Let's talk
The independent advisor growth system

Freedom. Low cost.
Simple.

Built by advisors, for advisors. Own your practice, keep more of what you earn, and run your business without unnecessary complexity.

Two ways to work with us

One firm. A clear path for
advisors and for families.

For advisors

Break away — and break through.

Go independent with a partner that handles compliance, billing, technology, and operations — so you can focus on clients and growth. When you're ready to retire, we help you plan a succession that protects everything you've built.

  • Your own brand, your own clients
  • Full compliance, billing & tech, handled
  • A No Penalty Exit, always
For clients

Advice that answers to you.

Work with a fiduciary advisor — planning, investments, retirement, tax, and estate strategy built around your life, not a product shelf. Independent ownership means your interests stay first.

  • A true fiduciary, always on your side
  • Planning built around your life
  • A clear plan for retirement and the years ahead
What sets us apart

Three uniques.
Zero asterisks.

Whether you're breaking away from a wirehouse, leaving a broker-dealer, or planning your exit, AFS is built around what actually helps you grow — and nothing that doesn't.

01

Freedom

Operate under your own brand. Own every client relationship. No proprietary products, no committee approvals for ordinary decisions — and leave without penalty, ever.

Why AFS
02

Low cost

A straightforward 90/10 payout. What you keep is simple to predict — because there are no surprises built into the math.

The 90/10 model
03

Simple

One fee structure. One custodian. One compliance framework. Documented service commitments instead of vague promises, so you always know what you can count on.

What's included
How we compare

AFS against the rest.

Enter your assets under management and average fee, and we'll estimate your annual take-home under AFS against every alternative — wirehouse, broker-dealer, and corporate RIA.

How it works

The path to independence.

A clear, five-step path that takes the guesswork out of going independent — most advisors are fully operational within 4–6 weeks.

A three-founder partnership

People, not a platform.

Aggregate Financial Services was founded by three partners who believe advisors should own their work and clients should always come first. When you call, you reach a founder — not a call center.
