They say that in sports and comedy – timing is everything. The same is true for growing an advisory firm – the decisions when to add another team-member, when to hire an executive, when to create a department are critical for the success of a growing advisory firm.
To guide entrepreneurs in their quest to build a better firm, Bluespring Wealth Partners has partnered with industry expert Philip Palaveev to create a roadmap through the “dangerous middle” the phase of growth where firms struggle to grow to a billion-dollar firm and beyond.
The “dangerous middle” – a term coined by industry guru Michael Kitces describes the challenge of investing heavily in the firm through the addition of operations managers, investment professionals, creating a marketing department and building career paths.
Join Bluespring Wealth Partners President Stuart Silverman in a lively discussion of how to navigate the treacherous path of organizational growth. Stuart will interview consultant Philip Palaveev, CEO of The Ensemble Practice, and entrepreneurs Mike Frazier, President & CEO of Bedell Frazier Investment Counselling and Tom Fee, Managing Director of $1+ billion firm Vector Wealth Management. We look to combine the best practices and management theory with the practical, real-life experience of industry veterans.
During this discussion you’ll learn:
- When is the right time to hire a COO and a chief marketing officer?
- What infrastructure is needed to reach a billion in assets
- What should be the criteria for adding partners to the firm
- How to manage your equity for sustainable growth and talent development
