Technology That Builds Value

In this episode of Advisor Talk, Jim Primiani, Chief Technology Officer at Elite Consulting Partners, and Sue Cheema, Chief Information Officer, take on a vital issue for advisors: how leveraging systems and processes can increase your firm’s valuation. Jim and Sue explain why technology isn’t just about convenience - it’s about scalability, reducing key person risk, and preparing your business for succession or M&A. They highlight the inefficiencies many advisors face, from living in spreadsheets to managing siloed platforms, and show how the right integrations can free up time, improve security, and make your firm more attractive to buyers.
