Financial Transparency works with independent advisors who are also committed to truly looking out for their clients. The founder, Emily Keagle's career as a consultant to both new and seasoned financial advisors put her in a unique position to really get to know dozens of advisor's practices around the country. To be able to observe the efforts, initiatives, and different business plans, she was able to learn what worked and what did not.
One important lesson was this: flexibility for advisor's different preferences is critical. This is why Financial Transparency was designed to be flexible and efficient, taking into consideration the desires that advisors have shared with her over the years.
