Founded in 2013, Bridgemark Strategies has grown to 16 advisor-facing recruiting and business development specialists. It has worked with thousands of financial professionals and supported the successful transition of financial practices representing billions in assets annually. To help address demographic trends impacting the wealth management industry and help solidify the firm's position as a pre-eminent transition consultancy, last year the firm expanded its offerings to include Bridge Marketplace, a no-cost, curated database of financial advisory owners looking to add next-generation advisors to their firm.

"The only constant in the wealth management space is change. To maximize long-term success, professionals must stay ahead of the curve while navigating an increasingly complex landscape. They need custom strategies and solutions informed by a hard-earned understanding of critical technologies and industry trends," concluded Nash. "Mistakes are costly in terms of time, money and reputation. At Bridgemark Strategies, our focus on Feel, Fit, Financials puts our clients on the path that's right for them."
