AboutBruce Julien Expertise I can answer questions on and raise issues clients overlook in the areas of Estate Planning as far as taxes and distribution flow problems, Asset Management as far as appropriateness of assets and allocations for a desired goal and the value a consumer gets for their costs, Tax Planning related to Income and Estates, and Insurance/Annuity questions particularly in light of suitability to the consumer.
Experience I became a CPA in 1991 and began offering financial advice in 1992. I am a Registered Investment Advisor which means I sign off on putting clients' interests first in a fiduciary role.
Education/Credentials BA in Accounting, University of Maryland 1990
My passion is stocks and bonds. I've invested for 45 years. I'd near selling my businesses. I'd like to become a Registered Investment Advisor in WI, and perhaps later, FL.
Can you tell me how to obtain materials that would allow me to study for exams, etc...?
I was on AllExperts for five years helping people. I respect this site.

Join an existing RIA firm. If your passion is stocks and bonds, you will hate having to do all the compliance and administrivia involved with setting up and maintaining a firm. If you find you love it all and want to run your own show unfettered, you can always branch out on your own. You will need a local firm hat will allow you to manage money yourself, not sell a prepackaged allocation or rotation formula. The local firm will get you licensed.
I would not start from scratch myself, today, I would do what I told you. I did it the other way years ago, but it was a different ballgame then.
