The Investment Advisor Alliance Supervised Independence Program is designed for advisors looking to minimize compliance related decision making and reviews. Advisors gain access to IAA's technology and service Platform to run their business as efficiently as possible with the scalability IAA provides. As an advisor with an independent business, spending time in the most productive way is crucial to your survival. The IAA concentrates on support and compliance so you can concentrate on your business model, whether is is pure asset management, financial planning, or wealth management.
By becoming an advisor with IAA you have the opportunity to grow your business without the need to rapidly increase your expenses or hiring employees. Hiring an administrative employee is an expensive proposition; not only is there the salary (which can be as much as $65,000 in some metropolitan areas) other expenses such as Social Security, Medicare, disability insurance, health insurance, and retirement plans can add up quickly. In addition, as an employer you have to contend with vacation time and sick days of your employees plus the added costs of providing a workplace. You can cut costs and become your clients' trusted advisor because you are available to them to provide professional advice, not tied-up doing clerical work.
With The IAA, you have the option of working under our name or a name of your choosing, as long as it is owned by you. Your letterhead, website, and business card can be branded to your name so you can build your recognition as an investment advisor in your community.
