This prestigious accolade celebrates outstanding financial advisors who have consistently demonstrated excellence in their profession while delivering exceptional service to their valued clients.

“Here’s what our research has found: the very best advisors are laser focused on making a difference in their clients’ lives; they want to add meaning and help them live better lives,” writes R.J. Shook, President and Founder of SHOOK Research. “When we meet with an advisor in person or on the telephone, we are thinking to ourselves: Is this someone that can offer impact? And would we recommend this advisor to a friend or family member?”

After extensive research and vetting conducted by SHOOK Research, Forbes distinguished John Vance as a Best-in-State advisor out of a pool of 44,990 total nominations, each subjected to high thresholds and rigorous qualifications. Together, the selected 8,507 seasoned advisors manage over $13.5 trillion in client assets. 

The selection process, as outlined by SHOOK, incorporates both qualitative assessments from personal, virtual, and face-to-face interviews, as well as quantitative metrics like revenue trends and assets under management. Additional considerations include service models, compliance records, and industry tenure, with a focus on those exemplifying best practices in client engagement.

“This esteemed recognition not only shines a light on John’s unwavering dedication and expertise but also underscores the trust and confidence our clients place in us every day,” shared Vance Wealth Vice President Jerrod Ferguson. “At Vance Wealth, our mission remains resolute: to guide our families and businesses toward financial prosperity at every turn.
