OneDigital Investment Advisors has acquired WealthSource Partners, a San Luis Obispo, California-based RIA that oversees $2 billion in client assets, the firm announced Wednesday.
WealthSource Partners has 44 employees who serve the firm’s more than 2,500 client families from locations in nine states: California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Ohio, Tennessee and Florida.
The firm began in 2009 with the merger of Vellum Financial, founded by Bryan Sullivan, and Avant-Garde Advisors, founded by Eric Patton and Jon Dubravac. Sullivan is WealthSource's CEO, while Patton is CFO and Dubravac is chief business development officers.
In a statement, the executives cited OneDigital’s “more comprehensive suite of services, including advanced financial planning tools, robust investment strategies, and a wider network of expertise.”
“We’re delighted to welcome the WealthSource team and weave their valuable expertise into our robust team of dedicated financial advisers,” Vincent Morris, president of retirement and wealth at OneDigital, said in the statement. “Together with WealthSource, we will meet the increasing challenges with our depth of knowledge and mutual desire to put our clients’ needs first.”
