Specially made for a particular person.

Plenty of consulting programs claim to prescribe “the best way” for you to run your business. But ultimately no off-the-shelf system will solve all of your unique business challenges. Transcend PM knows what standardized programs won’t admit…they were not designed for you.

Exceptional consulting is an act of creativity.

Transcend PM has created a custom approach for its financial advisor clientele. We take the time to listen and understand in an independent and objective way, applying decades of experience and creativity. The result is a truly bespoke solution.

We never stop looking for new angles
to solve hard problems.

SUCCESSION PLANNING​

Whether you are planning to retire in 1 year or 10 years, having a plan to transition your business to your successor is the key to making it happen smoothly. We will help you through due diligence, agreement design, negotiation, and valuation, as well as implementation considerations such as communications strategies, staffing design, and operation adjustments.

ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN​

Businesses are living entities and the roles that you need in place will shift with time, as will the knowledge and skills that your team needs to do their jobs best. Transcend PM will help you design an organizational response to the opportunities in front of you so that you can grow and take on new initiatives with confidence.

COMPENSATION STRATEGIES​

How you and your team are rewarded for the work you do may change as your firm evolves. We will work with you to design compensation strategies that not only reward work well done but incentivize growth and personal development for the long-term.

ACQUISITION

Mergers and acquisitions are hot topics in the financial advisory industry and you may be thinking about whether either strategy is the right way for your firm to grow. Transcend PM draws on decades of experience helping firms to navigate the M&A arena to help you gain clarity on the path that works for you.

Coaching

As your coach, we will guide you through change so that you can face the future with optimism and enthusiasm. We do this by connecting your inner purpose with the goals that you have set out to achieve.

Executive coaching increases self-awareness, clarifies goals, helps you achieve your development objectives, and unlocks your potential.

Leadership coaching works with high achievers to make a lasting impact on their business. It maximizes relationships and increases productivity through heightened motivation, inspiration, and creativity.
Accountability coaching ensures you stay on track to achieve what is important to you. Sharing your goals with a professional coach is a critical first step and, as your accountability partner, we will help you identify and hold to the commitments that you make.
