Springline Advisory Announces Strategic Partnership
On January 13, 2026, Springline Advisory, a pioneering name in financial and business advisory services, declared a significant alliance with Christy Paddock Advisors, LLC, based in Indianapolis. This partnership aims to bring about greater resource access and extend industry capabilities while retaining a personal touch that smaller firms pride themselves on.
Strengthening Client Advisory Services
The collaboration is designed to empower Christy Paddock Advisors, known for their fractional CFO and financial advisory services. This allows the firm to tap into an expanded suite of advantages synonymous with larger organizations, such as enhanced reach and expertise. Yet, it remains committed to the close personal relationships that are characteristic of boutique providers.
Christy Paddock, the Managing Partner, emphasized that their focus has always been on nurturing a culture centered around employees, providing dynamic advisory services with a personal touch. She noted, "By partnering with Springline Advisory, we align with our core values and our long-term vision, allowing for continued growth while maintaining the culture and relationships we have established with our clients."
A Vision for Sustainable Growth
The partnership signifies a concerted effort toward sustainable growth and firm-building prioritizing people. It highlights the commitment of both firms to talent development and helps Christy Paddock Advisors to scale effectively, serving a broader array of businesses in collaboration with other Springline Advisory partners, all while adhering to their Scale with Soul™ philosophy.
Tim Brackney, the CEO of Springline Advisory, articulated his excitement regarding the partnership, stating, "Christy Paddock Advisors has earned a stellar reputation for being a genuine partner to growth-stage companies rather than just an external advisor. Their leadership and culture closely mirror our own aspirations to support firms aiming for purposeful growth. We are thrilled to have them join Springline as they naturally extend our Client Accounting Services division and enhance the support we offer to clients navigating business transitions."
Expertise in Financial Management
Christy Paddock Advisors has carved a niche in providing fractional CFO services and financial advisory, focusing on guiding business owners through critical decisions, enhancing profitability, and facilitating sustained growth without the burden of hiring full-time senior executives. Their operational model has been instrumental for organizations on the fast track to expansion, as they offer customized solutions tailored to specific growth needs.
The announcement of this strategic partnership comes on the heels of another significant move by Springline Advisory, which recently engaged in a strategic transaction with Actuarial Resources Corporation, further cementing its commitment to improving service delivery and fulfilling its mission to revolutionize advisory services.
