(Long Lake MN) — November 29, 2022 — ViaWealth, LLC announced that it recently acquired Brightline Group, a Minnesota financial advisory firm. Founded in 2012, Brightline Group services high-net-worth individuals and families with highly customized wealth management solutions. The transaction will bolster ViaWealth’s overall growth strategy as it looks to expand into many major metro areas in the Midwest and other parts of the United States.
“We are thrilled to join forces with the Brightline Group. Woody and his team provide an exceptional level of service to their clients which aligns very well with ViaWealth’s client service standards,” said Reid Larson, Managing Member, and Founder at ViaWealth. “We know from decades of personal experience, that there had to be a better way to help people who have accumulated substantial assets make better, more informed decisions for their financial futures. That’s why we created ViaWealth.”
