Let's TalkThe Growth Equation™
The Growth Equation is an enterprise diagnostic that evaluates growth velocity, quality of cash flow, and enterprise value trajectory. It reveals what's constraining growth and the levers to drive it.
Every firm is either V-dominant or C-dominant.
One compresses multiples. The other expands them.
The Relationship Quality Index®
Traditional metrics don't predict organic growth. Not retention. Not NPS. Not client satisfaction. RQI is different. A composite of five client-relationship attributes scored from 0 to 100, RQI measures not just advocacy, but the quality and value of the experience being advocated for.
One number. Practice-level, enterprise-wide, or portfolio-level. Diagnostic and predictive.
Retention, consolidation, and advocacy. The behaviors that compound into durable, capital-efficient growth.
Cash flow driven by value creation is stickier, more predictable, and worth more in a valuation model.
The first metric that draws a direct line from how advisors engage clients to the multiples firms command.
Objective insight into relationship quality, including attrition risk, organic growth trajectory, and practice valuation.
Roll up advisor-level scores and RQI reveals top performers, performance gaps, and embedded risk. A measure of organizational vitality predictive of earnings quality.
A leading indicator of multiple expansion. The first metric that connects advisor performance to the multiples firms command.
The Organic Growth Flywheel
A three-stage framework that spins a self-reinforcing cycle: create value, activate it enterprise-wide, monetize it. Each stage builds on the last. Each cycle compounds the results.
The through line: one diagnostic metric at every stage, connecting advisor performance to enterprise value.
Advisor performance is the predominant driver of value creation and organic growth, and our industry's most underleveraged lever. We help advisors transform the value of their advice leveraging predictive metrics, micro practices, peer-to-peer learning, and AI-powered coaching.
Not one advisor at a time. Unit by unit, OSJ by OSJ, region by region. Peer-to-peer networks embed the learning and accelerate adoption across the enterprise. The metrics validate the improvement, which motivates the next unit, which spins the flywheel again.
Each cycle builds a provable growth narrative. Advisor performance connects to relationship quality, to retention, to durable organic growth, to earnings quality, to the multiples firms command. The same metrics now validate enterprise value and multiple expansion.
Growth that compounds through value creation, not capital. Value-driven, not amplification-dependent.
Advisors who create more value retain more clients, consolidate more assets, and generate higher-quality cash flow. Firms that invest in advisor performance retain their best talent.
A data-backed growth narrative that connects advisor performance to relationship quality to organic growth to earnings quality. Built for PE due diligence and board-level conversations.
Organic growth is the single largest lever on valuation multiples. This framework makes it provable, measurable, and repeatable.
Regular columns and analysis on what's actually driving, and stalling, growth in wealth management.
Why the industry's growth problem isn't a marketing problem, and the framework for solving it at the enterprise level.
An original equation that explains why most are falling short, and the dynamic between Value, Amplification, Efficiency, and Commoditization.
The metrics we rely on don't predict growth. What does, and why the industry needs a new measurement framework.
