Due Diligence: A Blueprint for Transitioning to a new Broker Dealer

This thought-provoking report will show you how to conduct proper due diligence on any broker dealer.


Providing concierge service to Financial Professionals

The Professional Alliance provides a wide selection of the best financial products… expert operational support… and competent, efficient service… without a sales culture. We support financial services professionals who want to grow their fee-based asset management revenue while maintaining the ability to offer traditional commission products.Learn More

Maintaining our autonomy enables us to protect yours
TPA has selected Cambridge Investment Research as our independent broker dealer. But The Professional Alliance is not owned by Cambridge. We are not employees of Cambridge and do not receive any compensation from Cambridge. This unique structure enables us to truly be your advocate and provide you with unmatched personalized support.Learn More

Join Cambridge Investment Research without the minimum production
The Professional Alliance enables Rep/Advisors to join a leading independent broker dealer without the usual production requirement. While Cambridge Investment Research requires a minimum annual production of $100,000 to join the firm, this stipulation is waived for members of The Professional Alliance. Learn More

Build your fee business by learning from The Fee Experts™
Freedom to choose requires a broker/dealer with the widest range of options, and nobody offers more fee-based options than Cambridge. While some Rep/Advisors can satisfy their clients' needs with just a few mutual fund choices, an ever-increasing number are turning to professional money management using multiple trading platforms, requesting customized fee schedules, even creating new programs for their clients.Learn More

TPA specializes in supporting accountants and attorneys
The principals of The Professional Alliance have supported CPAs and tax professionals for almost twenty years, making us one of the most experienced teams in the industry. Unlike salespeople who want to “partner” with an accounting firm just to sell products, we empower the tax professional by maintaining and building client relationships by efficiently offering new financial services.Learn More

Independent and built to stay that way
Nothing is more frustrating to an independent-minded professional than having their broker dealer gobbled up by an insurance company or other proprietary organization. The management teams at The Professional Alliance and Cambridge Investment Research are dedicated to your continued objectivity and will remain independent.Learn More

Rep/Advisors own their book of business
One of the most important facets of having a financial services practice is the opportunity to own your book of business. TPA and Cambridge will never infringe on your ownership and ability to sell your practice to whomever you want, whenever you want. You've worked hard to build your business, so we also offer a succession planning program to assist Rep/Advisors with selling their practice when the time comes.Learn More

We are a destination, not a stepping stone
The Professional Alliance is committed to the success of our Rep/Advisors. We get to know each of our financial professionals personally and create a customized strategy to support them efficiently and effectively. Our broker dealer, Cambridge Investment Research, is the dominant leader in fee-based business. And our culture and philosophy are important factors you can count on for the long term.Learn More
