Barron’s awarded the 2022 #53 Top RIA Firms ranking to CliftonLarsonAllen Wealth Advisors, LLC based on data compiled for CliftonLarsonAllen Wealth Advisors.

The AUM figures were for a variety of dates, but none earlier than year-end 2021. CliftonLarsonAllen Wealth Advisors did not pay a fee to participate in this ranking.
