Compliance with state mandates is required, but employers have flexibility in how they meet those obligations.

What happens in Vegas… comes back as better service for our clients. 🎲

David and Justin spent a week at the annual Raymond James conference in Las Vegas learning from portfolio managers, top advisors from around the country, and home office leaders about the future of our industry.

One of the biggest takeaways? AI is rapidly changing the way advisors operate — helping create more efficient research, smarter planning, and a better overall client experience. We're excited about how these new tools can help us spend less time behind the scenes and more time focused on what matters most: our clients and their goals.

A great week of learning, networking, unflitered jokes from Jay Leno, and maybe a little Vegas fun mixed in too. Always grateful for opportunities to grow and bring fresh ideas back home.
