Walk into the high-stakes world of financial advisor transitions, and one name consistently rises above the noise—Frank LaRosa. As founder and chief executive officer of Elite Consulting Partners, LaRosa has transformed what was once an obscure niche into a full-service advisory platform known for empowering professionals to pursue the right fit, not just the most obvious one. His career is defined not by convention, but by conviction.
Momentum at Elite Consulting Partners didn’t happen by chance. Under LaRosa’s leadership, the firm has grown exponentially in both headcount and capabilities. Over the past three years, he has led its evolution into a national powerhouse. What began as a transition consulting firm now offers merger and acquisition support, succession planning and full business consulting—all under one roof. This multidimensional strategy hasn’t just expanded services; it’s elevated the standard for the industry.
What drives this growth is LaRosa’s unshakable belief in the power of connection. He views the evolving workplace as a call to return to authenticity and human-first values. Rather than compete with technology, he leans into it, integrating tools like AI to strengthen communication and client alignment. But the heartbeat of his approach is simple: be real, build trust and show up with purpose.
For LaRosa, fueling passion isn’t a task—it’s a habit. He surrounds himself with high achievers, listens intently and stays curious. Whether through podcasting, keynote speaking or mentoring younger professionals, he shares his experiences freely, believing that insight multiplies when passed on.
His entrepreneurial journey began with a bold decision to build something better. As a former financial advisor, he recognized that many in the field lacked access to unbiased transition support. So he created it—one advisor at a time, one relationship at a time. That authentic foundation has remained unchanged even as the firm scaled nationally.
The future of Elite Consulting Partners is clear. LaRosa envisions an ecosystem that not only facilitates advisor transitions but also builds enduring brands. His focus for the next five years includes strategic partnerships and integrated solutions designed to support advisors through every stage of their professional life cycle.
What sets LaRosa apart—and makes him a Titan 100 Honoree—is his rare ability to marry high-touch relationship building with scalable process. He has helped thousands of advisors move to better platforms, and in doing so, has preserved and enhanced billions in client assets. His influence goes beyond transactions; it’s rooted in transformation.
Of all his accomplishments, LaRosa is most proud of the culture he’s cultivated. The firm has been recognized as a top workplace, not just for its perks but for its shared purpose. Every member of the team is invested in delivering outcomes that change careers and lives. That, more than any award or milestone, reflects the heart of LaRosa’s leadership—real people, real growth and a commitment to what’s right over what’s easy.
