Accounting Today’s “The Top 150 Firms by AUM” 2020 ranking was assembled using data from Audit Analytics. Submissions were received from over 150 firms. In most cases, firm names are those of the financial planning/advisory subsidiary, not the CPA firm. Firms were ranked by their total assets under management (“AUM”). The AUM figures were for a variety of dates, but none earlier than year-end 2019. CliftonLarsonAllen Wealth Advisors did not pay a fee to participate in this ranking.

Financial Times “Top 300 RIA Firms” 2020 ranking was assembled using data from Ignites Distribution Research, its affiliate. Of the more than 2000 Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) firms that met a minimum set of eligibility criteria for the list, 760 RIA firms applied for consideration and 300 made the final list. Applicants were graded on six factors: assets under management (AUM); AUM growth rate; years in existence; advanced industry credentials of the firm’s advisers; online accessibility; and compliance records. There are no fees or other considerations required of RIAs that apply for the FT 300.

These publications and their research firms independently set their ranking criteria and CLA Wealth Advisors has no influence on the criteria. Rankings and/or recognition by unaffiliated rating services and/or publications are not indicative of a firm’s future performance nor do they evaluate the quality of services provided to clients or guarantee that he/she will experience a certain level of results if CLA Wealth Advisors is engaged, or continues to be engaged, to provide investment advisory services, nor should they be construed as a current or past endorsement of CLA Wealth Advisors by any of its clients.
