You're a Financial Planner, Now What?
Defining Success as a Business Owner
Chloé Moore has an amazing career within the financial planning profession and always known that planning was where she wanted to be. She launched her own RIA, Financial Staples, to start putting more of a focus on providing financial planning for people her own age who need financial planning. Chloé describes her clients as young professionals who are doing amazing things in their careers, getting out of debt, and growing their wealth.
Chloé understands that her clients are going through many changes in their young lives, and she prides herself in meeting them where they are and working with them every step of the way through her high touch service model. In her first year, Chloé grew her RIA to 18 clients – which is incredible.
Unlike many new advisors, Chloé has built her practice to fit her lifestyle. She enjoys travelling, cooking, spending time with her family and friends and volunteering. To meet her ideal work/life balance, she’s decided to monitor and limit her firm’s growth to ensure she’s growing in ways that fit her definition of success. This concept isn’t one you hear planners talking about, but it’s so important!
Chloé isn’t only a rockstar financial planner with a successful firm, she also runs a consulting business in tandem with her planning practice. She knows that operations is her strong suit, and because she’s passionate about it, she founded C-Level Consultants. This consulting firm serves financial planners exclusively, and helps guide them to a more organized, streamlined operation of their firm.
It’s no doubt that Chloé has found exactly where she fits in the financial planning community and is thriving there. This episode will provide many valuable insights, both into launching your own RIA and tailoring it to fit the life you want, and into creating a successful side hustle that helps to give back to the profession.
“With what we do, we’re really able to help someone. Really change the path of their life.”
