RIA In A Box Aligns with IARFC, Delivers RIA Registration, Consulting Services at Discounted Prices

April 11, 2010 - PRLog -- New York, NY – RIA In A Box (www.RIAinaBox.com), a consulting business aimed exclusively at efficient creation of registered investment advisory firms, today announced that through a joint effort between IARFC and RIA in a Box, IARFC members are now eligible to take advantage of strategic pricing to create their own Registered Investment Advisory firms.  Also included in the offer is the post-registration compliance services offered through the RIA in A Box sister company, Lexington Compliance.

The International Association of Registered Financial Consultants (IARFC) provides training, education, marketing, and professional services to 8,000 credentialed personal financial advisors.  

RIA In A Box provides all the tools and services needed to establish a Registered Investment Advisory firm, including all the state and SEC documents, contracts, manuals and training.  Its sister company, Lexington Compliance, offers a range of post-registration compliance services to Registered Investment Advisory Firms. Continuous monthly compliance support is available depending on the level of support the RIA firm requires.  

“Establishing their own RIA firms opens up a world of opportunity and the sky is truly the limit for our members,” said Ed Morrow, IARFC chairman.  “Once they are RIAs, advisors are positioned to become a trusted advisor who can provide recommendations, offer solutions, and enhance relationships with existing clients.  Regardless of background -- Insurance Agent, Registered Rep, Salesman, CPA – becoming an RIA can provide much more than financial success.  It becomes a business in which the client is not the only one to benefit from the advisor’s hard work and dedication.”

For IARFC members who may be at a stalemate in their business, becoming an RIA firm offers additional vehicles for success and income expansion, says Morrow.   “We want to help our members become RIAs as easily and efficiently as possible and RIA In A Box makes that possible.”

“We focus on getting RIAs up and running extremely quickly and cost-effectively, so they can be in business in weeks rather than months,” said Zachary Gronich, CEO.  “And our compliance services through Lexington Compliance help RIAs stay on track with the important legal and regulatory requirements that go with the profession.”

About RIA In A Box & Lexington Compliance

RIA in A Box prepares RIA registration materials for the creation of registered investment advisory firms most efficiently, submitting the requirements to the states and SEC in only three to seven days.  Since its founding by Zachary Gronich, CPA/PFS, in 2005, RIA IN A BOX has helped over 830 advisory firms get registered quickly and correctly the first time.  RIA In A Box works with all 50 states, Washington, DC, and the SEC.  

Lexington Compliance is a sister organization providing the on-going compliance support to all sized Registered Investment Advisory Firms.  Lexington provides four levels of continuous service ranging from on-call, 7 day a week email support for questions and concerns, to compliance review for all ads and materials and phone support, all the way to providing a dedicated compliance expert.  Because registered investment advisory firms are likely to be audited by the SEC or state once during their first year, Lexington Compliance offers a compliance review on site mock audit service which mimics the State or SEC audit.  Both Lexington Compliance and RIA In A Box are headquartered in New York with an additional office in Houston.
