Succession & Continuity
Wealth Firm Diagnostic Tool™
A niche diagnostic focused entirely on your firm's readiness for ownership transition, key-person risk, and business continuity — areas that are frequently underprepared until they become urgent.
About this diagnostic
The Succession & Continuity Wealth Firm Diagnostic Tool™ addresses one of the most consequential — and most deferred — dimensions of running a wealth management practice. Most firms know succession planning matters. Few have done the work. This diagnostic gives you an honest assessment of where your firm stands and what it would take to be genuinely prepared.
What this diagnostic covers
Ownership Transition Readiness
An assessment of how prepared your firm is for an ownership transition — whether internal, external, or through a merger or acquisition — including valuation readiness and deal structure considerations.
Succession Plan Documentation
A review of whether your firm has a documented, current succession plan — and whether it addresses the scenarios most likely to affect your practice.
Next-Generation Advisor Development
An evaluation of your firm's pipeline of next-generation talent — whether you are developing advisors who can assume client relationships and leadership responsibilities.
Client Relationship Portability
An assessment of how portable your client relationships are — whether they are tied to the firm or to individual advisors, and what that means for a transition.
Technology & Operations Continuity
A review of whether your technology and operational infrastructure would support continuity through a leadership transition — or whether it creates additional risk.
Legal & Structural Readiness
An assessment of the legal and structural elements of your succession readiness — buy-sell agreements, entity structure, and the documentation that supports a clean transition.
