Lighthouse Wealth Management Achieves Distinction

Lighthouse Wealth Management recently celebrated a significant achievement by being recognized as the 141st top wealth advisory firm in the United States on Accounting Today's prestigious 2026 Wealth Magnets list. This ranking is particularly special as it represents Lighthouse's inaugural appearance on this renowned list, signaling remarkable growth and commitment to assisting clients in navigating their financial futures confidently.

The Accounting Today Wealth Magnets list is an annual assessment that reviews and ranks wealth advisory firms affiliated with accounting entities based on their assets under management (AUM). For the 20th iteration of this evaluation, nearly 200 firms submitted their AUM data, indicating a competitive landscape of renowned firms striving for excellence. The depth and breadth of wealth management practices highlighted in this listing reflect a growing trend where accounting firms are increasing their service offerings to meet diverse client needs.

Teancum Light, JD, CPA, CFP®, the President of Lighthouse Wealth Management, expressed enthusiasm about the recognition: "We are honored to be recognized among the wealth management firms featured on Accounting Today's 2026 Wealth Magnets list. Our focus on strategic tax planning continues to shape the way we serve our clients, helping us deliver thoughtful guidance while supporting their evolving financial needs."

Founded upon the principles of fiduciary responsibility, Lighthouse Wealth Management operates as a fee-only registered investment advisor, providing an array of tailored services such as asset management, financial planning, tax planning, and estate planning to clients in the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. The leadership team, composed of dedicated professionals like Teancum Light and James "Jimmy" K. Adams III, CFA, CFP®, emphasizes personalized and relationship-driven services to foster long-term client partnerships.

Lighthouse Wealth Management's reach is extensive, featuring nine locations across major areas in Pennsylvania and Maryland, including Camp Hill, Hanover, Lancaster, Reading, State College, and Frederick, among others. The firm attributes its steady growth to a commitment to personalized service, allowing it to build lasting relationships with clients while expanding its operational capabilities.

The firm has roots deeply connected to the accounting profession, having evolved from BSSF Wealth in 2020 and merging with Lighthouse Wealth Management in 2022. This merger solidified its practices under the Lighthouse name, enabling the firm to incorporate the extensive tax knowledge from its affiliation with Brown Plus, a notable accounting and advisory firm. This affiliation particularly enhances Lighthouse's ability to integrate tax planning with wealth management and financial planning seamlessly.

Jimmy Adams, CFA, CFP®, further remarked, "Being included in this year's Wealth Magnets ranking is an encouraging milestone as Lighthouse continues to grow. I remain grateful to Brown Plus for the trust they placed in me when we initially formed this partnership six years ago. I look forward to continuing to build on that relationship for years to come."
