you need help determining the value of your practice, we can help you obtain an estimate from a third party at no cost to you.

Compatibility

Firms are evaluated for compliance and compared for compatibility before committing to a relationship. Prior to acquisition it is necessary to explore financial history, licensing, and a few more details. We also want to ensure your clients continue to get the same great service they are used to.

Integration

Once we have determined our business style and philosophy is a match for yours and your client base, your clients will begin the integration process. We will communicate the change to your clients and schedule introductory meetings with them, to ensure a seamless transition.
