We are thrilled to share that our Founder and CEO, John A Black, has been recognized on the Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisors list for the fifth consecutive year! According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, there are over 330,000 financial advisors in the United States—yet less than 3% were named to this exclusive list. Furthermore, only 99 advisors from the state of Kansas earned this recognition.
This honor reflects the dedication, expertise and hard work of our outstanding team members, who continuously strive to provide exceptional client service. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our clients—this achievement would not have been possible without your continued trust and support.
Here’s to achieving many more milestones together!
