The Kruchko Group

Boutique Independence, Silicon Valley Roots

After managing over $1.6B in assets at Schwab, Kevin Kruchko launched The Kruchko Group to deliver unfiltered, client-first advice, without the noise of corporate agendas. Today, his firm offers a rare opportunity: transition your book to a deeply experienced advisor who still serves clients one-on-one.

Discover how The Kruchko Group helps advisors protect their legacy and clients during the next chapter of their journey.

About The Kruchko Group

The Kruchko Group is an independent wealth advisory practice based in Campbell, California, right in the heart of Silicon Valley. Founded in 2022 by Kevin Kruchko, the firm exists to give clients truly personal financial guidance across all areas of life: investing, estate, tax, retirement, and more.

Backed by the scale of LPL Financial but driven by boutique values, The Kruchko Group offers a “white-glove” experience to every client. Their mission: give people the kind of attentive, conflict-free advice that’s increasingly rare in wealth management.

Who They're a Fit For

The Kruchko Group is built for advisors who’ve always put clients first and want to ensure that continues. If you’re a retiring wirehouse advisor, a solo RIA, or a small team with deep client relationships, Kevin offers a natural next chapter.

They’re most aligned with firms managing $20M–$100M in AUM, especially those serving tech professionals, retirees, and affluent families. Based in the Bay Area, Kevin is also open to conversations with advisors outside California if the values align.

What a Transition with The Kruchko Group Feels Like

Kevin understands how personal a transition is because he’s made one himself. That’s why every move into The Kruchko Group is designed to feel smooth, personal, and respectful.

Here’s what to expect:

Clients stay with a familiar face, not passed off to a junior
Paperwork and compliance are handled by LPL’s experienced team
You stay involved as long as you’d like or step back completely
Kevin works one-on-one with you to maintain trust and continuity

It’s not a buyout. It’s a stewardship.

What Clients Say After a Transition

Clients follow Kevin because they trust him, and stay because they feel genuinely cared for.

Here’s what they’ve said after making the move:
