Rick Bailey, JD, MAcc, CFP®

From the very beginning of my career, I realized that it wasn't just one product, one service, or even one professional that brings true, lasting, multi-generational financial success.

The problem?

Most organizations simply don't teach all the concepts and strategies necessary to orchestrate a lasting legacy for high income earning professionals, high net worth individuals and business owners.

With that in mind, I made it my goal to gain as much knowledge and real world experience as possible. A quick overview of my background include the following... 

✔ Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) 
✔ Master’s Degree in Accountancy/Taxation
✔ Juris Doctorate
✔ Estate Planning Attorney (my personal firm)
✔ Financial Planner
✔ Regional Marketing Director & Advanced Planner for a Major Life Insurance Company

With decades of experience in legal, tax, and financial services, I have had the pleasure of helping thousands of individuals whose net wort ranged from the low 5-figures, to the 10-figures, and everywhere in between; and now my passion and expertise lies in partnering with CPAs, attorneys, financial advisors, and insurance professionals to orchestrate the financial success of their clients. 

My primary goal is to help you become comfortable and fluent serving the advanced markets, and be your partner along the way. 

In fact, the average case size processed by our Legacy Advisors is $42,000+ in commission*.

To learn more, simply join the waitlist and we will keep you informed with the latest launch updates, exclusive training opportunities, and much more. 

Don't Take My word for it...

Jim Maher, CLTC

"I’ve known Rick Bailey for several years and started introducing him to several clients for planning purposes. Rick is able to take a very complicated Insurance matter and make it so simple for clients to understand. 

He comes across as a very caring individual with incredible knowledge regarding Business and Estate Planning. I have made some of the Largest Life Insurance Sales with Rick. All of the clients I have introduced him to absolutely love him! He takes his time and explains everything and never makes anyone feel uneasy. Rick comes across as an educator and consultant yet clients want to work with him and I!"

Paul Mason, Esq.

"Rick Bailey is one the most knowledgeable advisors/consults in the industry. It is rare to have such skills in one individual. His ability to educate and teach along with real experience is second to none. He has been able to help consult on large complicated estate plans down to simple questions that often get over looked. I would highly recommend any person or professional connect with Rick to add his knowledge to their tool belt or personal situation. "

To Help You Become a 7-Figure Producer

Josh Sterling, CLU, CCFS

"Much of the success that I have had in my career can directly be attributed to the training that has taken place with Rick. 

Before meeting Rick, I was doing ok as an insurance producer, but it wasn't until Rick took me under his wing that I was able to truly grasp concepts in the Advanced Planning Markets, and feel completely comfortable identifying, presenting and closing cases in the 6 and 7 figure range.

If you're looking to level up your practice, I highly recommend working with Rick!"

Bob Crosetto

"Because of Rick's training and resources, I have been able to become less of a salesman and more of a connector! It's amazing to take somebody from feeling like they 'need' life insurance to actually WANT life insurance!

I wish I had met Rick earlier in my career, as there has been a noticeable and dramatic shift in my production ever since I met him. In fact, my largest cases EVER have come directly as a result of Rick's expertise and guidance."

Tom Webb, CLU, ChFC
