PFI Advisors Announces The COO Roundtable Podcast Panel Series
In its continued efforts to champion Operations professionals within the RIA industry, PFI Advisors to release The COO Roundtable podcast to highlight the importance of a COO and the complexities its role entails
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PFI Advisors ("Pure Financial Independence") announced today that the firm has launched a new podcast, formally airing in 2019. The podcast, The COO Roundtable, Powered by PFI Advisors, will feature an interview with two or three Chief Operating Officers per episode, discussing the strategies they incorporate to successfully tackle their day-to-day responsibilities. PFI Advisors plans to highlight operational best practices and the benefits that professional management can bring to an RIA.
PFI Advisors' inaugural guests will be some of the COOs most recently highlighted in PFI Advisors' white paper, "Exploring the Benefits of Professional Management for RIAs - A Deeper Look into Chief Operating Officers:" Gary T. Bonner of Avalon Advisors, Jeff Fuhrman of Coastal Bridge Advisors, Michael Lee of LourdMurray, and Anthony Craun of Sand Hill Global Advisors. Trevor Chuna of Sequoia Financial will be joined by Shaun Kapusinski, Director of Operations of Sequoia, in a subsequent episode.
With the goal of shedding light on the tremendously important work COOs perform every day, this podcast should shift the mindset of operations professionals from being viewed as "cost centers" and not "revenue generators" within sales organizations. PFI Advisors intends to demonstrate that, without leveraging a Chief Operating Officer, RIAs cannot achieve the organic or inorganic growth initiatives they set for themselves. PFI Advisors strongly believes that COOs are needed to free the owners of these organizations from the daily minutiae of running a business.
As Jeff Fuhrman said during his interview for our recent white paper, "It's the Chief Operating Officer's duty to be in the wings, supporting the role of the advisor. Leave the management of the firm to the COO, and they will make sure advisors get what they need so they can do the most effective job for their clients."
PFI Advisors' goal is to help the industry realize the massive value Operations professionals bring to RIAs. Every advisory firm struggles with the goal of providing high-touch service to a larger client base in a scalable and efficient fashion. It is the COO's job to execute the owner's vision through people and technology, and to execute that vision profitably.
