Independent broker-dealer · Louisville, Kentucky
Let our independence ignite yours.
A full service broker-dealer built for advisors who want to own their practice without carrying the firm alone. You keep the relationships. We carry the infrastructure.
Why advisors move
Four reasons advisors bring their practice to PCS.
Independence should not mean going it alone. We handle the compliance, operations, and technology so you can spend your time where it belongs: with your clients.
A firm that holds
A privately held, full service broker-dealer, member FINRA and SIPC, with advisors licensed across all 50 states. No quarterly agenda but yours.
Built by advisors
We built the firm we wished we had. The people supporting you have run practices, not just policies, and they answer the phone.
Share in the upside
Transparent economics and a payout structure designed to reward the advisors who grow the firm, not to subsidize a distant parent company.
The idea we started with
We built the firm we wished we'd had as advisors: independent, steady, and generous with the people who grow it.
The founding principle of Private Client Services.
Our business model
The support of a large firm, the feel of a handshake.
Private Client Services sits between the two extremes advisors usually have to choose from. You get the scale, oversight, and technology of a national broker-dealer, delivered by a team small enough to know your name and your practice.
- 01
Compliance that clears the path
A supervision and compliance team that protects your practice and keeps you moving.
- 02
Technology that works
Clearing and reporting on established platforms built for real advisory work.
- 03
Transition support
A dedicated team that plans the move, handles the paperwork, and keeps your clients informed.
In their words
"I kept every client relationship and finally stopped answering to a firm that wasn't answering to me."
