Ashford Advisors is pleased to announce William R. Mumpower, CLU®, CFP®, RICP® and Matthew G. Lipscomb, CLU®, ChFC® have been recognized as two of Atlanta’s 2014 FIVE STAR Wealth Managers.

Recipients were recognized in a special section of the October 2014 issue of Atlanta magazine. This is the third consecutive nomination and award for both Mumpower and Lipscomb under the new Five Star Wealth Manager guidelines and the seventh overall.

The Five Star Wealth Manager award program is the largest and most widely published award program in the financial services industry. The award is based on a rigorous, multifaceted research methodology which incorporates input from peers and firm leaders along with client retention rates, industry experience and a thorough regulatory history review.

“We feel privileged to be acknowledged and included in this select group of industry professionals,” stated William Mumpower. “It is even more meaningful to know it comes from our clients feedback and experiences. We are committed to excellence and strive to exceed our clients’ expectations through superior service and trusted guidance.”

Mumpower and Lipscomb, who have more than 60 years combined experience in the financial services industry, specialize in investment and retirement planning for executives, professionals, and small business owners.
