Elite Consulting Partners is pleased to announce that Sean McMaster has joined the firm as Senior Business Consultant.
Sean brings nearly 20 years of financial services experience and more than 13 years helping financial advisors evaluate strategic business opportunities. Throughout his career, he has held leadership positions with LPL Financial, Osaic, and Cetera Financial Group, building a reputation as a trusted resource for advisors navigating growth, independence, succession planning, and long-term business strategy.
His success in the industry reflects both his deep understanding of the advisor landscape and his commitment to helping advisors make informed decisions. In 2025, Sean was recognized as the #2-ranked recruiter at Cetera Financial Group based on recruited production and advisory assets. Previously, he finished as Osaic's #1-ranked recruiter in 2023 and #2 in recruited trailing-12-month production, earning recognition for his ability to build lasting relationships with advisors and guide them through complex business decisions.
"What attracted me to Elite was the firm's reputation for putting advisors first and the breadth of resources available to support advisors beyond a transition," said McMaster. "Whether an advisor is evaluating independence, planning for succession, pursuing growth through acquisition, or simply exploring what's next, Elite brings together the expertise and resources to help them make confident decisions."
"Sean's experience, industry relationships, and advisor-first mindset make him an outstanding addition to our team," said Frank LaRosa, Founder and CEO of Elite Consulting Partners. "His track record speaks for itself, but what impressed us most is the trust he's earned from advisors throughout his career. Sean understands the challenges advisors face because he's spent years helping them navigate some of the most important decisions of their professional lives."
Sean's addition further strengthens Elite's ability to support financial advisors as they navigate growth opportunities, succession planning, and an increasingly complex wealth management landscape.
