“For a small practice and small firm like mine, strategic partnerships are absolutely critical. Partnering with Croft Financial Group has enabled us to offer our clients a much higher level of service and a huge upgrade in our portfolio management, while allowing us to grow in terms of both managed assets and number of advisors. We’re able to do all that while lowering our costs, reducing our compliance requirements and admin, and increasing advisor and firm revenue.

An unparalleled “one stop shop” for any advisor looking to grow their business or service their clients better – or both – partnering with Croft Financial has been the single best move I’ve made in almost 20 years in the industry.”
