Succession planning is one of the most important—yet most overlooked—aspects of building a successful financial advisory practice. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day demands of serving clients and growing your book of business, but what happens when it’s time to slow down, retire, or transition ownership?
That’s where partnering with a firm like OneSeven can turn succession into a smooth, seamless transition.
Why Succession Planning Matters
A strong succession plan ensures your clients continue to receive exceptional care, your team has direction and stability, and your family or estate receives the financial value your business has created. Without it, the risk of client attrition, reduced firm value, and disrupted operations looms large.
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone.
