In this week’s episode of Advisor Talk, Elite Consulting Partners CEO Frank LaRosa and EVP of Sales Stacey Frank dive into one of the most misunderstood, and overanalyzed, aspects of transitioning firms: the payout and comp structure.
Drawing from dozens of real advisor case studies and years of experience building custom pro formas, Frank and Stacey break down why the financial differences between firms are often smaller than they seem – and what advisors should be focusing on instead.
Topics covered include:
-Why comparing payout percentages rarely tells the full story.
-How custom pro formas cut through the noise and reveal the real net numbers.
-The top mistakes advisors make when analyzing firm economics.
-How a $100K difference can shrink fast when you factor in headcount, taxes, and firm fees.
-What actually moves the needle in long-term success (hint: it’s not the ticket charges).
If you’re evaluating a potential move or feeling stuck in analysis paralysis, this episode is your wake-up call to stop splitting hairs and start focusing on what really matters.
