Succession planning within a firm is complicated, with a lot riding on it for both generations. To give us a glimpse into what makes or breaks a succession plan, Hannah Moore, CFP®, sat down with two young planners who are in the thick of it. Kevin Cassidy, CFP®, is the Next Gen director at FPA Houston and is in the midst of succession at Veritas Wealth Management. Brooklyn Brock, CFP®, CEPA®, ChFC®, CKA®, is the founder of Ellevate, a financial planning firm for advisors that specializes in exit coaching.
