Spain stated: “As we examined how we wanted to expand in the future, we felt working with Stratos would be the best path to achieving our goals. Stratos’ reputation is strong in Cleveland and around the country, and I know their team will help us fully utilise the technological and practice management solutions they offer allowing us to take our firm and clients forward.”

Jeff Concepcion, founder and CEO of Stratos Wealth Partners, added: “I’ve known Hank for years and have a deep respect for his approach to client service. I’m thrilled Hank and Dayna have joined us as they continue to grow their business by taking advantage of Stratos’ scale and scope to enhance the way they support their clients.”
