Who We Are

Wealth Management Independence (WMI) was founded to educate and recruit the wealth management industry's top financial advisors.

Our mission is to work with individuals and teams who have the entrepreneurial spirit to own their firm and to build their own practice exactly the way they desire while serving their clients as a true fiduciary.

About Us

Your Independence

When you transition from being an employee to a business owner, you’ll have the power to build and control your practice the way you desire. This empowerment leads to personalized branding, innovative marketing, less restrictive compliance, and a highly customizable pro-client financial planning and investment platform.

Your Values

As an independent advisor, you will be able to make your own decisions when it comes to hiring associates and admin staff, choosing the technology you need most, and selecting the resources and platform that delivers the very best experience to help you support your clients.

Client Centric Values

Advisors are increasingly frustrated with their institutional employers. They are voting with their feet and leaving to build their own firms with a client centric culture and values they consider essential:

fueled by purpose

Provide solutions; not products

culture-driven mindset

Foster a culture of collegiality; Not unsociability

greater outcomes

Make decisions that are bottom-up; not top-down

elevated standards

Experience compliance that protects; not punishes

acting with integrity

Recognize ALL people based on merit; not political correctness

leading with passion

Build a company that puts clients first, and profits second
