“The flexibility of the independent business model will serve my clients and my business very well, and choosing independence at a firm with Commonwealth’s reputation among my peers was important to me,” says Conradt. “Not only am I able to offer unlimited solutions to the clients I want to work with, I also have more control over my schedule and how I run my practice. I’m looking forward to a better work-life balance.”
Conradt, who specializes in building custom models for her clients, can count on Commonwealth’s well-researched and vetted technology choices, as well as access to a suite of software solutions. “Having a wide range of financial planning software options that are both comprehensive and easy to use is important to how I work with my clients. I’m thrilled to finally be able to customize my technology stack.” says Conradt. To grow her practice, Conradt will leverage Commonwealth’s partnership-driven Compliance team to launch contemporary marketing tactics like newsletters and podcasts.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Klaudia to our community of independent financial advisors and to an established independence success story at Conestoga Wealth Partners,” said Andrew Daniels, Commonwealth’s managing principal, business development. “Breaking away from a household name to build your business your way is a bold move—one that we honor with our commitment to do whatever it takes to help them seamlessly launch their new venture.”
Daniels added, “Commonwealth’s open technology architecture and common-sense approach to compliance will support Klaudia as she pursues new and innovative ways to serve her clients and market her business.”
