“Recruiters in general are like a rabid pack of hyenas trying to get you to make the jump, trying to get you to other big firms that’s going to pay them probably a bunch of money.”

Founded by Wall Street legend Norman H. Gershman — Merrill Lynch advisor for 25 years
A Legacy of Advisor Advocacy
As a former top advisor at Merrill Lynch for 25 years, Norman H. Gershman built a reputation as one of Wall Street’s most respected advisor recruiters and transition consultants. For the last 50 years, his legacy remains helping elite financial advisors navigate career-defining decisions with one guiding principle: put the advisor first.
Today, Roger Gershman carries that legacy forward with a unique perspective shaped by his own 25 years of experience as a top advisor managing a nearly $1 billion advisory practice at Hambrecht & Quist, UBS, and Credit Suisse.
Together, they bring both sides of the equation: Norman’s decades of industry insight and Roger’s modern day experience building and growing a successful wealth management business.
