Passed series 65 exam, looking for an IA firm

[Dan Blaylock]

I'm an accredited investor by the old metric but I really can't stand handing over personal financial info every time I consider doing a crowdfunded deal. I've taken and passed the series 65 exam so I can provide proof of accreditation easily.

Problem is - now I need to firm where I can hang my license. Anyone have any ideas on what kind of firm would want a financial advisor that doesn't actually need a job? I'm in Arizona.

There’s no such firm. It’s rather expensive to be registered. More importantly that firm would be obligated to monitor your outside business activities. In this case that would be a large undertaking it seems.

Also most RIAs have investment monitoring policies that would prevent you from investing on your own and potentially from even doing crowdfunding.

Let us know if you find some firm though. You are not the only one I know of going down that rabbit hole.
