In 2010, my firm was expanding fast. As Director of Operations, I had a problem: For every challenge I could solve from experience, there were three new ones I couldn't. I needed help.I searched all over the industry for answers. The main thing I learned was that I wasn’t the only RIA operations leader who felt isolated, untrained, and unsure.That's why I created HIFON (High Impact Financial Operations Network). HIFON is a private, independent (and vendor-free) study group for RIA Operations Professionals.Since 2010, we've quietly built the premier community of RIA Operations Professionals. “Joining HIFON was the pivoting point in my career here at CapSouth and has not only changed my trajectory, but also that of our entire organization due to all that I’ve gained and shared with our leadership." "This is the first and only group of its kind in the RIA industry." "HIFON is an invaluable forum to share ideas, seek advice and get recommendations for all operational aspects of running and growing an RIA firm -- from people who fully understand the context of what we are trying to accomplish." "Being a member of HIFON has proven to be an invaluable resource for both myself and my firm."When you join HIFON, you join a community of world-class peers who truly understand the challenges you face and respect the work you do. Our members collaborate so you can do your job better, with less effort, and advance your firm.Here's what industry leaders have to say about HIFON: "Our clients who belong to HIFON leapfrog other firms when it comes to operational efficiency. We are constantly encouraging Operations Managers and COOs to join." Jo Day Co-Founder, Trumpet “Membership in HIFON is your best chance to stay on top of all the best practices, software innovations and practical money/labor-saving advances in that all-important operations side of your business.” Bob Veres Editor/Publisher, Inside Information "If you’re in an operations role at an RIA and not in HIFON, you’re missing out.”HIFON membership gives you access to best practices, independent advice, and peer-to-peer support you cannot find anywhere else.Learn More: https://hifon.org
