[More:​ Calif.-based RIA acquires firm managing $250 million] The move will make Beese Fulmer one of the largest money managers in Northeast Ohio based on assets under management, the firm said in a release. Both firms use Schwab as their principal custodian, said Ryan Fulmer, CEO. "We explored multiple transition possibilities," said Harry MacNealy, CEO of MacNealy Hoover. "Sometimes, it just takes a while to recognize the solution is right under your nose. In our case, just four blocks south."
