Kestra Financial Enhances Client Service Capabilities by Onboarding $300 Million Element Wealth Advisors


Kestra Financial, an industry-leading wealth management platform, today announced the onboarding of Element Wealth Advisors, a wealth management firm committed to client satisfaction.

Since its inception in Atlanta, Georgia, Element Wealth Advisors has prioritized serving clients and helping them achieve their business, financial, and life goals. The firm's dedicated team works tirelessly to positively impact clients' lives, emphasizing excellence in execution and the belief that success naturally follows.

By joining Kestra Financial, Element Wealth Advisors aims to enhance its capabilities to provide even greater value to clients. The team cites Kestra Financial's reputation for excellence as a reason for joining, noting it pairs well with their commitment to providing premier service in financial planning and wealth management.

Partners Todd Mitman and Jeremy Reese orchestrated a shift in investment adviser and broker-dealer affiliations to enhance the firm's autonomy and substantially expand the array of investment options available to clients. Also joining them in the transition to Kestra Financial is Ann Dickerson, lead servicing advisor.

"It was a natural decision to join Kestra Financial," said Jeremy Reese, Managing Partner at Element Wealth Advisors. "As a firm rooted in an ongoing commitment to delivering outstanding results and maintaining superior quality, Kestra Financials' capabilities enable us to elevate our service offering and enhance our ability to provide personalized guidance tailored to our client's unique goals and needs."

Overseeing a seamless transition was Susan Trass, the Director of Operations for Element, who collaborated with Client Service Associates Sherry McFarland, Josh Siano, and Lois Wiggins as they guided clients through the new experience.

Since then, the practice has welcomed Neil Bonser, CPA, and Charlie Hasel, Financial Planning Assistant, as valuable additions to the team.

"We believe welcoming Element to the Kestra Financial ecosystem will serve as a pivotal moment for growth that builds upon our current track record of success," said Daniel Schwamb, Executive Vice President of Business Development at Kestra Financial. "With a commitment to client success and satisfaction, Element shares our core values, helping us to further build a network of like-minded advisors."
