BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (PRWEB) January 11, 2022 - Valerie Leonard, AIF, CPFA, officially announced the new name of the financial advisory practice she leads: EverThrive Financial Group. The Alabama-based practice provides financial planning and investment management to individual clients, and 401(k) plan management for businesses. Its award-winning team has helped thousands of clients since its founding in 2007, and the new name represents the next phase of its continued growth.

EverThrive has transitioned seamlessly from its former business name of Grinkmeyer Leonard Financial. I chose the name EverThrive because it represents our core mission we want to see our clients thrive in every area and season of their lives. The rebrand is about our clients, and our passion for working with them, says Valerie.

The independent advisory firm began by providing guidance to individual clients, and later expanded to include 401(k) consulting and management. EverThrive works with clients at all life stages. Whether theyre just getting started or about to retire, we meet them where they are, Valerie continues. The firm now represents clients and businesses across the nation, in addition to its Alabama client base. The EverThrive team has won dozens of awards from industry and media organizations, including Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisors in 2019, 2020, and 2021.

While EverThrive has the professional capabilities and resources of large financial firms, Valerie maintains focus on EverThrives proactive service model. Weve believe that our client service really sets us apart she notes.
