CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC announced today that financial advisor Jonathan Kesselman CFP^®, has joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA and custodial platforms. He reported having served approximately $220 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets*, and joins LPL from UBS.

With the move, the Westlake, Ohio-based advisor is pleased to launch his new independent practice, Kesselman Wealth Management. He is joined by his wife, Rosie, who is the firm’s director of business development and marketing.

Kesselman is approaching his 10^th anniversary as a financial advisor, having started his career as an attorney in a private practice. He specializes in helping clients with their transition to retirement. “I take a very proactive approach to financial planning and make it a priority to truly get to know each client’s financial goals and concerns,” he said. “I go really deep into the planning process, focusing extensively on the transition to retirement, which includes financial planning, cash flow planning, liquidity and the mitigation of risks.”
