Were you aware that as a CPA you are allowed to receive monetary compensation for referring your accounting practice clientele to an investment advisor? Your practice could be making more money for you with little extra effort by using a compensated referrals arrangement. At the intersection of the AICPA code and SEC law lays a means for accountants to build an ancillary income source into their business by referring their tax practice clients to a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) for investment advisory and financial planning services. Provided that certain standards are met and laws are followed, accountants may receive a portion of the recurring investment advisory and financial planning fees derived from referred clients, while still fulfilling the fiduciary duties set by the relevant governing bodies and regulators. 

If you’d like to learn more about contracting with a Registered Investment Adviser to receive referral compensation, please contact 4Thought Financial Group Inc. Our firm has been working within the established regulatory framework with accountants like you since our inception in 2012, and our founding shareholders have done the same for over two decades. Learn more about partnering with a firm that can guide you through the process of establishing this new profit center by contacting us today.
