Who We Are

3xEquity Jeff Crosby CEO

Jeff Crosby

Founder & CEO

As a highly successful wealth advisor (Barron’s® Top Financial Advisor 2010 – 2016) with more than 22 years industry experience, Jeff started 3xEquity to solve a problem he had encountered himself: transitioning was a difficult and time-consuming process. This led him to develop a faster, simpler easier and safer (confidential) way to get multiple offers from broker dealers and help advisors make better-informed decisions. 3xEquity has been featured in magazines such as Financial Advisor and Financial Planning which highlighted the advisory business valuation services and the transition coaching of top advisors nationally. Jeff is a 20-time Ironman triathlete and a 6-time Hawaiian World Championship Ironman qualifier.

Yes. Keeping your information anonymous (and the whole instant offer process confidential until you say so) is what makes this solution so revolutionary and quite frankly the only way we can wrestle back control of the conversation so advisors have more say.
Helping advisors maximize the value of their practice is at the heart of what we do. Our name speaks to the typical range of selling prices (normally 2-3x equity but our goal is always to get you the highest value and that is why we chose a name at the top end of the range).
TBD
Yes. The National Associations of Certified Valuators and Analysts (NACVA) globally recognized Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) designation is the most widely trusted business valuation credential and 3xEquity has been certified to perform to its high standards.
