Grow Your Business

Affiliate Your Way

SFA Partners empowers you to run your firm, your way, whatever your business model. The Strategic Financial Alliance, our broker-dealer, supports transaction-based independent financial advisors. Strategic Blueprint serves fee-based advisors in need of a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) platform. And many of our advisors affiliate in a hybrid manner, leveraging both the broker-dealer and the RIA. No matter your firm’s approach to serving clients, we have a solution to support your success.

Practice Management

We support you in all areas of practice management, helping you problem-solve and plan for the future with consulting and useful tools. We help you focus on office management tools such as administrative job descriptions and workflows, tips for the ideal branch exam, business valuation and continuity planning assessments, technology best practices, and training opportunities for you and/or your administrative support team members.

Technology

Technology is a critical element for maximizing your productivity, meeting regulatory compliance, and maintaining successful client relationships. Use the secure portal to access compensation, customer accounts, reports, and data. Establish a paperless workflow, and partner with leading providers such as Albridge, an affiliate of Pershing, for portfolio management, performance reporting, and account aggregation.

Investment Solutions

You need access to a varied and deep investment solution platform. SFA’s due diligence team has carefully vetted the platform, which includes alternative investments, insurance-based products, third-party asset management, and more. You have options and choices to offer your clients a comprehensive planning approach to help protect, preserve, accumulate, and transfer wealth throughout their entire financial lives.

Want to suggest an investment option not currently on our platform? We are open to considering and reviewing additional programs because, if they are of interest to you, they may also be of interest to the rest of the SFA community.

Business Continuity

It is never too soon to plan for the future. You do this for your clients – why shouldn’t you do this for your own business? We help you coordinate and put in place the resources needed to assist you in an orderly, rewarding progression. SFA can also help you obtain the base financing you might need for your succession plan.

A carefully-considered succession plan begins by asking the right questions:

  • What are my long-term goals for myself and my family?
  • Do I wish to maximize value immediately or continue in my commitments to my clients?
  • What has been the unique value proposition that kept my clients loyal throughout the years?
  • Do I wish to sell internally or find an externally based exit strategy?

Your close advisor community, our in-house support, and well-established industry network will help you succeed in finding the right partners for taking the next big step in the plan you envision.

Compliance

Through guidance, education, clear communication, and a user-friendly approach, our SFA Compliance team helps you manage the complex regulatory maze. Today’s stringent regulatory climate can seem dauntingly complex and time consuming. SFA’s regulatory compliance team maintains a rigorous devotion to best practices and procedures that help you streamline your compliance workload and avoid inadvertent missteps. We guide you in fulfilling regulatory compliance obligations in ways that don’t distract you from your most important endeavor – growing your business and servicing your clients’ needs.
