What I Do Get in Touch
Brian Carter, Financial Services Technology Consultant

I work with broker-dealers, RIAs, and the FinTech companies that serve them — helping firms navigate technology decisions that are too consequential to get wrong and too complex to hand off to a generalist.

01

BD/RIA Domain Depth

Twenty years working inside broker-dealer and RIA technology — from building core systems at Jackson National's BD/RIA network to leading the full technology stack at a multi-BD/RIA firm. I know this environment from the inside.

02

Senior-Level Thinking

I've owned the decisions, managed the vendors, led the teams, and lived with the results. When I advise a firm, I'm drawing on that operational experience — not just frameworks.

03

A Partner, Not a Vendor

My goal in every engagement is to leave the people I work with better equipped than when I arrived. That means asking hard questions, sharing honest opinions, and staying focused on what actually moves the needle.
