5 Reasons To Work With a Financial Advisory Team
Teamwork makes the dream work, right? Every great sports team has a unique dynamic, drive, and spark that helped them to success. From the Miracle on Ice USA Hockey team, to the Chicago Bulls dynasty in the 90s, to the Patriots Brady-Belichick era of the 2000s and 2010s, each famous team of all-time greats has led to more than the sum of their parts.
The same can be said with a financial advisory team. While an individual advisor may be experienced, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and skilled, they can’t compete with a full team of financial advisors working in tandem to help you meet your goals. Here’s are five reasons why working with a team of financial advisors can benefit you.
Multi-Disciplined Approach to Financial Planning
Every financial professional brings unique training, backgrounds, and real-world experience to the table. When you work with a financial advisory team, your situation is analyzed from multiple angles—not just one perspective.
At Madison Financial Strategies, our collaborative approach combines the collective knowledge of 10+ independent financial professionals. This multi-disciplined methodology means:
- Your financial challenges receive diverse analytical perspectives
- Solutions are stress-tested against various market scenarios
- Strategies incorporate insights from different specializations
- Your plan benefits from decades of combined experience
Think of it as getting several expert opinions—all coordinated into one cohesive strategy.
Specialized Credentials and Expertise
A financial advisor team typically holds a broader range of professional credentials than any single advisor could maintain. These specialized designations represent advanced training in specific areas of financial planning, retirement strategies, insurance planning, and wealth management.
The Madison Financial Strategies team holds the following credentials to serve you better:
- FINRA Series 6, 7, 24, 63, and 65 licenses – Securities and investment advisory qualifications
- MBA (Master of Business Administration degree) – Advanced business education
- CLTC® (Certification for Long-Term Care) – Long-term care planning expertise
- CRPS® (Chartered Retirement Plans SpecialistSM) – Retirement plan design and management
- CLU® (Chartered Life Underwriter®) – Life insurance and estate planning
- ChFC® (Chartered Financial Consultant®) – Comprehensive financial planning
With a team, you aren’t limited to one advisor’s expertise—you gain access to specialists across multiple financial disciplines.
Comprehensive, Attentive Service
Financial advisors are human—we take vacations, attend family events, and occasionally face unexpected situations that require time away from the office. With a solo advisor, these absences can disrupt your service when you need it most.
A financial advisory team eliminates these service gaps.
When you trust your financial guidance to Madison Financial Strategies, you gain:
- Continuous support regardless of individual schedules
- Multiple points of contact for urgent questions
- Seamless transitions when your primary advisor is unavailable
- Dedicated support staff to handle administrative needs efficiently
Your financial concerns don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule—your advisory team shouldn’t either.
Coordinated Solutions with Legal and Tax Professionals
Having multiple financial advisors work in tandem on your goals means that we play well with others. That doesn’t just mean our own team, but your team as well. We encourage and invite you to bring your attorney, CPA, and other professionals into the planning conversations so we can deliver coordinated service and support.
How this benefits you:
- Coordinated communication between your financial, legal, and tax advisors
- Holistic strategies that consider all aspects of your financial life
- Seamless collaboration with your existing attorneys or accountants
No part of your financial plan exists in isolation—your advisory team ensures every piece works together harmoniously.
Long-term Continuity
Critical question: What happens to your accounts if something happens to your financial advisor?
This isn’t a comfortable topic, but it’s essential to your financial security. With a solo advisor, the answer may be uncertain. With a financial advisory team, continuity is built into the relationship from day one.
Madison Financial Strategies maintains comprehensive continuity agreements among our financial professionals. Should anything happen to your primary advisor:
- Another experienced team member immediately steps in
- Your financial plan continues without disruption
- All your account details and goals remain accessible
This structural safeguard provides additional confidence for you and your family.
