About Ascendrium
The Story Behind Ascendrium Partners
The last thing the world needs is another AFMO.
That is exactly why we built one.
For too long, AFMOs have defined themselves by contracts, products, and carrier access. But advisors don’t build their legacies with contracts. They build them through transformations, personal brands, and movements that outlast them.
Ascendrium was born out of that frustration—and out of a vision to be part of something bigger: a movement of Making Life Less Taxing and building a life that creates the Untaxable Lifestyle—not only for the advisor, but also for their clients.

For more than three decades, Daniel worked in the trenches of financial advising, marketing, and client acquisition. As a recovering CFP®, he saw firsthand how broken the support structure was for advisors.
Most were chasing leads and sales instead of building authority.
Many were trapped on the constant hamster wheel of feast or famine.
Too often, advisors were reduced to product pushers when what they truly wanted was to live out their mission, build their personal brands, and lead their clients with purpose.

The Genesis of Ascendrium
In 2019, the genesis of Ascendrium Partners began. Frameworks like the 7 Figure Advisor Breakthrough™, the $100K Day Method™, and the Acres of Diamonds strategy were first mapped out. They began as theories, but today they are tested, refined, and proven in the field.
This is the process and work that Daniel and Jeff Thompson have been building together since 2019. Jeff is a consultant and expert trusted by Top of the Table® producers. From the very beginning, he brought deep expertise in sales psychology, high-ticket conversations, and building scalable systems for advisors.
Together, Daniel the founder who lived the advisor struggle and Jeff the strategist who could transform frameworks into duplicatable, coachable systems fused vision and execution into what is now known as the Ascendrium Path.
