The team was ranked 33 on Forbes and SHOOK Research's annual list

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
JKS Financial, a financial services and wealth management firm, has been ranked 33rd on the 2024 Pennsylvania West list of Forbes Best-in-State Top Wealth Management Teams. Honorees who are named to the annual list exhibit strong expertise, top accomplishments, and steadfast dedication to their profession, leaving a substantial imprint on the financial industry.

“This list showcases our dedication to our clients, whose financial goals and aspirations we prioritize above all else. It is through their trust and partnership that we have achieved this, and we remain committed to delivering unparalleled service to them for many years to come," said Geoff Kasse, wealth management advisor and managing partner at JKS Financial.

The Forbes and SHOOK Research second annual rankings feature more than 4,100 teams across the country, with cumulative assets of over $5 trillion. These teams do more than just invest money, they work tirelessly for the families they serve, offering tailored services to help them fund their futures. Each team was chosen from a nomination pool of over 43,000, displaying outstanding leadership and high-quality service.

“At JKS Financial, excellence is not just a goal, it’s our standard. This recognition reaffirms our commitment to maintaining the exceptional standards that define our team,” said Dan Jenkins, wealth management advisor and managing partner at JKS Financial. “We believe in setting the bar high because our clients deserve nothing less than the very best in strategic planning, investment management, and personalized service.”
