Lumia Wealth Will Join Focus Partner Firm Buckingham Strategic Wealth, Strengthening Buckingham's Presence in Kansas City

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 2, 2022 / Focus Financial Partners Inc. (NASDAQ:FOCS) ("Focus"), a leading partnership of independent, fiduciary wealth management firms, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement under which Lumia Wealth, LLC ("Lumia"), a registered investment adviser located in Overland Park, Kansas, will join Focus partner firm Buckingham Strategic Wealth, LLC ("Buckingham" or "Buckingham Strategic Wealth"). This transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.

Founded in 2002, Lumia offers a range of wealth advisory services to professionals, business owners, and physicians in the greater Kansas City area. Lumia is second-generation family firm which Brian Brush, CFP®, assumed leadership for from his father-in-law and firm founder David Imhoff in 2016. Lumia has been associated with Buckingham since 2002 through its partnership with Buckingham Strategic Partners, LLC, Buckingham's affiliated comprehensive wealth platform.

"Our firms have always shared a similar client-first philosophy and we were one of the first firms to start working with Buckingham Strategic Partners about twenty years ago. Joining Buckingham Strategic Wealth was a logical progression for us in growing our business and serving our clients with the best financial tools available," said Brian Brush, CFP®, Principal of Lumia. "We look forward to becoming part of the Buckingham Kansas City team and expanding the resources and expertise available to our clients."

Buckingham CEO Adam Birenbaum echoed that sentiment. "We are excited to welcome Brian to Buckingham. With increasing frequency, we are seeing incredibly talented young advisors like Brian joining us. Our level of support and our culture allow them to focus more of their time on their passion - helping clients, and in Brian's case also participating in the ongoing success of the business as a wealth advisor. Buckingham allows the best of both worlds."

"We are excited for Lumia to join Buckingham as our third merger in 2022," said Rudy Adolf, Founder, CEO and Chairman of Focus. "This transaction will strengthen Buckingham's existing Kansas City presence and is another example of our expertise in helping our partners attract like-minded firms and top-tier talent."
