Our focus as a team these past 2 years has been to take our client service level up another notch, by turning to our staff and asking them to take individual ownership of providing the highest level of service to our clients. Looking back over the past two years, I couldn’t be prouder of each team member’s efforts and willingness to go above and beyond for our clients. I believe the growth of our firm is due in large part to this commitment from our team.”

The 2020 ranking of the Forbes’ Best-in-State Wealth Advisors1 list was developed by SHOOK Research and is based on in-person and telephone due-diligence meetings to evaluate each advisor qualitatively and on a ranking algorithm that includes client retention, industry experience, review of compliance records, firm nominations, and quantitative criteria (including assets under management and revenue generated for their firms). Overall, 32,000 advisors were considered, and 4,000 (12.5 percent of candidates) were recognized. The full methodology2 that Forbes developed in partnership with SHOOK Research is available here.
