Your Street

Put your focus where it belongs – on serving your clients.

Like most successful advisors, you’re in this industry because your passion is helping people in your community plan their financial futures. The business of running a business, however, can keep you from doing what you do best. Expand the one on one attention you provide your clients with regional support for your business through the powerful combination of a branch and broker-dealer.

Are you frustrated with:

• A lack of administrative support?
• Changing payout agenda?
• A lack of advisor culture?
• True ownership of your practice?
• Limited or proprietary product offerings?
• Lower pay outs for your client advise and deliverables?
• Little or no B/D support for practice and marketing programs?

Are you stuck in the same advisor business model as your peers and want to deliver more to your clients?

Our branch structure can help you:

Expand your practice to deliver a more comprehensive financial life planning value proposition to your clients.  As well as:     

• Act as a guide through the transition process
• Be your eyes and ears to industry and B/D programs aimed at helping you grow your practice
• Provide an advisor culture that shares practice management and marketing ideas
• Increase service levels to your current clients
• Build your practice by attracting new clients and new assets
• Free up more time for client meetings and prospecting
• Reduce overhead costs such as staff, technology, compliance and business development
• Secure the future of your practice with a continuity and succession safety net
• Increase your revenue
• Improve your work life & personal life balance

Independent Support, How & When You Need It

Full Spectrum Financial Solutions provides advisors flexibility in how and where they run their practice – traditional or home-based office, solo practitioner or partnership. Your access to our service and support is not restricted by your geographical or office location, or by the size of your practice.  You’re Brand or ours.

You get to focus on working with your clients, while we take on responsibilities such as personnel issues, troubleshooting computer problems and double-checking charges from the phone company, to name a few.

In-house Support

Our in-house support is three dimensional:

     -Senior Level CFP® advisor practice management and business growth support

     -High level CFP® operations and new business support

     -Experienced administrative business processing support

You receive full one on one support from each of our staff for a smooth and successful transition, including transferring client accounts and communicating to them about your new branch and broker-dealer.

You keep true independent ownership of your practice, giving you full equity in your life’s work and a competitive negotiated payout structure. Our in-house branch continuity and succession plan ensure you or your heirs receive compensation for that equity if you retire or become unable to work.

Your entrepreneurial spirit can spread its wings by creating a business model that reflects your agenda and pays you dividends.

We view all our advisors as big fish in our pond!

All this support from Full Spectrum Financial Solutions, plus the resources of Securities America, one of the largest independent BDs in the country, means you can take your business to a whole new level of success and prosperity.

The Power of Dual Clearing

Securities America helps ensure your independence as a business person and professional financial advisor by providing the ability to clear business through two distinct platforms.
