Driving the Evolution to Wealth Management 3.0
The recognition comes as Flourish continues to lead the industry's transformation from transactional services to comprehensive advisory platforms. The company has grown 6x over the past three years, now managing over $8 billion in assets under custody. With Flourish's recent acquisition of Sora Finance, the company has evolved into the first comprehensive assets-and-liabilities platform designed specifically for RIAs.

“These awards reflect our team's relentless focus on empowering RIAs to implement the holistic financial plans they create for their clients. Flourish continues to deliver an outstanding experience for our advisors and their clients, with features and functionality that drive growth,” said Max Lane, Flourish CEO. “We're witnessing a fundamental shift to a new era in wealth management, where advisors move beyond the traditional stocks-and-bonds portfolio to offering comprehensive financial services that address clients’ complete financial lives. These awards and our 6x growth over three years demonstrates that RIAs are ready for platforms that help them compete with wirehouses while maintaining their independence."
