Your Path to

True Independence

Breakaway Independent Advisors is an established fee-only RIA. Advisors affiliate with us as independent contractors, under their own brand, while we handle the technology, compliance, and custodial relationships behind the practice.

Independence without building the firm yourself.

You do not have to register your own RIA to work independently. Affiliating with an established registered investment advisor gives you fiduciary, fee-only independence on day one, your brand, your clients, your service model, without the registration, the vendor contracts, or the compliance infrastructure to build and maintain.

01

Your Own Brand

Most advisors join under their own name and identity. You keep the practice you built, we sit behind it as the registered investment advisor.

02

Independent Contractor

You affiliate as a 1099 independent contractor, not an employee. You run your practice, set your service model, and control your calendar.

03

Payouts Up to 97%

A flat monthly affiliation fee and a tiered payout schedule that starts at 90% and reaches 97%, no grid, no production hurdles.

We cover the infrastructure. You cover the client.

Platform access, custody pricing, a pre-built technology stack, compliance support, IT and cybersecurity, and a client website portal are all part of affiliation.
