About Merissa Davis Consulting

As an Independent Consultant with over 25 years of experience in the financial services industry, I understand the challenges facing advisors as they move toward independence and business ownership. I have committed myself to being the best at guiding advisors on this journey, and especially during the most critical time – The First 120 days. While most advisors work with a team of professionals telling them “what to do”… I specialize in the “how to do.” I’m different because I won’t just do it for you – I’ll make sure your team can handle the operations of the firm and show them the right tools to use, the right questions to ask, and the right resources to leverage. While many other consultants working with financial advisor teams specialize in taking things off the teams’ plate, I specialize in the behind-the-scenes work of setting the team up for initial success, while also ensuring they have built repeatable and scalable processes for continued success. Advisors have countless questions during their transition period, regardless of whether it’s before making the leap to independence, while they’re setting up their firms, or even after launch. I serve these teams as an IACCP®-certified compliance and operations specialist to help them get their firm up and running the right way from day one. My primary goals for advisor teams are: - To help them understand regulatory commitments. - To help them build operational efficiencies in support of their compliance programs. - To help them prepare for their first asset count and ADV filing. - To help guide and prepare them for their first billing – from FinTech setup to bank. Wherever you’re at in your independence journey, if you’re struggling with operational efficiency, setting up FinTech, compliance and regulatory requirements, or helping your staff understand their new roles – I can help.
