At its best, wealth planning is personal. It takes wisdom, experience and a real understanding of your life and goals. That kind of trusted guidance feels especially valuable in today’s uncertain financial environment — when markets are volatile, inflation pressures persist and financial decisions feel more complex. That’s why we’re honored to share that Aspiriant was recognized in the 2025 Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisors ranking — a recognition of outstanding financial professionals across the country.
The list, developed by Forbes in partnership with SHOOK Research, highlights top wealth advisors based on their experience, service and commitment to ethical standards.
Advisors are evaluated using both quantitative and qualitative factors, including years in the industry, relationships and involvement in the communities they serve. The selection is based solely on merit — not payments or promotions. If you’re curious, you can read more about how Forbes and SHOOK Research build the list here.
We believe this recognition reflects something meaningful — a team you can count on to help navigate your financial life with clarity and confidence.
Aspiriant is structured differently than most firms. We’re 100% employee-owned and fiercely independent. That means the advice you receive is always driven by your best interest — not outside shareholders or private equity investors.
This model helps us attract, retain and grow top-tier financial talent across the country. Our advisors are more than portfolio managers — they’re partners, problem-solvers and long-term guides.
And because we’re committed to sustainable succession and development, you benefit from a relationship that’s built to last — for you, your family and future generations.
As a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA), Aspiriant operates under a fiduciary standard — which means we’re legally and ethically obligated to act in your best interest. Not all advisors are held to this standard, but we wouldn’t do it any other way.
The Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisors list, developed with SHOOK Research, is based on more than numbers. The selection process considers a range of factors — including years of experience, assets under management, compliance history, service models and community involvement.
It’s a way to highlight advisors who consistently show up for the people they serve — with sound advice, strong values and a commitment to making a difference.
We’re proud that advisors from across our national offices were recognized in the 2025 Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisors ranking — a reflection of the strength and depth of our wealth management team, and our shared commitment to our clients across the country.
