Equita Financial Network provides a powerful community of support + a turnkey platform for women-led, independently operated, fee-only financial planning firms.
Equita is a SEC Registered Investment Advisor, that allows Member firms to conduct business as a DBA, thereby avoiding the need for Member firms to register either with the State or SEC.
Equita provides a turnkey platform that includes all the necessary resources to run a comprehensive financial planning firm, as well as investment management services.
Equita does not take an equity stake in any Member firm. Member firms maintain their own independent, autonomous brand. You own your client relationships – always.
The Equita platform is intentionally priced so that women business owners can keep more of what they make.


Equita provides a robust and structured community to support collaboration across Members, sharing of best practices, and client solutions + advocacy, education, and succession planning options.
In-person and virtual gatherings support the exchange of information and ideas between like-minded professionals who share freely and support one another.
Having an abundance mentality is an essential element of success when you become a part of the Equita community.
Equita also provides the opportunity to uncover potential partners for emergency continuity planning and/or succession planning purposes.
Member firms are CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professionals or will commit to earning the designation.
