You hold an unusual position: accountable for a number that goes to a board or a sponsor, with almost no instrumentation for the channel that produces most of it. The available levers today are encouragement, incentive schemes and an outside speaker. The Growth Office is the firm-wide surface that replaces them — same platform as the advisor sees, different view.
They want answers to eight questions. Today, most firms can answer none of them. The figures below are an illustrative firm, shown so you can test each question against your own.
Organic growth is net new assets over beginning assets, with market movement removed — every sponsor measures it this way. The twelve-month rate is 4.8%, against a 7% plan. Client referrals produced $43M of $89M new referred assets. Centers of influence produced $21M. Next-generation work and held-away consolidation produced $25M. Almost all of the gap to plan sits in one region.
Top quartile: two advisors convert at 31%. Bottom quartile: three advisors have high client satisfaction and zero structured asks in ninety days, and two of the three have not opened a brief in a month. The gap is initiation, not skill — which makes it a coaching problem, not a hiring problem.
The best moment is the review after a plan milestone, at 32% against a 21% firm average. The best framing is the advisor's own reason for the work, ahead of any offer. Both were promoted to the firm playbook and translated into each advisor's register.
7 households connect to a client of a different advisor in the firm. 23 high-scoring clients have had no approach in six months. 11 introductions appear in CRM notes and never became an ask. No individual advisor can see any of this.
34 active relationships across the firm. 9 produced an introduction this year. 12 have produced nothing for two quarters. Two advisors hold most of the productive ones, and their method is now a documented program rather than a personal habit.
9 BDRs active. 218 prospect conversations this quarter, 34 handed to an advisor, 11 closed. The hand-off is where the loss sits: a third of handed prospects had no advisor contact within two weeks. Two BDRs convert at double the team rate, and their opening is now in the firm playbook.
$310M of outside assets named in client conversations this year. $84M scored as movable within four quarters. $19M consolidated. The largest single gap is a $4.2M held-away account in a household the firm has served for nine years.
186 households sit below the current schedule. The realization gap is $1.9M a year. 34 of them have taken on new work since the fee was set, so the case is documented. The firm repriced 11 households this year and lost one of them. Repricing reports here and never in the growth rate — a fee correction moves revenue, not net new assets.
Illustrative figures for an example firm, not customer results.
Without this layer, a growth tool is sold bottom-up into a market that buys top-down. The Growth Office is what makes the purchase legible to the person accountable for the number.
The cross-advisor relationship graph, the language-to-outcome map and the chain from trigger to closed assets all need a view of every book at once, and a product present at every ask. A data warehouse will not produce it, because nobody created the underlying records.
An internal tool never collects cross-firm data, so it can never tell you how your growth rate compares to anyone else’s. Neutrality plus cross-firm scope is a combination only an independent platform can hold.
The Growth Office is quoted for the firm rather than bundled into a seat, because it answers a firm-level question that no individual advisor can ask. And WealthAmp never displaces a software budget — it lives in the growth line, beside coaching, events and marketing. A purchase that displaces nothing threatens nobody.
The Growth Office shows where the firm can help. It does not show who fails. There is no leaderboard anywhere in the product. We write “two advisors would benefit from rehearsal support”, never “two advisors are non-compliant”. Advisors always learn what the leadership view says about them — and on the day they decide this is a surveillance product, adoption stops. That makes it a product constraint, not a writing preference.
Bring your organic growth rate and your plan. We will show you the eight questions answered against a firm like yours — from independent RIAs to aggregator platforms and broker-dealer networks. CCO engagement before commercial terms, never after.
