The end of a year is always time for reflection. It goes without saying how grateful we are to you as our client. When we considered launching our own firm nearly a decade ago, it was about building a business that was known for its values and its services. Each day, I realize that we are living true to that commitment to ourselves and our clients.

As we approach 2024, I want to share the exciting news that Griff Salmon and I are acquiring VisionFirst Advisors and are no longer a wholly owned subsidiary of Bulter Snow. Having an independent business was always our long-term goal – and this allows us to reach that objective.

We appreciate our relationship with Butler Snow over the last eight years and we will continue to partner with the firm on projects. In the coming days we will be announcing a new strategic partnership that will provide VisionFirst’s clients an expanded suite of services. The economic development marketplace is rapidly changing, and our new partner reflects this changing dynamic – providing opportunities for growth and transparency simultaneously.

We value the trust that has been placed in our team to be your strategic partner and deliver results. We are excited about this next chapter of our business venture that started on a notepad and launched in March of 2015.

We look forward to serving you in the new year and introducing new ways to help you meet your own goals for 2024.

Happy New Year!
