Keystone is described as an advisory firm employing a team-based approach that includes client access to accountants, attorneys, and financial planners “in a holistic way.”
Keystone Wealth has financial advisers, attorneys and CPAs among its 29 employees, according to founder and managing director John Hagensen.
“I have admired Creative Planning since my early days as a financial adviser,” Hagensen said in a statement.
He added that his team is in “perfect alignment” with Creative Planning’s “vision to provide holistic advice that spans far beyond investments.”
