For Experienced Advisors

Learn how we can integrate your practice

Wealthspire Advisors® has successfully integrated advisors into our organization at every level of experience, and we understand that adding established advisors can be challenging. Having welcomed new advisors through both the acquisition of small RIAs and by lifting out individuals and teams, we believe that having an experienced transition team working behind the scenes makes a world of difference and eases any anxieties about the continuity of high-caliber client service. We also create smooth transitions by integrating advisors and teams who are a close fit for our culture.

The experienced advisors we have hired share the following philosophies:

1 Belief in independent, open architecture investing

2 Financial advice should lead with planning

3 Adherence to a high level of client service

4 Emphasis on proactive communication

Internal Department Resources

With 19 offices throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and West Coast, few registered investment advisors offer our size and scale. That, paired with our experience in onboarding advisor teams, creates a suite of integrated back office support.

Marketing & Communications
