  • Employee Advisor
  • On-Premises Independent
  • Advisor Trainee or Associate

Model Overview

Through Nationwide’s affiliate Nationwide Planning Associates, we offer the benefits of working with a firm while having full ownership of your business. At any time an employee advisor has the opportunity to transition to an independent model. Advisors can build and customize their business according to their needs and requirements. We provide you with a fully-outfitted, turn-key office space. You can the further customize your platform by electing additional services, support and software from a pay-as-you-go, ala carte menu. Advisors have the opportunity to operate as an independent contractor, while Nationwide supports your technology, back-office, and infrastructure support. Attorneys and Accountants can earn fees by referring clients to our financial advisors who will partner with you to provide objective investment advice and counseling.
