Even as assets under management and revenue climb, many RIAs are watching their margins get squeezed. In this episode, we unpack the RIA Paradox — exploding staff compensation, technology bloat, and rising compliance costs that are quietly eating into profitability. We explore why client service roles skyrocketed post-COVID, how to shift toward incentive-based pay, practical ways to clean up your tech stack, and how to build a proactive compliance system instead of treating it as a burden. Essential listening for RIA owners and leaders looking to protect and improve profitability in a maturing industry.
