Focus Announces Acquisition of EverNest Financial Advisors
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – May 28, 2026 – Focus Financial Partners Inc., a leading financial services firm comprised of integrated wealth management, family office, and business management services, announced today that Focus Partners Wealth, LLC will acquire EverNest Financial Advisors, LLC in a transaction expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
EverNest is expected to add approximately $960 million, measured as of December 31, 2025, to Focus Partners Wealth’s existing regulatory assets under management.
EverNest is a wealth management firm that provides comprehensive financial planning and investment services to individuals, families, foundations and endowments.
This transaction unites two firms with complementary service models, grounded in a planning first, team-based approach to fiduciary advice and investment management. EverNest has a strong record of organic growth and, by joining Focus, gains access to expanded resources and capabilities that will help accelerate that momentum.
“I have developed a strong relationship with the Focus team over many years that affirmed a shared client-first alignment in our businesses,” said Frank Esposito, Managing Partner at EverNest. “As we sought opportunities to expand capabilities for our clients and provide more expansive career pathing for our team members, Focus was a clear fit.”
“This acquisition underscores Focus’ continued strategic growth through M&A. EverNest has a high-caliber, driven team that is aligned with our long-term goals,” said Travis Danysh, Chief Strategy Officer at Focus. “We are excited to watch their success as they take advantage of new opportunities available to them as part of Focus.”
Founded in 2022 and based in Carmel, Indiana, EverNest serves clients across the United States. This acquisition will bolster Focus’ footprint in greater Indianapolis, a strategic growth market where Focus already has a significant presence.
