NAVIGATE THROUGH OUR BEST PRACTICES

Receive a fair business valuation

We believe in transparent, equitable valuations that reflect the true worth of your financial planning practice. With Savvy, you're not just another number. We engage with independent third parties to offer you a fair valuation with underwriting that considers not just your current portfolio and AUM, but the intrinsic value of your client relationships.

Backed by strong financial stability

A solid financial foundation ensures that we're not just acquiring your business; we're making a long-term investment. Unlike many buyers who might stretch their resources thin, Savvy boasts a strong financial backing, working with both M&A professionals and independent third-parties to ensure we become a reliable partner for your practice’s future.

Smooth transition for your clients

The most critical aspect is a smooth transition for your clients. Savvy understands the bonds you've built over the years, and we strive to maintain those relationships with the same level of expertise and care that you've provided. Our proprietary digital onboarding for clients takes less than 15 minutes, combining many aspects of the onboarding prospects into a single user experience.
