Alex Lewis is the owner of Blackbridge Financial, a hybrid advisory firm based out of South Carolina that oversees approximately $330 million in assets under management for 415 households. At just 29 years old, Alex boldly acquired his firm through a multi-million-dollar loan, stepping in as the successor to the founder. Over the past four years, he has transformed the business by overhauling the staff, technology, and service structure—nearly doubling the firm’s AUM in the process.
Listen in as Alex shares how he gained trust and smoothly transitioned into ownership by increasing his client-facing roles and negotiating a seller-financed purchase, setting the stage for financial challenges that included managing a hefty initial loan payment. You'll learn how his firm categorizes clients into five service tiers, tailors experiences with personal touches like preferred beverages, and expands the team to uphold a high-touch service model, ensuring each advisor manages no more than 150 clients. We also discuss Alex’s career shift from public accounting to financial planning, his strategic fee adjustments that reinforced client trust, and his use of influential business strategies from books to continuously refine and grow the firm he envisioned.
