Building an RIA or
Broker-Dealer doesn’t
have to be complicated.
I have been leading boutique Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) and Broker-Dealers since 2012. I have direct experience across most business functions, including executive strategy, accounting, trading, portfolio management, compliance, SEC and state audits, custodian relationships, operational support for financial advisors, and technology implementation.
