- While being recognized by these publications is always an honor, WE’s singular focus remains on serving their clients. “Families deserve to trust their advisors.

To be considered for these awards, firms must demonstrate excellence, best practices, and innovation. Voting for the 2015 Finance Awards was open to the publication’s substantial subscriber base, individuals and firms in the financial sector, and visitors to the magazine’s website, combined with the magazine’s in-house research, which carefully scrutinizes the nominee’s region, performance over the past 12 months, commitment to innovation, methods, and even their competition. A panel of judges with extensive industry experience chooses all other award winners.
