It also offers the RIA aggregator a third location in New York and its 33rd office across the US.

The takeover provides Wealth Enhancement Group its fifth office in the Tri-State area, covering the New York City area and portions of Connecticut, northern New Jersey and Long Island.

Wealth Enhancement Group CEO Jeff Dekko said: “CJM Wealth Management’s client-centred team approach and robust financial planning skills are perfectly aligned with the culture we have built at Wealth Enhancement Group, and we are thrilled to bring them on board as we bolster our presence in the New York metro area.”

Set up in 2003, CJM offers wealth management for individuals and families along with 401(k) plan management. The firm specialises in working with physicians.

The firm’s employee headcount is six. This includes two financial advisers, CEO and founder Charles Massimo and managing director Peter Anastasian.

Massimo noted: “Based on their track record of providing value to clients, strong operating platform and history of growth, we decided that joining them under the Wealth Enhancement Group umbrella was the best strategic decision for us and our clients.”
