Forbes: Marriage and merger make for top emerging RIA.
A marriage led to a merger and ultimately to a place on our list of top emerging RIA firms. Elissa Buie and David Yeske are each the founders of their own financial planning firms, hers in Vienna, Va., his in San Francisco. After the two advisors, who met on the board of the Financial Planning Association, got married five years ago, they ended up merging their professional as well as their personal lives, and in 2008 Yeske Buie was born. The firm, which maintains offices on both coasts, manages about $300 million for some 200 clients, primarily individuals.
