2025 was a year of historic growth for RIA's as deal volume surged. But what's next for the industry? Host Matt Ackermann chats with David DeVoe, the maestro of data from Devoe & Company, to break down what’s driving convergence and what it signals for the future. Dave explains why M&A is now “embedded in the DNA” of the RIA space, revealing that the desire for scale is currently the biggest driver of deals, though the long-anticipated succession crisis is rapidly catching up. DeVoe shares surprising data on the “trend toward mediocrity” in human capital, and why only 22% of firms believe their next-generation leaders can afford to buy them out. Matt and Dave also discuss the rise of “Wirehouse 2.0” and the anecdotal potential for a new wave of breakaways. Tune in to understand the true state of the RIA union and what's coming down the pike next for advisors.

In this episode of Perfectly Integrated, host Matt Ackermann welcomes Lacy Shrum, CEO of Smart KX, to demystify the topic of financial advisor billing, a subject often avoided or misunderstood within the industry. The conversation focuses on how Smart KX is bringing transparency, confidence, and innovative technology to the complex process of fee calculation. Lacy Shrum explains that traditional advisor billing—often done quarterly in advance based on just four market days per year—creates tremendous regulatory and business risk. This method leads to problems like: Advisors feeling pressure to time the market around those four billing days. Clients feeling overcharged when the market drops after a bill is calculated at a high point. Complex, opaque, and time-consuming manual adjustments for cash flows and portfolio changes. Advisors feeling pressured to offer discounts, which erodes their internal value and creates regulatory risk. The core innovation, Smart Recon, is a feature that allows RIAs to maintain quarterly billing in advance (which firms need) but introduces a reconciliation at the end of the quarter. This provides a fairer calculation by compensating the advisor for the value of all days in the quarter, mitigating the risk associated with relying on only four market days. Lacy shares that the next major innovation for Smart KX is a comprehensive fee analysis tool. This tool will provide advisors with actionable data on their book of business—such as average blended rates and client spend—to help them understand their business better and identify holes. It will include “what if” capabilities to model the impact of changing fee structures and provide the tools to quickly document and implement necessary fee changes, optimizing the full revenue lifecycle from months down to minutes.

What does it take to build a perfect partnership? Well, its 50% perspiration and 50% partnership. This episode of Perfectly Integrated features a conversation with John Pastore (Executive Vice President, Integrated Partners), Anthony Marotti (Private Wealth Advisor, Integrated Partners), and Craig Eaton (Eaton Advisory Group, CPA) discussing their successful partnership within the Integrated Partners CPA alliance. The CPA Alliance: A Perfect Partnership Host Matt Ackermann opens by highlighting Integrated's CPA Alliance as a key differentiator, emphasizing that success relies on great advisors partnering with great CPAs. John Pastore describes the formula for a successful pairing as combining a well-trained, confident advisor (like Anthony) who aims to work on complex cases, with a forward-thinking, proactive accountant (like Craig) who stays on the “razor’s edge of the new tax rules.” He likens the match to a “Reese’s peanut butter cup,” emphasizing their shared will to do their best for clients and their dedication to continuous learning. Anthony Marotti notes that the CPA Alliance and culture were major factors in his decision to join Integrated Partners. Having previously built a financial planning division within an accounting firm, he already understood the immense value of this relationship. Craig Eaton, an acclaimed CPA, found the partnership with Anthony to be a “perfect marriage” that significantly enhances his offering to clients, especially by adding a deeper layer of lifetime income planning and wealth management to his tax planning expertise. Moving from Preparer to Planner A central theme of the discussion is the critical shift in the CPA’s mindset from just preparing taxes to proactively planning for clients. John Pastore defines Craig as the “accountant of the future,” who takes the time to “defend his client’s wealth against unnecessary taxes.” This proactive, 360-degree approach turns the CPA firm into a boutique setting that integrates professional expertise for the best purpose of the client. The greatest client complaint against advisors is not bringing “fresh new ideas” to the table, a gap this partnership fills. Anthony Marotti says the brightest CPAs are embracing this planner mindset, while others remain “creatures of habit” focused only on deadlines and structure. The partnership with Craig began because they both saw the “light and the synergies” in working together on complex client cases. Trust, Fiduciary Duty, and The “Good Guest” The gentlemen stress that trust and respect are the foundations of their collaborative approach. Craig Eaton was never skeptical because he felt the partnership with Anthony and John would immediately round out his skill set, especially in areas like investment portfolios and insurance. John Pastore describes Anthony as a “phenomenal guest in Craig’s house,” meaning he complements the CPA’s existing good work without trying to take over. Craig Eaton affirms this, noting that Anthony is a “really good guest” who isn’t there to “sell my clients,” but to help and give advice, reinforcing the trust the clients already have with Craig. Anthony Marotti confirms this helper’s mindset, emphasizing that the CPA-client relationship is one of the most trusted in the financial world. The goal is to act as a good steward and solve the “puzzle” of every client’s needs, leading to clients for life. Advice for Advisors and CPAs The conversation concludes with advice for their peers in both professions. Craig Eaton’s Advice to CPAs: “You have to do it.” Staying transactional (tax prep only) won’t work long-term. He recommends CPAs adopt a mindset of being an advisor, move from hourly billing to fixed-fee engagement (which forces quarterly planning), and leverage partnerships like this to solidify relationships and bring value. Anthony Marotti’s Advice to Advisors: Find a partner you can be comfortable with and confident with. He stresses that the initial steps are simple—just saying, “We’ve got somebody that can review your plan/portfolio,” is enough to open the door to collaboration and great things. John Pastore’s Final Thought: He is grateful for CPAs like Craig who recognize that the next 10 years will not look like the last 20-30. With 50% of working CPAs retiring soon, visionary CPAs will meet challenges by partnering with Integrated to offer wealth services.

