AUGUST 2026. KENNESAW, Ga.— Continuing a tradition of national recognition, Henssler Financial has been named No. 157 on Financial Advisor magazine’s 2026 Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) Survey & Ranking. The annual ranking recognizes independent advisory firms nationwide based on total assets under management (AUM) as of year-end 2025.
The 2026 RIA Ranking comes at a time when the advisory profession is benefiting from growing demand for fiduciary advice, expanding household wealth, and strong market performance. The report also highlights key industry trends, including increased adoption of AI tools, competition for advisor talent, private equity investment in advisory firms, and a growing emphasis on organic growth and long-term client relationships.
“Being recognized again in Financial Advisor magazine’s RIA Ranking reflects the confidence our clients place in us every day,” said Stacy Haubenschild, Chief Operating Officer and Principal. “While market performance has supported growth across the advisory profession, we believe lasting success in a competitive market comes from building long-term relationships, delivering thoughtful advice, and continuing to evolve alongside our clients’ needs.”
According to Financial Advisor magazine, more than 77 million Americans now work with a financial advisor in some capacity, while the number of affluent households continues to grow. At the same time, the profession faces challenges attracting the next generation of advisors and balancing technology, including AI, with personalized client relationships.
“Technology continues to improve the way advisory firms operate, creating efficiencies that allow advisors to spend more time where they add the greatest value—understanding clients’ goals and helping them navigate important financial decisions,” said Haubenschild. “As the profession evolves, we remain committed to combining those technological advances with the personalized guidance and long-term relationships that have always been central to our approach.”
Financial Advisor magazine’s 2026 rankings and analysis appear in the July/August issue and include the Top 50 Fastest Growing RIAs and insights into how the industry is navigating increased competition for talent, greater private equity interest, and a heightened focus on sustainable organic growth rather than market-driven asset appreciation alone.
