CHARLOTTE, N.C. – December 13, 2021 – Independent Advisor Alliance (IAA), an office of supervisory jurisdiction on LPL Financial LLC’s hybrid registered investment advisor platform, announced today that Way & Way has joined its network of independent advisors.
Comprised of Dennis and Reese Way, this father-son team was previously with Stephens Inc. Together, they bring a combined 40 plus years of comprehensive wealth management services to clients in Columbia, SC, and the surrounding regions.
The desire to establish their own firm and the freedom to provide financial guidance that best aligns with their clients’ goals and interests motivated Dennis and Reese to make the move to independence. Dennis stated, “our friends and clients trust us to give them confidence and comfort when it comes to their personal financial affairs. What we want, what is most important to us, is our client’s financial well-being. Partnering with IAA provides us with the tools and expertise to do just that.”
“IAA is perfect for advisors looking to balance continuity for their clients while taking ownership of their business,” added Robert Russo, CEO and Founder of IAA. “We specialize in acquisition and succession planning needs for financial advisors and offer a comprehensive suite of support services. This, combined with Way & Way’s dedication to top-tier client service, makes them a good fit with IAA’s offering and culture.
