No client poaching

Meet the founder
I built Aligned Path to give fee-only advisors a calmer way to implement insurance recommendations.
Before Aligned Path, I kept seeing the same problem: fee-only advisors identify insurance needs in planning, but lack a partner who can implement without turning the referral into a sales event.
So I built an independent practice designed specifically for fee-only advisors and the clients they refer.
I shop 50+ carriers and explain trade-offs in plain language. I will not recommend a product that does not fit the plan. The advisor stays central.
Why Aligned Path exists
Insurance referrals should support the plan, not complicate the relationship.
The problem with a typical referral is not intent — it is structure. A client introduced for one need lands in a separate sales environment, with little visibility for the advisor.
Aligned Path makes that handoff feel like an extension of the planning relationship — clear guidance for the client, and as much advisor involvement as the practice wants.
Operating principles
The standards that shape every advisor referral.
These principles are practical, not decorative. They guide how recommendations are framed, how clients are contacted, and how advisors stay connected to the work.
02
No pressure-first sales posture
Recommendations are presented in plain language, with room for clients and advisors to decide whether coverage fits the situation.
03
Planning-aligned implementation
Coverage is reviewed against the actual need behind the referral, not a generic calculator or a product-first script.
04
Clear communication
Advisor updates are built into the process when appropriate, especially around quoting, underwriting, delivery, and future service needs.
05
Independent market access
Aligned Path shops across carriers for fit, underwriting, policy structure, and pricing the client may actually qualify for.
