He Had Every Reason to Take the PE Check.
He Didn’t.
Andrew Rosen built a $3.3B RIA over 20 years — independently, intentionally, and without a single dollar of outside capital. He speaks about what that actually takes.
Culture Is the Strategy Behind Sustainable Growth
Andrew Rosen shares how advisory firms can scale through partnership, autonomy, and human-centered leadership—without private equity or outside control.
Andrew Rosen is the Executive Chairman of Diversified, LLC — a fee-only, independent RIA managing $3.3B for 2,000+ client families. He’s a CFP®, CEP®, regular Forbes and Kiplinger contributor, and author of Your Intentional Financial Life (May 2026).
He doesn’t speak from a whiteboard. He speaks from 20 years of real decisions — deals walked away from, partners chosen carefully, and a firm built to outlast its founder.

All of Andrew’s keynotes, fireside chats, and interviews are grounded in one core belief: culture is the strategy behind sustainable growth.
