Succession Planning
SRG’s Succession Planning service is designed for RIAs and advisors who want to build a structured, deliberate roadmap for transitioning ownership and leadership to the next generation.

SRG integrates vision with execution — aligning ownership structure, cash flow modeling, leadership transition, and purchase agreements into a cohesive succession framework.

Succession Maintenance Program
SRG’s Succession Maintenance Program is designed for financial professionals with an active succession plan who want to ensure that strategy remains current, accurate, and executable as their business evolves.

SRG provides structured annual updates, proactive check-ins, and ongoing support to keep every component aligned with current conditions.
