1Northern Virginia Magazine: Top Financial Professionals
To compile the Top Financial Professionals list, Northern Virginia Magazine sent surveys to Northern Virginia financial professionals asking them to recommend other financial professionals whom they would refer to friends and family. Our editorial staff then vetted those nominated to compile the final list. Although some Top Financial Professional winners chose to advertise in the magazine, no one can pay to be included on the list. This listing and the advertising section are separate entities.
