Many banking and brokerage institutions have policies that restrict advisors from informing clients about their departure in advance due to employment agreements and, more specifically, an industry agreement known as a Broker Protocol.

The Broker Protocol is an agreement established in the financial industry that outlines the protocol for advisors to follow when transitioning from one firm to another, particularly regarding client communication and confidentiality.

While we regret not being able to forewarn you of our transition, as an independent financial advisory firm, Dvorak Financial Planning prioritizes your interests above all else and acts as a fiduciary in working with you. We are now empowered to proactively communicate any significant changes in our relationship with you and promise to do so going forward, given we are no longer beholden to corporate restraints. Transparency is fundamental to our firm’s culture, and we’d be happy to answer any questions at your convenience.

Dvorak Financial Planning was established when Jonathan Dvorak decided to become an independent financial advisor to prioritize clients’ best interests. His goal in starting Dvorak Financial Planning was to enhance the value he delivers to clients by seamlessly coordinating all pieces of your financial plan and wealth management strategy to provide better outcomes for you, your family, and your legacy. Jonathan firmly believes that launching his own firm is the best way to help clients achieve their goals while also building deep and long-standing relationships that go beyond financial matters. He is excited to show clients the benefits and advantages available to them with Dvorak Financial Planning. Jonathan looks forward to serving you and embarking on this journey together.
