LPL Financial has bagged a highly experienced team of advisors and support staff who managed approximately $900 million with Raymond James.
Financial advisors Shane J. Prill, CFP, Vance E. Garwood, CFP, and Grant Garwood, CFP, have joined the firm’s broker-dealer, RIA, and custodial platforms for the next phase of their collaboration which has seen them working together for more than a decade.

The firm will rebrand to Prill Garwood Financial Advisors from S.J. Prill Financial & Investment Planning and the advisors will be joined by their ‘vital’ team of office support members: Janna McConnaughhay, Deb Kelly, Luke Prill and Taylor Phillips.
“I founded this firm with a mission of treating clients like I would want to be treated,” Prill said. “We invest our clients’ money carefully and intelligently, working with each individual to create truly personalized, comprehensive wealth strategies that run the gamut from basic needs to complex goals. All our recommendations and decisions on behalf of clients are based solely in their best interests.”
