The transaction brings Folsom, Calif.-based Allworth’s total assets under management and administration to more than $30 billion, and the total number of client households it serves to more than 28,000.

“This acquisition represents the next step in our growth as a national destination for clients seeking expert guidance and personalized planning,” Allworth CEO John Bunch said in the release. “I’ve known their team for over two decades, and not only are they one of the most impressive firms I’ve had the pleasure to engage with, but they also embody the kind of talent, philosophy, and client-first mindset that aligns with Allworth’s vision and direction.”

Salzinger Sheaff Brock and Sheaff Brock will be able to offer their clients access to Allworth’s range of services, which include investment management, tax strategy, estate planning, insurance, and retirement services.
