The challenge

Leonard Financial had tried the agency route more than once. Each time, the story was the same: strong pitch, weak delivery, and a bill that kept arriving regardless of results. By the time Jonathan decided to make a change, his firm was spending more per appointment than ever and closing less.

  • Agency CPAs consistently above $500, far above industry benchmarks
  • Rising costs with declining conversion rates year over year
  • No ownership of campaign data, audiences, or creative assets
  • Years of spend that built agency infrastructure, not Leonard's

The solution

AdvisorsHub dismantled the agency dependency entirely and built a multi-channel acquisition system inside Leonard Financial. Every ad, audience, and pixel was owned by the firm from day one. The targeting was precision-built for retirement-planning prospects, and the system was designed to continuously test and improve without outside input.

  • Full Meta + Google campaign build directly inside Leonard Financial
  • Compliant direct-response creative tested against proven frameworks
  • Precision HNW targeting for retirement prospects with $500K+ investable assets
  • Self-improving system with no ongoing agency requirement

Conclusion

What Leonard Financial built is not a campaign, it is a machine. One that now runs inside the firm, produces qualified HNW appointments on demand, and gets more efficient the longer it operates. Jonathan went from spending more for less, to owning infrastructure that compounds.
