“I am thrilled to take my solo practice to a firm with such an impressive leadership team, quality support infrastructure, technology stack, and a philosophy of putting clients first. I knew that merging with Mission Wealth would be the Fiduciary and the right thing to do to help my clients and to continue to grow. I am so happy to have found Mission Wealth as a partner and I look forward to our continued success.” Murphy added.
