Financial Advisor Placement

Having placed hundreds, if not thousands of advisors throughout our careers, at Trusted Visions, we have a deep understanding each and every advisor has a unique practice. Our systematic approach finds the right broker-dealer partner for you and your practice. We begin by having an introductory call with you and your staff to better understand your practice, clientele and what has made you unhappy with your current broker-dealer.

From that beginning, we dig much deeper to uncover all the factors that need consideration in order to hone in on the ideal broker-dealer partner. This goes far beyond your current pricing, payout and fees you pay!

Consulting Services

Whether you are looking to increase business development team productivity, need a personalized teamwork evaluation or require exclusive representation for a career move, we can help!

Business Development Consulting

If you are a leader of a Business Development team and feel that you are either not getting the full potential out of the team or would like to refine the teams skill set we can help. We have several different consulting packages to fit your firm’s needs. Common issues addressed are:
  • Team rebuilding
  • Pricing and payout grids
  • Restructure marketing efforts
  • Territory restructuring
  • Home office visit experience
  • Advisor Retention
Today, business development leaders are constantly inundated with unproductive distractions. Sometimes reevaluating marketing strategies and implementing a new, simplified structure is all that is needed. Other times, you need to simply get more out of your team. Whatever your situation, we can help prioritize the essentials to help your team be more productive!

Financial Professional Placement

If you are looking for your next career opportunity in the financial services industry or just feel burnt out by your current role and lack of challenge, we can help. At Trusted Visions, we will have an introductory call with you to understand your skill set, your current role and what you are looking for in your next career move. We will then review your resume, expectations, and salary requirements to ensure we are setting you and your family up for success.

Conversely, if you are looking to hire an accomplished executive with very specific qualifications, we can help. Unlike most executive search firms, we have been in various Business Development roles throughout our careers and spent time in the shoes of those you are looking to hire. Therefore, we are able to thoroughly screen candidates for your firm and ensure that you are getting the very best talent in the industry.

Our Philosophy

Working with Trusted Visions, you will never feel like a number, but will become the focal point of our quest to find the perfect fit in your new broker-dealer relationship.

Responsiveness

We are extremely responsive to each advisor that works with Trusted Visions and are available 24/7 to answer questions. We truly understand the importance of your decision to move and realize the impact it will make on your business, its marketing, current business relationships, not to mention the stress it can put on you and your family.

Something pop into your head or a question comes up while you’re eating dinner? Give us a call. We don’t want you worrying about it all night!

Suitability

Sure, we could supply a list of broker-dealers we work with and tell you to call them, but relationships are formed with a personal touch.

A thorough conversation with our placement team sets the tone for what we hope will be a new, more exciting and profitable relationship with your new broker-dealer partner. We delve into everything that is important to you, ask more about what is not and narrow down the partners we know will not work. From there, we REALLY get into the details to find your perfect fit!

Representation

Representation does not just mean our company’s name is on the list to get paid once you affiliate. It means we are with you through every step of the process.

From presenting documentation and figures to prospective partners, to office space allowance, marketing budgets and negotiating pricing and payouts, we work to get you the very best a new broker-dealer partner has to offer!

My experience with Jeremy Belfiore has been absolutely wonderful.  I had worked with Jeremy four years prior when I moved my business to another Broker Dealer.  It was at that time a very positive, trusting relationship developed between us.  Recently I had been thinking of retirement.  Out of the blue I received a text from Jeremy saying give him a call.  He had seen me on a social media website.   Less than 24 hours prior, I had been praying for help, and yes God does move mountains!  He sent Jeremy back into my life so he could help me. After I called Jeremy and told him I had no idea how to sell by business, and had no idea what the value of my business would be.  After a long conversation I was happy to hear that retirement was no longer just a dream.  Jeremy said he knew someone who would be very interested, and within 2 hours I was on the phone with a very interested prospect to buy my business. Today, just a short time after that conversation, I am very pleased to say I am retired as of December 31, 2019.  This is 100% because of Jeremy Belfiore.  I have been so fortunate to have someone like Jeremy who is honest, truthful and who wants the very best outcome for his clients.  Today, it is extremely difficult to find someone you can totally trust, and who has the honesty it takes to have a wonderful working relationship.  Needless to say, I totally recommend Jeremy Belfiore for your future needs. Thank you, Jeremy for making such a life changing event in my life become a happy reality.

