RIA Registration

State and SEC registration done right — custom compliance manual, ADV 1A/1B/2A/2B, and Form CRS. Launch with confidence in 4–8 weeks.

Ongoing Compliance

A dedicated partner for your compliance calendar, annual reviews, IARD & ADV management, ad/marketing review, and email surveillance.

Mock Audits & Exam Support

Remote mock audits, employee training, and hands-on support when the regulators call — so an exam is never something to fear.

The complete business system: the engine that runs everything so the advisor can wear one hat.

Going independent gives you freedom, but it quietly rewrites your job description from "advisor" to "business-system builder," and that's where most advisors get buried. Legacy Vision is that business system: we've already solved the Big 5 (custodial transitions, operations and tech stack, regulatory risk, business growth, and succession), so staying independent no longer means wearing thirty hats. We put the highest-leverage tools (labor, capital, media, and automation) in the right part of your business and run the engine for you, so you can wear one hat: Authentic Advisor. Keep your clients, keep your community, keep your standards, and let the system carry the rest.

The cornerstone RIA, the advisor's home base.

Legacy Wealth is your RIA home base, the registered foundation that lets you give fee-based, fiduciary advice on your own terms instead of inside a corporate machine built to protect its own margins. Plug into it and your registration, client agreements, and advisory infrastructure are handled, so you can serve clients the way you always wanted to. Your book stays yours, your relationships stay yours, and if you ever choose to move fully independent, we help you transition without a fight. This is independence without the isolation: the credibility of a national practice with the autonomy of your own shingle.

Annuities and life insurance, integrated with the wealth relationship.

Legacy Life lets you serve a family's protection needs without sending the relationship, or the revenue, out the door. Many Legacy advisors are dual-registered with Legacy Wealth and Legacy Life, advising on investments and insurance side by side instead of referring out and hoping the client comes back. Annuities and full life coverage become a natural extension of the planning you already do, deepening the relationship and growing your book honestly, by serving the client more completely, never by chasing the next commission. It's another way to be the advisor who can handle everything a family's financial life requires.

Tax advisory and preparation, coordinated with the whole plan.

Legacy Tax lets you bring proactive tax advising and preparation into your practice, and refer with zero fear of losing the client. Because Tax sits inside the same ecosystem, the relationship stays yours, and families get coordinated guidance instead of a disconnected, transactional return. You become the advisor who offers holistic, life-centered planning across wealth, tax, life, and insurance, exactly what the next generation of clients expects. More complete service, more reasons for clients to stay, all without you personally becoming a tax expert.

Personal, commercial, and Medicare coverage.

Legacy Insurance lets you protect every dimension of the people you serve (personal lines, commercial, and Medicare) without building an insurance shop yourself. It's another arm you can lean on to make a family's coverage complete while keeping yourself as the single, trusted relationship at the center. Refer into it confidently: the client stays yours, and you've added real value instead of sending them to a competitor. One more way to be the advisor who can truly handle everything.

The operational hub: back office, client service, systems and processes, and the premium tech stack.

Legacy Support is the operational hub that takes the thirty hats off your head. Our team handles paperwork, account setup, transfers, and routine administration, while you get an industry-leading tech stack (enterprise CRM, financial planning, portfolio reporting, and investment research software) without the corporate red tape or the bill for assembling it yourself. We handle implementation and ongoing support, and our transitions team manages your move when you come aboard, so going independent never means rebuilding from scratch. This is the back office and the systems and processes that let you wear one hat: Authentic Advisor.

Regulatory requirements and risk management: proactive, not reactive.

Regulatory risk is the most dangerous of the Big 5 problems independence creates, and Legacy Compliance is built to handle it, proactively, not reactively. Real compliance professionals manage your ADV, supervision, audits, and ongoing monitoring with tiered service levels, getting ahead of problems before they become violations. With dedicated compliance and archiving software and a designated compliance function behind you, you advise with confidence instead of fear. You stay focused on clients; we keep your back covered before anything ever goes wrong.

Third-party money management, investment research, and portfolio management.

Legacy Invest lets you offload portfolio management and research to a dedicated third-party money management arm: placing trades, conducting investment research, and providing client-approved market commentary. It's one of the highest-leverage moves available to you: instead of trading your time for every portfolio decision, you lean on specialists and institutional-grade research and reporting tools to deliver institutional-quality management at scale. You keep the client relationship and the planning; the heavy investment lifting is handled. More capacity, more consistency, and more time for the human work only you can do.

Media, marketing, and advertising: the media-leverage arm.

Legacy Creative is your media-leverage engine: branding, seminars, content, commercials, and infomercials that let one effort reach thousands without proportional extra work. Marketing and brand are among the four core forms of leverage, and most independent advisors lose access to them the moment they leave a big firm; Creative hands them back. Start with a free suite of tools to get going, then commission larger custom projects as you grow. It's how you build your book and your reputation through media, instead of cold-calling one prospect at a time.
