Joining forces with Daybright grants our team access to additional retirement expertise and resources, amplifying the successful service model we have established at EZTPA.”
Continuity is key in this transition, as Adam Hunt and Wendy Hunt will retain their roles as Managing Partners of EZTPA. This ensures that existing clients and advisor partners will continue to engage with the same knowledgeable team they have relied on thus far. Megan Schneider, Chief Executive Officer of Daybright Financial, expressed her excitement to welcome the EZTPA team, stating that their deep technical know-how and personalized service model delicately complement Daybright’s existing offerings.
