We’ll help you operate in good standing so you can run a profitable financial practice.

People have some pretty funny ways of differentiating the front office from the back office. For some, it is as simple as the front office makes the money while the back office makes sure everything is in order. Others compare the two to a sports team made up of front-office star players and back-office journeymen players — the journeymen do the work that allows the stars to shine.

At RIA Registrar, we are OK with being the supporting players, making it possible for our clients to make names for themselves. We work quietly in the background, while making sure everything is in order for you and your firm to shine.

We take the time to share our knowledge with our clients so that they have the best registration support, training, and compliance service possible. With our help, the entire process of setting up a firm and properly maintaining it is a little less overwhelming.

RIA Registrar brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to you garnered from years of experience working in RIA compliance. We come from various business backgrounds, such as law firm administration, financial planning, licensing, insurance, investments and regulatory fields. We are all devoted to making the registration process and compliance requirements as smooth as possible.

Meet our dedicated team.
