Advisor Alliance LLC has partnered with Hoxton Planning & Management LLC and United Capital (a Goldman Sachs Company) in an effort to allow Certified Public Accountants, Enrolled Agents and Attorneys who have passed certification examinations to be Investment Advisor Representatives (IAR) (or practice in a state that allows them to waive the test requirements) the ability to refer their clients to a trusted wealth manager. This relationship allows the IAR to link up with a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) entity and receive a percentage of the advisory fees. Advisor Alliance LLC handles the compliance of being an RIA while the IAR focuses on client service and the interaction with United Capital. United Capital has advisors and clients all over the United States and can advise clients anywhere using the wide range of tools at their disposal.
The clients benefit because they don't pay United Capital any more than they would otherwise, but the share of the fee that is allocated to their CPA, Enrolled Agent or attorney covers the billings the advisor would otherwise charge them for planning or other consulting related to their portfolio. It is a win for the client, which is the ultimate goal at all times.
Client names are, of course, maintained in strict confidence. No information is shared with other IARs and no one associated in any way with Advisor Alliance LLC will ever solicit the IAR's clients for the services the IAR provides. CPAs, Enrolled Agents and attorneys can trust Advisor Alliance LLC to act as the solicitor fee conduit RIA without worrying about client information being shared.
