What This Would Cost to Build
If you built these systems yourself:
- Researching best practices: 40 hours
- Creating templates: 30 hours
- Testing workflows: 20 hours
- Documenting procedures: 30 hours
Total: 120 hours at $100/hour = $12,000
You get it free.
Rather Have Us Implement This For You?
This playbook shows you HOW to build efficient RIA operations. But you still have to:
- Implement the systems yourself
- Train your team
- Execute ongoing operations
- Manage it all
Do it yourself
- Time: 40-60 hours to implement
- You need: Discipline, follow-through, team buy-in
- Cost: Your time
We implement for you
- Time: 0 hours from you
- We handle: Everything + ongoing execution
- Cost: $2,500-$8,000/month (replaces hiring operations manager)
Neither is wrong. Depends on what makes sense for your firm.
If you are:
- Managing $200M+ AUM
- Spending 20+ hours/week on operations
- About to hire an operations manager
...outsourcing often makes more sense than DIY.
