A few weeks ago, I interviewed Matt Sonnen, founder of PFI Advisors, a consulting firm that assists large advisor teams (most over a billion in revenue) breakaway from wirehouse firms and go independent. PFI released it's first white paper this week that discusses using a pure consulting approach versus giving up equity in your firm or some sort of revenue-sharing model.

TransitionsCommentMy Journey to Independence
TransitionsCommentSix years ago today, I established my own independent financial advisory practice. It was the culmination of seven years of building a client base at big firms, learning about various business models, and planning for the move. It was probably inevitable that I would end up with my own practice once I learned that the independent model existed.
I am very grateful for the autonomy to run my business the best way I see fit for my clients and my family. For me, "Going Independent" has easily been the best professional decision I have ever made.
