INDEPENDENCE

REDEFINED

You’ve poured your heart and soul into your business. Early mornings. Late nights. Long weekends. Building a successful practice that serves your clients’ best interests by safeguarding their hard-earned wealth. But just who is looking out for your best interests? It’s a question that gets asked far too infrequently.

YOUR VISION

YOUR WAY

It’s your name, your vision and your practice. Aligning with Aurora simply affords you an opportunity to build it more quickly, operate it more efficiently, and manage it more profitably. After all, independence shouldn’t mean isolation.

SEAMLESS

SCALABILITY

Whether you are a sole practitioner or an ensemble team, if your firm is passionate about developing and expanding client relationships, eager to shed most of the administrative, compliance, operational, and asset management responsibilities so you can focus on what you do best, then Aurora is an ideal fit for your future.

BUILT FOR YOU

BACKED BY US

When you first started out in this business, you had no choice but to take on the duties of head chef, maître d’, waiter and busboy. Over time, however, you’ve grown to understand the areas of your business you genuinely enjoy and excel at, as well as the tasks that while essential, are far from what motivate you. Why not turn over those unfulfilling aspects of your business to someone who excels at the operational aspects of running a practice, so you can focus on doing what you love.

“Quite simply we are driven to provide you with the support and service that makes a difference, adds real value and helps you achieve your goals.”

Being an independent advisor has many rewards but also many responsibilities, one of which is marketing your practice. Our ability to support your practice begins with providing you with the resources to build your brand. You can expect two things from Aurora that you won’t find at any other firm. The freedom to create a unique brand for your practice, and the resources to help you build it. Our solutions provide you with resources to assist you with:

Core Collateral (Stationary, Brochures, Logos, Pitchbooks)

Client Communications (Campaigns, Newsletters, Touch Points, Presentations, Mailers, etc.)

Office Experience (On hold messages, Posters, Signage)
Compliance Guidance

Back Office

Aurora is offering comprehensive back office operational services to support the efficiency and scalability of your practice. Leverage our scale and know-how so you can stay focused on revenue generating activities.

Investment Operations

Investment management is only part of the solution. Then it needs to be implemented. And unlike pooled investment vehicles like mutual funds, your clients typically have multiple taxable and tax-deferred accounts that require greater diligence and are ideally managed at the household level. We will assume responsibility for the daily download and reconciliation of client accounts plus all trading, re-balancing, trade allocation and tax efficiency.

Client Reporting

Then there is the regular work to produce the client level reporting that you and your clients need to oversee financial progress. We will be responsible for client level reporting and its delivery through a client vault branded for your practice.

Administration

Often the most time and patience consuming processes are account set-up and administration, billing and online document management. These require a familiarity with the custodian and your practice as well as trained staff to be done right.
Technology Suite

At Aurora, we don’t just talk about technology – we are committed to delivering integrated and industry-leading tools that make it easier for you to do business. Our singular focus is on providing you with the resources, technology, insights, support and expertise not only to realize your vision of what your business can become, but to help you unlock the value of your most important asset: YOU. Our custom-crafted Aurora platform allows you to hit the ground running with a fully-integrated and powerful best-of- breed technology lineup. We’ve crafted an open architecture custodian agnostic platform, free of any proprietary products which allows you to compete with the largest financial services firms in the country.
