Before FINTRX

Challenges before FINTRX

Before FINTRX, the team faced a set of connected research, targeting, and workflow constraints.

Manual Research Across Multiple Sources

Identifying opportunities required leveraging public databases such as SEC filings, BrokerCheck, LinkedIn, and internally built lists, with information gathered and organized manually.

Need for More Structured, Repeatable Search Processes

As the firm expanded its focus on M&A and advisor recruitment, there was a growing need to move from opportunistic sourcing to a more systematic, repeatable approach.

Highly Specific Target Criteria

The team focuses on independent RIAs within defined parameters (AUM range, client size, custodians, advisor credentials), requiring precise filtering to consistently surface relevant opportunities.

Fragmented View of Opportunity Data

Pulling together relevant firm and contact information required aggregating data from multiple sources, making it more time-consuming to organize and evaluate opportunities efficiently.
