Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Zeller Kern Business Advisors or one who fits your needs even better.

Zeller Kern Business Advisors focuses on business owners, offering business continuity planning, business valuation, exit planning, business value-building consulting, and a Legacy Planning program that includes family retreats and leadership experiences for sizable estates. The firm, in operation since 2007, maintains a small client roster managed by two advisors and structures engagements as project- and planning-based relationships. The firm’s model is advisory and implementation-focused rather than discretionary investment management: Zeller Kern does not provide portfolio management for individual clients and does not use a percentage-of-AUM fee structure, instead relying on engagement fees and referrals to outside specialists for transactions and execution. Its advisors are registered representatives and investment adviser representatives of Equitable Advisors, LLC and are licensed insurance agents; they may implement recommendations through Equitable and can receive commissions, a relationship the brochure discloses and addresses in its conflict-of-interest controls. Zeller Kern is notable for its formal affiliations with a broker-dealer (Equitable) and access to an affiliated SEC-registered adviser, with advisors spending a substantial portion of their time in those roles—an operating model that differs from many independent planning boutiques. The firm’s use of educational formats (family retreats, meetings, and workshops) tied to exit and legacy work and its explicit offering of insurance products and commission-based implementation are features that are uncommon among similarly supported firms.
