Equius Partners was founded in 1993 and its team of seven financial advisors and five support staff is led by Thomas "TJ" Troutner. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"By expanding our presence in important markets such as Northern California, we are better positioned to deliver exceptional service and support to our clients while living our values and fostering a culture of teamwork," Jeff Dekko, CEO of Wealth Enhancement Group, said in a statement.
