I’m a CFP in the banking channel now, manage around $60-70 Million. Mixed book managed, annuities, structured. Looking to probably leave and go independent very soon, maybe next year. Bank assets are sticky. Was thinking of reaching out to retiring accountants and buying practices as a referral source. I hear Accounting practices are fantastic referral sources to gather AUM. They’re also way easier to find for sale than advisor books, that’s why I’m considering this route. Thoughts anyone?

Not disclosing the name. It’s a regional bank in the US, but it’s backed by a global bank. Too many changes going on not to anyone’s liking. I’m sick and tired of these banks screwing their advisors. I’ve only been here a few years, that’s why I’m skeptical how much I can bring. Maybe I could get $20 Mill to come with me. Probably not more than that.

Here are some methods you can utilize to find CPAs and (I wouldn’t rule out attorneys) which has worked for me tremendously. Once you meet them and start to build a rapport, send them business first and invite them to client meetings. You can meet CPAs and attorneys simply by going on 1. LinkedIn, (search: “CPA + tax planning,” “estate attorney + your city”) 2. Existing clients, some of your best partners are already in your book 3. Local Bar Associations, (estate attorneys, business lawyers) 4. Chambers of commerce and business networking groups 5. State CPA societies and accounting events 6. Centers of influence events and mixers 7. Find the local rotary board member ask them to invite you to community meetings.
