Hawkins Wealth was founded by Tim Hawkins in 2012. The firm is said to uphold an analytical approach to financial planning and a low client-to-adviser ratio to help clients nearing retirement, selling a business or navigating other life changes.

The addition of Hawkins Wealth will bring Wealth Enhancement’s total client assets to over $55.5bn and further bolsters the firm’s Midwest presence.

Following the transaction, Hawkins Wealth’s team of six financial advisors and seven support staff will join Wealth Enhancement.

Hawkins said that the deal would allow his firm to drive growth by leveraging Wealth Enhancement’s support services and technology offerings.
