In this episode of Advisor Talk with Frank LaRosa, Frank is joined by Elite Consulting Partners' own Stacey Frank to dig into one of the most misunderstood aspects of advisor transitions: evaluating what actually makes a deal “good.”
Too often, advisors chase the biggest upfront check without realizing the long-term financial implications hidden in the fine print. Frank and Stacey break down why it’s not just about the payout - it’s about total profitability over time.
