RIA network platform for independent financial advisors
Carson Group operates a network model for independent registered investment advisors, built on Salesforce + AWS infrastructure with emerging infrastructure-as-code adoption (Terraform, CloudFormation, Azure DevOps). The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward finance and operations roles, with minimal engineering depth—suggesting the platform is mature and operationally complex rather than engineering-driven. Active projects cluster around partner enablement, compliance automation, and data quality, pointing to scaling challenges in onboarding and supporting a growing network of advisors.
