Project Management and Fractional COO Services for RIAs and Advisory Practices.

As an RIA or Advisory Practice owner or executive you wear a lot of hats. Your thoughts and concerns run anywhere from how to keep the lights on and employees happy to how to resolve client issues and celebrate success, all while satisfying the requirements of one of the most regulated industries in the world. Your business never leaves your mind.

For a moment, separate out the routine, day-to-day tasks and issues, and look at your firm from 30,000 ft. What do you see? Think about the past successes and obstacles overcome. Think about where you started, the path you’ve taken, and the destination ahead. How have you done?

Aside from your great successes, like many advisory firm owners and executives you may also have experienced a number of common frustrations:

• Lack of Control - your business is controlling you, not the other way around.

• People - your leadership team and employees are not all on the same page.

• Profit - where is it, or where did it go?

• Growth Standstill - you feel you’ve hit a ceiling and you can’t break through.

• Spinning your Wheels - you’ve tried different strategies to fix the issues above and nothing worked, at least not for very long.

If you are experiencing any of the above frustrations you are not alone. Thousands of RIAs and Advisory Firms have gone through, and continue to go through these same issues. Author Les McKeown, in his book Predictable Success calls this stage of business, “whitewater”. It can feel a bit like navigating rapids on a river - just when you feel like you have a handle on your business, you hit an wave that tosses you and your firm in another direction, and you’re back to trying to right yourself again. Ironically, it’s your great success that has led you to this point - as you’ve added clients, assets, and staff you’ve also added complexity. Every successful business has experienced, or will experience this cycle of their business, but this feeling of whitewater can be resolved. Breakout Implementation will help you breakout of this cycle by providing you with Project Management and Fractional COO services and solutions designed to maximize your firm’s efficiency, achieve real, measurable prosperity, and gain back control.
