Growth Isn't a One-Size-Fits-All Plan, It's a System for Personal Development

Truly sustainable growth means more than just what ends up on an income statement each quarter. It requires ongoing assessment of your enterprise and the development of dimensional skills that empower you to impact and influence yourself, your stakeholders, your business, and your community.

Grow a strong, purpose-rich enterprise with proven systems and a guided approach to leadership.

| Who We Serve

We're Not Right for Everyone, but Perfect for Growth-Minded Advisors

The Strategic Enterprise Program™ is a personal journey that is unique to each individual. The level of effort and heart invested in this journey determines its value and outcome. It's not for everyone or a trial system — it is a journey with no destination other than your dream. This journey takes dedication, consistency, order, accountability, and commitment.

If you are willing to explore and take hold of your dream, this program will be a remarkably motivating and liberating experience for you.

Discover authentic and personal leadership that will lead you to better attract, develop, and serve relationships.

The Strategic Enterprise Program allows me to focus my efforts and attention to the little objectives that will ultimately help me to achieve something truly special, for both my business and my clients.
Bill Kessler Member Partner since 2002

I have a hard time referring to Founders Financial as a "Broker Dealer." They are so much more than that. They are your partners, they are your family, and it's completely different than the type of business relationship that I was used to.
Charlie Roberts Member Partner since 2014

You know, every time I think of the people that I know from Founders, it just makes me smile.

Luis Padilla Member Partner since 2009

The technology part of the practice is one of the most important elements to providing a high level of service. One of the most innovative parts of EMS is that I am an integral part of the development of the offering, as are the other Member Partners of Founders. Without a doubt, Founders is - in a way - in the business of technology.