I have had the opportunity to know Jeremy Belfiore since 2017 when I was searching for a new broker/dealer for my OSJ of approximately 30 advisors. As we all know changing firms is no small task and as typical in our industry most recruiters and firms tell you what you want to hear, but in most cases not the full story. For most “recruits” you simply want to deal with honesty…tell us the good about your firm but also tell us where they may fall short! While I won’t speak of other recruiters, I will highly speak about Jeremy. His commitment to honesty is refreshing and building a personal relationship with you stands out most in my mind…so much to the point where you feel he is not only just a recruiter but more than that a friend you can trust. Making such a huge change, especially for an OSJ has so many moving parts. You need to navigate learning a new system, need to learn who to call for assistance, etc. and for my group and I having Jeremy take the lead on this was paramount to our successful transition.

I currently manage a $15 million OSJ with 47 financial advisors and numberous staff members. I have been in the financial services industry for 30+ years and have worked with Jeremy Belfiore for nearly 10 years. Jeremy was assigned as the recruiter with my previous firm to assist our OSJ in recruiting and our relationship manager I have worked with many recruiters and professionals throughout my career and would hands down have to say that Jeremy is one of the most diligent and professional individuals that I have worked with. His drive, motivation, professionalism, and overall ability to think outside the box are many of the unique characteristics I would use to describe him. His responsiveness to his clients is above any I have seen in the industry or any industry for that matter. Jeremy has a way of challenging me to gain even greater results in my recruiting efforts and does a great job of acting as a coach, consultant, and friend. He truly cares about his clients and does not look at any client as just a client, but as a trusted friend. I have not experienced any time where he did not follow through with his commitment or deliver on what he promised would be accomplished. Jeremy’s strong understanding of the recruiting landscape, the OSJ model, and industry as a whole is well above most of his peers or other executives within the industry. I would strongly suggest he and his expertise in any situation or task within the financial services industry. Jeremy is one of the most passionate and decicated professionals I have had the privilege of working with throughout my career and have become a very close personal friend.

Jeremy and Shaun are experts in their field. Transitioning broker dealers is hard and painstaking, but when you have help from Trusted Visions, it makes the move easier. Jeremy and Shaun kept me in clear communication with my onboarding team at my new broker dealer and kept the ball rolling to make sure my transition was as smooth as possible. They consistently provided support and encouragement and often had to calm me down when things weren’t going my way. I don’t want to imagine going through a broker transition again, but I certainly can’t imagine going through it alone. Whatever problems come up during the transition, it may take you by shock, but they have been there and know how to resolve the issue. I highly recommend Trusted Visions, not only to help you select your new broker dealer, but to help you get onboarded all the way. I’m sincerely happy where I am now, but if for some reason I ever had to move again, Trusted Visions will be my first call.

Back in early 2021 my OSJ and I were becoming more and more frustrated with the direction of our broker/dealer at that time. Having just moved broker/dealers approximately 4-years earlier the thought of doing so again was not exciting at all but I owed it to my clients and our advisors to provide the proper due diligence so we can all make an informed decision. I felt it important to work with a seasoned independent recruiter that has no ties to any firm but to provide me as much information so together we can find the right firm for my group and I. Having known Jeremy Belfiore for years and knowing his integrity, I reached out to him for assistance. It was crucial to find the right fit and join a firm where I can spend the rest of our careers and to do so I need a professional who could ask the questions that even after 35 years in the business I didn’t know to ask. For those advisors or OSJ’s contemplating a move, you will find the Jeremy Belfiore will truly represent your goals and needs. His team went above and beyond our expectations and after making it through our transition, with Jeremy in our corner, we definitely made the right decision. Thank you Jeremy. You are a true asset and more importantly a true friend!
