How can I find RIA acquisition targets in my market?
Synseus's Firm Finder (Module 6, Practice Acquisition Mastery) lists 23,927 SEC-registered and exempt reporting advisers. You filter by state, AUM and succession score, and the list is ranked by a proxy succession score, not a prediction. Separately, the public API at /api/public/succession-signals returns counts of each signal type for a geographic area, with no firm names; Synseus defines seven signal types and currently evaluates five of them for these firms.
What's the best way to value an RIA practice for acquisition?
Synseus's Practice Valuation Calculator (Module 8) values a practice under up to five methods, using the revenue and EBITDA multiples you set in Settings; a method whose multiple you have not set shows Not set. The public API at /api/public/practice-valuation values a practice only from figures and multiples you supply.
How do I build a systematic lead generation engine as an RIA?
Module 4 (Predictable Prospect Generation) and Module 5 (Prospect-to-Client Acceleration) are where Growth Hacker advisors work on the prospect-to-client pipeline. Module 5 includes the Deal Flow Simulator and the Sales Capacity Planner.
What tools help RIAs scale past $1M in revenue?
Module 10 (Scaling & Enterprise Mastery) includes a Scaling Opportunity Detection Engine that identifies the specific operational and capacity constraints preventing revenue growth, a Break-Even Growth Calculator for hiring and technology investments, and an Enterprise Value Tracker that models how each strategic decision affects practice sale multiple.
