What is the amount of fee vs brokerage?

Then yes, what the other person said. 2x3 times revenue some other factors to consider are age of clients and next gen opportunities within existing book. Lots of ways to structure that depending on what firm you are affiliated with and how you want to do business going forward.

I’ve been in the industry for 23+ years, 16+ of those spent as a Producing Branch Manager. I hold S7, S63, S66, S24 and I’ve completed the education for the CFP (need to pass the exam). I excel in relationship building and providing exceptional service. I’ve only been on the full-service side for the past 2 years and my book of managed money is about $10M, with another $10M+ being self-directed by clients. I’d love to find an RIA job, what type of role would be suggested?
