RIA Tech Stack

The Increasing Importance
of the Client Portal
Internal Succession
Strategies
Creating an Impactful First Impression (Onboarding)
How to Leverage Your Custodian for Growth
Job Descriptions and How to Attract Talent to Your RIA
KPIs to Gauge the
Health of Your RIA
PEO Providers and Employee Benefit Expectations
How to Get the Most From Your Career in Operations
Trading and Rebalancing Strategies for Business Scale

M&A – How to Attract Advisors to Your Firm
How to Best Leverage

Financial Planning Tools
and Processes
These courses serve as valuable training for operations professionals at any level, from new client service associates to veteran COOs. By breaking down the Learning Paths into several courses, members have no trouble absorbing as little or as much content as they want during their busy day. Not only are these courses designed for the flexible learning needs of working operations professionals, but they are also ready for immediate implementation at the firm level.
In addition to these core learning paths, the community platform features:
Outside Interviews
Hear from vendors, consultants, and leaders of influence. Both timely and insightful, these guests offer outside perspectives on course content and provide real-world examples of the topics covered in our lesson plans.
Monthly Member Meetup
As an exclusive benefit to members, Founder Matt Sonnen hosts a monthly video conference, inviting all members to pose questions and discuss course topics, current challenges, and anything RIA industry related.
Operations Job Board
Members can post openings for administrative and senior-level positions. Our community is well-connected in the operations spave and our Job Board is a great place to start looking for the best talent
In addition to all of this, our robust Discussion Forum enables members to share their thoughts and questions at any time, and we post newly-published industry articles and other helpful resources for members to access, as a way of keeping the course content “fresh.”
