Leading Wealth Management Firm Announces Company Expansion
New York, New York (PRWEB) September 17, 2013 -- Manhattan based financial planning firm, KBK Wealth Management, was recently recognized as one of the five largest branch offices of Commonwealth Financial Network, based on production. As the largest privately held Independent Broker/Dealer in the nation, Commonwealth Financial Network oversees over 1,400 producing advisors with the average AUM per advisor being $54.6 million.
In order to meet the growing demand for personalized service, KBK Wealth Management has begun an aggressive campaign to attract and hire successful financial advisors.
“We are very proud to be recognized as one the largest firms under Commonwealth Financial Network. Through our affiliation with Commonwealth, we are able to offer advisors the highest average payout in the industry*, as well as the marketing, technology and practice management support they need to grow their business,” stated Michael Kessler, partner of KBK Wealth Management.
Twenty five years ago, the partners at KBK Wealth left the wire-house world and set out to offer an unbiased approach to financial planning. “The industry has been changing for a number of years now. Many advisors started transitioning to the independent model to be able to provide their clients with a holistic approach to financial planning,” stated Kessler.
In 2006, the firm joined Commonwealth and has since seen consistent yearly growth – even during the down markets.
“KBK’s strong growth underscores our shared dedication to putting our clients first,” said Joni Youngwirth, managing partner, practice management, at Commonwealth. “Its entire team has embraced a client-forward™ philosophy and we’re excited to see KBK continue to thrive.”
