2012-09-19

SPRINGFIELD, MO, September 19, 2012 (Press-News.org) Jack Thurman, president of BKD Wealth Advisors, LLC, is proud to announce BKD has been named to Accounting Today's Top Firms by Assets Under Management list for 2012. This is the fifth consecutive year BKD has been recognized.

The accounting publication's annual Top Firms recognition honors CPA firms with financial planning practices or subsidiaries and ranks each by assets under management (AUM). The sixth annual Top Firms ranking includes submissions from 192 CPA wealth management firms across the country. BKD was one of sixteen practices included on the list's "Billion Dollar Club," recognizing firms with an AUM greater than one billion dollars.

"We have been very fortunate to have grown to this size during the last 12 years considering the volatility of markets during that period," Thurman said. "This is a testament to the quality of professionals we have been able to hire and retain."
