We are running a 50 person, in-person, intimate, value-maximizing workshop.
The Financial Advisor’s Ultimate Exit Playbook Workshop is a focused, interactive workshop where you’ll received personalized, actionable insights from a team of experienced, real world experts who have collectively been involved in hundreds of transactions representing billions of dollars.
This is unlike any other event you’ve ever been to before, it’s an opportunity to walk away with three to five tactical steps tailored to getting maximum value for your practice AND for your clients’ businesses, guided by experts who’ve successfully built and sold businesses just like yours.
(AND YOUR CLIENT'S BUSINESSES)
After introducing the industry to what a “highly profitable, hyper successful, lifestyle practice” could be (Kitces.com/7), Jarvis literally wrote the book on Delivering Massive Value (Kitces.com/247) and in 2024 he exited his practice in an 8-figure deal, which was double his appraised value just 12-months earlier. Learn why, at just age 43, Jarvis took chips on the table and how he’s helped hundreds of advisors double their own practice valuation.
As a financial advisor, Ted built his RIA, Oxygen Financial, to over $2B in AUM before selling it in a record breaking deal. Post sale, Ted focused this same business and marketing genius on helping other advisors and business owners (including Jarvis), get maximum value in deals nobody else could put together, including deals reaching 9-figures.
A regular contributor to Kitces.com on RIA compliance and M&A topics, Rich has focused his practice on the nuances of RIA transactions, including how LOIs can be more binding than sellers realize and how even the smallest detail in the contract can make 6, 7 or even 8 figure differences on the actual amounts received by the seller.
After leading his own team of 175 people through an exit, Jerome is now a kind of Exit Whisperer who helps sellers (and potential sellers) overcome the mental hurdles of selling and moving on to their next adventures. This session will be especially helpful for advisors (and their clients) who have headtrash around selling, even in the face of record valuations.
One of the most sought after tax experts in the industry, Steven’s background in audit and working with financial advisors has him uniquely qualified to help advisors pay less in taxes, while not sabotaging their exit valuation (a strategy that can be relayed to your business owner clients).
When he became agency manager, Peter was required to give away his book of business and after peaking his management career at 5,000 advisors under his leadership, Peter now helps advisors do the opposite of giving their practice away: selling for maximum valuation.

Panel of top buyers in the Country on how much longer these valuations can possibly last, why it still makes sense for them to buy at this price, and Q&A with the audience
Any buyer cold-calling advisors is bottom fishing with low ball offers. You (and your business owner clients) will only exit once and in what is likely the most financially impactful transaction in your lifetime. Knowledge is power, which in this case is money.
Theory vs reality. All of our speakers have been directly involved in hundreds of transactions, many of which were well above standard industry valuations, with buyers who aren’t on the radar of the big conference hosts.
Yes and Jarvis paid out that bet many times over.
