Great “idea”. The RIA business is growing and need experienced consultants to help. The biggest challenge will be fees and attribution. The independent space works for clients through minimizing conflicts but the exercise shrinks the fee pool for advisors and consultants.

Well, of course when an independent firm chooses to work with a consultant, coach or someone who is both, it needs to look at all it's operations. DUH... All the pieces, from beginning to end need to work together to reach the processes goals like a well oiled machine. Operations encompasses what would be quite a few departments in a much larger firm. You don't want to go backwards, and end up like most of the smaller firms in the 1980's whose arms didn't know what the fingers were doing, and once they did learn, problems ceases to exist.
