Many of these firms are affiliated with independent broker-dealers such as LPL Financial and Raymond James; and advisor platforms like Cetera Financial Group and Osaic Wealth, requiring specialized expertise in managing the unique operational challenges of maintaining independence while meeting compliance obligations.

"Independent RIAs face a common challenge: they're too complex for the founder to manage operations alone, but not large enough to justify a full-time C-suite executive," Cameo Roberson explained. "Our fractional model provides access to senior operational expertise precisely when firms need it most; during the critical scaling phase that determines long-term success."
