The group aspires to achieve gender parity among its partner advisers by 2025, concentrating on fostering an inclusive atmosphere and providing resources like as women-to-women mentoring and CFP tuition funding.

Study after study notes that women prefer working with other women financial advisors. As trillions of dollars transfer to a younger generation, the demand for advisory services provided by women, for women, is set to grow significantly. We are happy to partner with The W Source and Hannah to expand this platform and create more opportunities for women advisers to advance their careers at The AmeriFlex Group.”
