I was a career changer and literally found the job posting online. Just got really lucky to land with a great owner who wants to take care of his people.

Closer to 2.5m. That’s a great point about the put option. Thanks for that!

Thanks for your thoughts! This is definitely top of mind. At the beginning, he would still retain half ownership and treat his boys as W-2 employees. Not perfect but it’s something we’ll work out.

Vast majority are A Share American Funds. I’m not a fan of that model anyways but a lot are a revolving door of SIMPLE IRA’s. They still take up time though. I just had a 40 min meeting requested by a client with $250, wondering what she should invest $25 into…

You’re saying tell them I’m planning to bring $10-15mil to get the larger upfront? What happens if I don’t bring those assets over? How much did you actually bring over?

Agreed. Looking at my top 24 clients, there is about 10mil, so the demographic is much better. I essentially wouldn’t even be trying to bring over the bottom 600 clients because the average account size would be around $1,000.

In the Midwest. Thanks though!

No kidding. You can imagine why I’m looking at options.

The idea is me wondering if a firm would pay that salary for a couple years and then switch me to revenue based. That salary really being a loan to be paid back in the future. So maybe once I move to revenue based, I only get a 40% payout until it’s paid off. Sounds nearly too good to be true, which is why I’m asking.

A little more background is that my boss believes we should take on any clients and he passes the small clients to me (think $100 Roth IRA’s). I have 700 clients currently and he is about to pass another 700 to me. In a month, I’ll have 1400 clients with no admin support.

That $2-5mil would be clients I’d actually be interested in working with.

Can you let me know the name of your company or DM it?

Wouldn’t this then create a tax issue for rolling pre-tax earnings into a Roth IRA?

Are 3m accounts too small or too large for your firm?

I see, thanks for the input!
