About Thoroughbred Advisors

Thoroughbred Advisors is an independent financial services firm with offices in:

• Latham

• White Plains

• Queensbury

• New York City

• Staten Island

We help families and individuals with:

Why This Opportunity Matters

The Opportunity Is Real

The financial services industry needs more good people.

Millions of Americans are approaching retirement without a real financial plan or a trusted professional to guide them. At the same time, the advisor workforce is not growing fast enough to meet demand.

This isn't a crowded industry you're trying to break into.

It's an open one.
