Realistic timeline

Readiness by dimension

Scores reflect how much preparation each area needs before a clean transition, not a judgment of your practice.

Where to focus first

See your economics.

W-2 versus your own P&L, at your production and in your state. And if you carry a forgivable note, whether it can be accommodated. The math runs on Axxcess systems, never in your browser, and it's unlocked with a code from your Axxcess contact.

Talk it through under NDA.

Your answers make a better first call. Share them with Adrienne and she'll come prepared. Or keep them to yourself and just book the conversation.

Back to Advisor Transitions
Methodology. Seven dimensions weighted equally; each scored 0–100 from two situational questions (most-prepared answer = 3 points, most-constrained = 0). Tiers: Exploring (<40) · Preparing (40–59) · Ready with a plan (60–79) · Transition-ready (80+). The recommended path is derived from your model-fit answers and is a starting point for the MOU conversation, not a commitment by either side. Timelines are conditional on custodian and contract facts you provide and are illustrative. Economics are illustrative only and are computed by Axxcess after an access code is validated.
