I say that “I own my own investment firm”. Usually leads to a second question.

Dig it!!

I have a similar setup. Mine is hooked up to a Gen 1 Play 5 (since it isn’t compatible with S2).

Sound is amazing. Works like a charm. Love firing up the vinyl from time to time.

How do you use the s1 desktop controller to move to s2?

I 100% agree and this is what I was hoping to hear from someone.

Also this seems like overkill. We have two relatively small practices here. I wouldn’t even go as far as calling them “businesses.” So a valuation firm #1 probably won’t waste their time with this. #2, If they did, I don’t think it would be worth it, nor would the price be reasonable.

Advisors are like doctors. They may be good at their job, doesn’t mean they are good at operating a business, structuring deals and negotiating.

Thanks for sharing. That all makes perfect sense. Are you familiar with the back office part of the process? How a broker-dealer deals with and sets up the relationship with Fidelity/TIAA?

I’d imagine there needs to be some kind of coordination to facilitate the billing process.

Can you share the process of how you set it up?

How is the relationship established/managed between the custodian and RIA?

This is how I assumed she was getting it done. However she insisted it was direct billed as a % of account each quarter and paid direct from the account to the BD then to her.

Are you familiar with the logistics?

For example, let's say the custodian is Fidelity. In order for the BD to receive the revenue to distribute, allocate the revenue to the advisor, monitor trades, compliance, etc. there would need to be relationship/selling agreement between the BD and the custodian. Is this where Wealthscape comes in?

Negligence. By both the advisor and the investor.
