other financial professionals, we feel that our
sole focus makes us the best in the  industry.

Financial Advisor Placement Services was founded
in 2009 by Shawn Smith to meet the needs of the
financial advisor who is considering a move to an
Independent Broker Dealer.  We work as the
broker's "agent" to help the advisor find the
firm to meet their professional requirements in
order to best serve  their clients.   Financial
Advisor Placement Services will sift through the
many National, Regional and Independent broker
dealers, and RIA firms, and help the advisor to
answer the questions which accompany a firm
change.  We have developed many relationships
with the decision makers at the firms we
represent .
