The Financial Transitionist Institute (FTI) is the training and certification division of the Sudden Money Institute (SMI). With twenty years of experience, we offer the industry’s first designation in the human dynamics of financial change and transition­—the Certified Financial Transitionist® (CeFT®).

We work in five continents helping advisors separate themselves from their peers with the knowledge, process and tools necessary to handle the challenges of the personal side of money. Develop a deep understanding of the human dynamics of change and transition. Build their business on the premise that when a client’s life is changing, the client’s human experience of change is the starting place for protecting, recovering and increasing wellbeing.

Clients-in-transition often struggle with communication, decision-making, managing expectations, and even implementation, and they require a different set of tools and protocols than most advisors are used to. They also require a process that explores, integrates, and celebrates who they are as individual people. As human beings.

We have written the playbook for Financial Transitions Planning. We share it as part of our trainings and certification programs.

For independent RIAs who want to do right by their clients and build a business on their own terms, there’s only one choice. TD Ameritrade Institutional provides award-winning advisor tech, industry-leading service and advisor-first advocacy. The result? Efficiency. Growth.

Given our propensity to be more consultative in our interactions we have engaged with advisors through formal arrangements to evaluate their entire fixed income offerings. So whether you want to talk specifics around our credit mutual funds, explore more about your fixed income allocations in general or share more about your firm, stop by and say hello. We are here as a resource for you.

Zoe Financial was founded with the sole purpose of helping consumers with the important decision of hiring an advisor. Zoe carefully curates a network of independent, fee-only financial advisors and financial planners across the country. The advisors in the Zoe network are actual financial planning professionals, rather than salespeople trying to push a financial product on you. Are you fee only? Apply here.

We believe that the relationship between an enlightened financial planner and an equally enlightened client untaps tremendous value. Our matching algorithm provides a frictionless digital experience where you answer a few questions, review the matched advisor profile, and start chatting with them right away. Zoe turns the process on its head by allowing you to decide who you want to hire, with the click of a button.
