Berman Investment Advisors founder and president Steve Berman said: “We had been tirelessly searching for the right strategic partner to help us elevate the level of service we offer clients.
“I also felt it was in my client’s best interest to look for a founder with a long-term vision, rather than a private equity-backed buyer. I see a lot of my younger self in Stewart and admire his innovative vision for the business.”
