The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors has entered into an agreement with consulting firm FP Transitions to help its members with succession planning.
A 2020 Cerulli study showed that of advisers who planned to retire by 2030, 26% were not sure of their succession plan.
FP Transitions has created a custom program for NAPFA through which the group’s fee-only planners receive an annual valuation report, an annual continuity plan with regular updates, priority access to practices for sale coupled with unlimited inquiries, and access to a community-based continuity matching program for NAPFA members only.
The firms also will provide one-on-one consulting to NAPFA members at the group’s fall conference in Denver in October, NAPFA said in a release.
