Integrated Partners Adds Creidim Wealth Partners, Nears $1B in Recruited Advisory Assets in 2021

• Todd Bessey and team join the Integrated universe of financial advisors and CPAs on the RIA side of the business; will custody with Fidelity

Integrated Partners, a national financial planning and registered investment advisory firm, announced today that Creidim Wealth Partners has joined the national advisory platform, adding its $150M firm to the Integrated universe of financial advisors and CPAs as the organization continues to record its best recruiting year ever.

Creidim is a word of Irish origin, meaning: “I believe” and captures the ethos of Todd Bessey as it pertains to serving the firm’s clients with passion and conviction. With strong roots in financial planning, Creidim focuses on serving independent women, retirees, and their families and works in close coordination with CPAs. The firm’s core focus aligned perfectly with Integrated’s expertise in helping advisors grow their businesses.

“When advisors align perfectly with Integrated’s core values, it is a beautiful thing,” said Rob Sandrew, Chief Growth Officer, Integrated Partners. “Therefore, when we meet an advisor like Todd, who literally ingrains his belief and commitment to clients into the name of his business, it is hard not to get giddy to the point of distraction. Because that is exactly how we serve our advisors. We believe, too.”

Integrated’s CPA Program, its flagship growth offering for advisors, was the key differentiator among firms vying to serve the growth needs of Creidim. Integrated’s advisors have found that the importance of partnering effectively with CPAs has never been more important, and they do so via a time-tested program with a proven track record. Bessey and team left the wealth management division of a Chicago regional bank and will join Integrated as a hybrid-RIA custodied with Fidelity.

“Advisory firms of our size looking to stay independent but who are at the same time open to a partnership with a larger organization have lots of options but few that align perfectly with our ‘have your cake and eat it too’ world-view,” said Todd Bessey, Founder, Creidim Wealth Partners. “We want a partner to help us grow, as we build our business and serve our clients our way. It’s tough to find a like-minded firm that not only gets that but implements the approach with hundreds of advisors and CPAs. We found that firm and we look forward to sharing our journey with them.”