How do you create true brand authenticity in wealth management? Matt Ackermann of Integrated Partners sits down with Liz Frtiz, the co-founder of F2 Strategy, at the Future Proof Conference to discuss the critical intersection of technology, marketing, and branding. Liz shares her experience co-founding F2 Strategy nearly a decade ago, noting that the firm is the largest pure-play wealth management tech consultancy, focused on helping firms build and execute their technology roadmaps. Key Insights: The Tech-Marketing Connection: Liz highlights that F2’s approach to technology strategy mirrors good marketing: both require firms to define their vision, target market, differentiators, and values. This process helps clients build a digital experience that stands out. The Marketer as Translator: Liz sees her role as a “translator,” taking the complex technical language of wealth firms and vendors and translating it into messaging that resonates with the end-client user, focusing on how the tech solves problems and improves their lives. The Power of an Authentic Brand: Building a strong brand requires authenticity. While channels like video and podcasts are popular, Liz advises advisors to identify their authentic self and be confident in the communication medium that feels most natural. Culture as Authenticity: She emphasizes that a true unique culture is built on authenticity, which leaders must encourage and model internally. Starting with small, honest admissions makes it a safe space for others to be their true self, which is less exhausting than “playing a character.” AI and Human Connection: Liz believes technology and marketing are now inseparable. She sees AI not as a replacement, but as a tool to deepen human connection. By handling operational tasks, AI creates the most valuable resource—time—allowing advisors to engage in “more humanness,” such as proactive client conversations and personal outreach. Standing Out in the AI Era: As AI-generated content becomes “table stakes” and generic, the authentic, “in-color” outliers, specifically the people who dare to be themselves and offer unique perspectives, will be easier to spot and will naturally attract attention and trust.

What does it take for advisors to stand out from the crowd with investing? The answer: Hyper customization aligned with values. Matt Ackermann, live from the Future Proof Conference, sat down with Alex Laipple, the chief growth officer at Ethic, to discuss the firm’s robust approach to wealth management. Ethic, which has grown to $7.5 billion under management, helps advisors and partners “invest with intention” through personalization. Key Takeaways: The Power of Personalization: Investing must be personal to be sustainable. Ethic drives this experience using technology to make personalized, scalable solutions accessible. Intention in Models: While personalization is critical, advisors need a balanced, intentional approach to model portfolios (avoiding both too few and too many options) to maintain scalability. Standing Out Through Storytelling: Effective marketing for advisors involves being focused and robust. Ethic supports this by using its in-house video studio to create high-quality content that amplifies partners' stories and helps clients digest complex investment solutions. The Future of Wealth Transfer: It is important to deliver a robust experience to the next generation now, as failing to connect with them is the biggest threat during the great wealth transfer.
