The collaboration creates a platform to combine the rigorous voice of the financial services consumer of the Spectrem Group into the education and professional development programs of Cannon.
“Our firms have worked in complimentary ways over the past twenty plus years,” said Buchanan. “It is abundantly clear that financial services firms and their client facing professional need to better understand and relate to the wants, needs and desires of the clients they serve.

Bringing this perspective into the classroom will enhance advisors’ abilities to serve clients.
