What We Do

The Rummage Group is a very unique, nationally recognized Career Consulting firm specializing in the Financial Industry. We are the “Industry Experts” that connect Financial Advisors with the hundreds of firms willing to hire them.  We are one of the only firms started and run by a 20 year veteran of the Financial Industry. We are the “Sports Agents” for Financial Advisors.

Everything we do is always 100% Confidential.

When a Financial Advisor decides to change firms or even just look around, their first call should be to The Rummage Group.  Most are unaware there are over 1,000 firms that employ Financial Advisors and the average advisor is only familiar with a handful. We save Advisors the heartache of having to go it alone and rely on biased information.  Since we do business with most firms, we can provide unbiased assistance during this important transition. The Rummage Group is truly a one stop shop that can help keep Advisors from making a major career mistake by ending up at a firm that does not match their goals.

The Average Advisor:

  • Only investigates a couple of firms when making a move
  • Has limited information from biased sources (Friends or Hiring Managers)
  • Overlooks very good options because they’re unaware they exist
  • Doesn’t have accurate information on available transition packages
  • Doesn’t fully understand all the pros and cons of each firm
