Many RIA founders and leaders face choices about how best to transition their businesses. This multi-dimensional “succession planning puzzle” includes maintaining excellent client service, ensuring the business is in capable and conflict-free hands, and planning for their own successful retirement. At Aspiriant, one of the nation’s only employee-owned independent wealth management firms with scale, we’ve solved for the most important pieces to the puzzle.

You recognize the importance of a conflict-free employee ownership model, which aligns the interests of clients and employees in perpetuity, over an immediate pay day. One third of our employees are owners of the firm. Our distributed ownership and succession strategy institutionalize client service continuity for the foreseeable future.
