Real Experience. Real Guidance. Real Results.
We’ve built and managed RIAs ourselves—now we help you do the same with trusted compliance expertise and strategic support.
Born from Experience, Built for Simplicity
After navigating the complex path to independence ourselves, we set out to make the process clearer, faster, and more achievable for every advisor.
Every advisor’s journey to independence starts with a question: “Can I really do this on my own?”
We asked ourselves that same question back in 2010 when we transitioned from the broker-dealer world to launching our first RIA. The process was complex, time-consuming, and full of conflicting advice. But through that experience, we built not just one, but three successful RIAs—each with its own structure, team, and compliance systems.
Along the way, we realized something important: advisors don’t struggle with capability—they struggle with clarity. The regulatory path can be confusing, and most “consultants” add complexity instead of removing it. SimplyRIA was born to change that.
Today, we combine firsthand advisor experience with proven compliance expertise to simplify the RIA lifecycle—from launch to growth to ongoing compliance. We’ve lived it, refined it, and now we help others navigate it with confidence.
Our Mission & Values
We built SimplyRIA to simplify independence. Our mission is to help financial advisors build the firm they envision—without being consumed by compliance. We guide advisors through every stage of launching, running, and growing their RIA with clarity, confidence, and real-world experience.
Built for Advisors, by Advisors
We’ve built multiple RIAs from the ground up, so we understand your challenges firsthand. Our experience shapes the guidance we provide—practical, relevant, and proven in the field.
Strategic Partnership, Not a Package
We don’t just handle filings; we help you make the right foundational decisions for your firm’s structure, technology, and growth path. We’re partners, not vendors.
Personalized Compliance with a Human Touch
Compliance should feel supportive, not burdensome. Our boutique approach means you get direct, responsive, and relationship-driven service tailored to your firm.
