Choosing the Right Firm: Why Top Advisors Are Moving to One Advisory Partners
For financial advisors who’ve built their careers in traditional firms, the cracks in the old model are getting harder to ignore. From restrictive sales quotas to limited independence and opaque compensation structures, many advisors are questioning whether their current environment truly allows them to put clients first—or grow their practice as they envision.
If you’re one of them, you’re not alone. A growing number of talented, client-focused advisors are leaping firms that offer more freedom, support, and alignment with their values. One Advisory Partners is proud to be one of those firms leading the way.
The Problem With the Traditional Model
Many advisors start their careers at big-name firms that provide structure and brand recognition—but over time, those advantages often come at a cost:
Sales pressure over service: Advisors are pushed to meet product quotas, often at the expense of what’s best for the client.
Limited product options: Proprietary investment products and platforms restrict your ability to deliver truly personalized solutions.
Complex compensation: Confusing or commission-based pay structures can undermine trust with clients.
Compliance red tape: Bureaucracy slows down innovation and frustrates both clients and advisors.
These challenges don’t just affect your bottom line—they can affect your ability to serve clients the way they deserve.
The One Advisory Difference
At One Advisory Partners, we’ve reimagined what an advisory firm can be. We were founded by advisors who believed there had to be a better way—one rooted in clarity, independence, and long-term client relationships. Here’s what sets us apart:
1. We’re Fiduciary-First. Always.
We operate as a full-time fiduciary, with no hidden incentives or third-party commissions. That means your advice is always guided by what’s best for the client—not by a product list or internal compensation target.
2. Flat, Transparent Fee Structure
Our predominantly flat-fee model is simple and easy for clients to understand. It builds trust and reinforces that your success is aligned with theirs.
3. Holistic, Integrated Planning Platform
You’ll have access to a collaborative team that includes financial planners, tax strategists, investment managers, and legal professionals. That means you can offer comprehensive, high-value guidance without trying to be an expert in everything yourself.
4. Virtual-First, Modern Approach
We embrace technology to simplify your workflow and enhance client engagement—so you can focus more on relationships and less on logistics.
5. A Culture of Partnership
At One Advisory, we believe in working with you, not over you. You’ll find a team that values your voice, supports your growth, and gives you the freedom to build the kind of practice—and life—you want.
What Advisors Are Saying
Advisors who’ve joined One Advisory often tell us the same thing: "This is what I always hoped advising could be." They feel more connected to their clients, more in control of their time, and more excited about the future of their business.
They also appreciate the ability to:
Spend less time on bureaucracy and more time building real client relationships
Focus on planning—not product pushing
Grow their practice within a supportive, values-driven environment
