From the start, our vision at Focus Financial Partners has been clear: we want to be the partnership of choice for entrepreneurial, growth-oriented, fiduciary wealth management firms.

Great visions have humble beginnings. Founded in 2004, by the end of 2006 Focus had six partner firms in five states. Fast forward six years to 2012 and Focus had expanded to 22 partner firms in over 30 locations, plus a partner firm in the U.K.

We began leveraging our M&A expertise and capital to help partner firms identify attractive prospects of their own for expansion, and continued to expand our suite of value-added services to include technology, talent acquisition, business development and marketing, operations and regulatory advice.

Fast forward to today, Focus has grown to more than 90 partner firms in more than 38 states, plus Australia, Canada, Switzerland and the U.K. As a partner firm principal said: “The future is bright, and it’s even brighter because Focus is by our side.”
