Orion Advisor Technology, an Omaha, Nebraska-based fintech company, has launched a digital marketplace of discounted practice management resources and an online community of advisers and firms interested in M&A transactions.
The service, called the Orion Network, offers advisers access to preferred rates from more than 100 third-party service providers offering group health insurance, IT assistance, payroll, marketing, compliance and back-office related services.
For its M&A service, the digital platform uses an algorithm to match buyer and seller profiles based on shared goals, including transitioning from a broker-dealer to the independent RIA model, succession planning, talent acquisition or inorganic growth.
