“The flexibility of the independent business model will serve my clients and my business very well, and choosing independence at a firm with Commonwealth’s reputation among my peers was important to me,” says Conradt. “Not only am I able to offer unlimited solutions to the clients I want to work with, I also have more control over my schedule and how I run my practice. I’m looking forward to a better work-life balance.”

Conradt, who specializes in building custom models for her clients, can count on Commonwealth’s well-researched and vetted technology choices, as well as access to a suite of software solutions. “Having a wide range of financial planning software options that are both comprehensive and easy to use is important to how I work with my clients.
