Looking to move on from your broker-dealer or RIA? Join Cambridge and let our Transition Team walk you through every step of your move.
The client. The client. The client.
As a financial advisor, everything comes down to the client. And rightfully so. If your current broker-dealer or Registered Investment Advisor isn’t putting you in the best position to serve your clients, it might be time to consider a move.
The problem with most transitions? They can be a hassle. Smooth transitions start with a support team that can guide you through every step of the process, allowing you and your clients to make the move with minimal stress and disruption.
And that’s what you’ll get at Cambridge. As an internally controlled financial solutions firm serving over 3,800+ independent financial advisors and their clients, we know the idea of changing your broker-dealer or RIA can be daunting. After making a life-changing decision to switch firms, the last thing you should have to worry about is the transition experience. From the initial consultation to account transfers and beyond, our Transition Support Team will support you with personalized plans, custom milestones, consultations, training, and more. You’ll never be alone here.
But don’t take it from us — hear how our Transition Team helped these advisors make a smooth transition.

Since Eric Schwartz founded the firm in 19811, Cambridge has helped financial advisors serve clients and build their businesses. Our mutual independence allows financial advisors control by offering a flexible range of products, solutions, technology platforms, and more.
Everybody talks about helping financial advisors and enterprise leaders grow, but Cambridge actually does it. I don’t know of another firm that has the coaching, recruiting support, and product footprint that Cambridge has.

I was like a kid at a candy store when I first got to Cambridge because we had so many products and sponsors to choose from. We never had that before. I was previously in a captive environment and had limited selection and shelf space. When I came to Cambridge, that all changed.

Kindness is very important to me and is another big positive reason why I enjoy my time at Cambridge. I've always been impressed with the culture and felt very welcomed here.
