Episode notes
Archaic RIA Tech Creates Opportunity
- Wealth management tech is surprisingly archaic, leaving opportunity to build modern planning for underserved segments.
- Adam found few planners focused on cashflow and home affordability, so Domain built its own stack from scratch.
Use Flat Annual Fees For Henry Clients
- Offer clear flat annual pricing for clients who don't fit AUM models.
- Domain presents tiered flat fees ($3,200→$1,800; $4,800→$2,500; $7,800→$4,500) with defined services like tax filing and estate documents.
Scale Growth Through Consumer Channels
- Rapid consumer growth can scale an advice firm without advisor prospecting.
- Domain added ~150 clients/month, ~1,400 clients total, onboarding ~3 advisors/month and expecting ~$10M revenue in the year.
