In Episode 5 of our podcast “Advisor Edge: The GVA Way” James J. Spinelli, ChFC®, AIF®

You’ll hear about Eric’s extensive experience in the financial industry space. Did you know he used to run his own RIA?! On that Eric says, “One of the things that I came to realize running my own RIA is that the world had become so much more complex in terms of running a business in the investment space than it had been 20 years ago when I first started…and that’s how I came to know GVA.”

Learn more about why we are so lucky to have Eric on our team, and how he is uniquely positioned for his current role. Through his experience he has come to inherently recognize that each advisor, and each advisor business, is unique, not only in how they built and run their business, but also in how they move forward. Eric and his team pride themselves on offering tailored solutions for all GVA advisors.

Eric will join us again next month for Episode 6 of “Advisor Edge: The GVA Way” to deep dive into models and the behind-the-scenes thought process that goes into it.
