HTK is proud to announce we have been named a Finalist in the WealthManagement.com 2023 Industry Awards (the “Wealthies”), a national awards program honoring outstanding achievements by companies, organizations and individuals that support financial advisor success.

HTK is a top three Finalist in the Practice Management category. According to WealthManagement.com, a record-breaking number of nominations was submitted for the 9th Annual Industry Awards. Over 1,000 entries were received from more than 400 companies, with 253 organizations selected as Finalists in one or more of the categories in this year’s awards program.

National recognition for our fee-based financial planning program

HTK is a Finalist for our transformed fee-based financial planning program. As part of this undertaking, HTK modernized and streamlined this planning service, making it easier for HTK financial professionals to deliver financial advice to their clients and creating improved efficiencies between the financial professional, home office and client.

The comprehensive journey resulted in a complete rehaul and refresh of the program to elevate HTK’s model for supporting the growing demand and interest in fee-for-advice services. The initiative also included an expanded partnership with AdvicePay as a platform to support the fee-based financial planning process from initial agreements through payment collection.

“We’re honored to be named a Finalist,” said Erin Jagusak, managing director of investment advisory services, HTK. “The transformation of the fee-based financial planning program at HTK was launched with the goal of making it easier for HTK financial professionals to deliver advice and planning services to their clients. Recognition as a Finalist in this well-respected industry awards program affirms HTK’s commitment to delivering the platforms and programs that support the continued success of the financial professionals we serve.”
