How do I build a business for maximum enterprisevalue? So, I asked our resident expert in M&A at Diamond Consultants, Louis Diamond , and he shared this real-world example: Let’s consider a wirehouse team generating $5mm in annual revenue, managing $600mm in almost all fee-based assets for high net worth clients.
As financial advisor recruiters and consultants, we realized something: Our team is constantly immersed in data on the things that are top-of-mind for advisors—whether or not they are considering change. Plus, advisors are thinking bigger picture and longer-term—with a more acute focus on building enterprisevalue.
That is, there are service providers that offer state-of-the-art platforms and support, an ever-growing number of consultants to serve as guides at start-up and longer-term, and a growing pool of capital resources available to advisors seeking working capital, liquidity, or to offset unvested deferred comp that may be left behind.
Theres no universally agreed-upon definition of the middle market, but typically it includes companies with annual revenues in the low hundreds of millions and enterprisevalues that dont quite reach the stratosphere.

Forgoing the opportunity to maximize career enterprisevalue While staying the course can minimize disruption and eliminate the risk of transitioning the business, in most cases, it results in sub-optimal career enterprisevalue.
Even the largest and longest-tenured teams, who would have been unlikely even to consider a move a few years ago, are “voting with their feet” as they ask themselves if their firm will still be the right one in the long term and will allow them to maximize enterprisevalue of the businesses they’ve built.
While all that’s still true, we’re seeing even further shifts to a greater focus on the long-term and maximizing their value. This will be the year that advisors take a step back and conceptualize not just how to maximize the value of their business and annual compensation, but how that translates into achieving their best business lives.
It really depends on what you value most (the ease of staying put versus maximizing enterprisevalue), how aligned you are with your firm’s future direction, how much you care about your next gen and your clients, and myriad other factors. Should you take the deal?
Help you grow faster; Allow you to deliver more and better resources to your clients; Help you develop your next gen or otherwise expand your team; Create a greater ease of doing business; Or enable you to maximize your enterprisevalue. Do no harm.
to looking at their business as a business in the longer-term (“I’m willing to give up short term upside in return for building lasting enterprisevalue.”). and “What deal will I be paid if I move?”) Today, more and more advisors are asking themselves the hard (but critical) questions earlier and earlier in their careers.
