Our affiliations with Cetera Advisor Networks LLC, Vantage Benefit Advisors, LLC, and Vantage’s independent investment advisory firm enables our financial professionals to have the resources of a national firm but in a local and independent environment. As an independent firm, there are no proprietary products, obligations to product manufacturers, or incentives to sell any specific product. Associates can provide the best solution for each client’s situation free from any directive that might create a conflict of interest. Our knowledge, resources, and independence are your advantage.
Although Associates develop their own practice model, areas of focus, and client base, Vantage provides a wide range of back office, technology, planning, compliance, and marketing assistance to support each Associate’s efforts. A number of our Associates have established collaborative practice arrangements with other Associates that have a different field of knowledge. Others have developed relationships with outside professionals as a source for client referrals. As an organization, we actively seek and help finance practice acquisitions to help Associates grow their client base. We also provide the opportunity for Associates to work with our staff to create a business and marketing plan to better connect with existing clients and reach out to referrals and other prospects. Our focus as an organization is to help each Associate grow professionally and add value to their practice. Being independent does not mean being alone.
Associates can select a business model and location based upon their personal goals and needs of their clients. Vantage has affiliated offices in Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Colorado, and Texas along with multiple locations in Ohio. Some advisors may feel more comfortable moving into an independent environment as part of an established organization. For those individuals, we provide everything needed to start a practice including professional office space, phones, administrative support, marketing assistance, technology, and conference facilities. Others want to have a separate and independent office and staff while some prefer an “at-home” office while having access to our conference facilities and staff support. Regardless of the platform selected, Vantage is committed to partnering with its Associates and providing the needed resources to help each grow a successful practice. The firm provides all new Associates with transition support and compensation; technology setup and training; marketing support utilizing Cetera’s “Marketing Central” program; and social media marketing to clients and prospects. Associates have the all benefits of being part of a large firm while retaining full ownership of their clients and practice.
Planning knowledge and systems. Wide array of products, services, resources, technology, and support. Commitment to marketing. Choice of business models. Independence. These are a few of the many reasons you should look at joining Vantage Financial Group!
